This guide describes the technology and applications of fiber-reinforced shotcrete (FRS) using synthetic and steel fibers. 3. Continuous meshes, woven fabrics, and long rods are not considered as discrete fiber-type reinforcing elements in this guide. Since that time, it has been used in numerous applications, mainly in new construction or lining rock slopes and un This paper explains the results of round determinate panel tests and relates the flexural strength and toughness of fiber-reinforced shotcrete to known energy absorbing properties of wire mesh. Topics covered include materials used, mixture proportions, production of shotcrete, testing procedures, performance of FRS, design considerations (including an example in the Appendix), specifications, and some examples of applications. 0000001156 00000 n

The suitability of reinforced shotcrete can be demonstrated most effectively in full scale panel tests subject to bending. FIBRE REINFORCED SHOTCRETE E. Stefan Bernard TSE P/L, PO Box 763 Penrith NSW 2751 Australia, Tel: +61-247-255-801, Fax: +61-247-225-773, email: s.bernard@tse.net.au ABSTRACT Fibre Reinforced Shotcrete (FRS) is now used together with bolts for ground support in almost every underground metalliferous mine in Australia. For the design of shotcrete mixes, it is of interest to see if data on fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) can be employed as an initial guideline.
