What is the national Average cost per sq ft for Shotcrete?
As of my last update, the national average cost for shotcrete typically ranges from $10 to $15 per square foot, depending on factors like project size, location, and application type. This cost may vary based on additional factors such as reinforcement, finishing, and site accessibility. For the most accurate pricing, it's advisable to consult local contractors or recent market reports.
How do you repair a crack in slab?
To repair a crack in a concrete slab, first clean the crack thoroughly by removing any loose debris or dust. If the crack is wider than 1/4 inch, fill it with a concrete repair caulk or epoxy filler, ensuring it penetrates deep into the crack. For smaller cracks, a concrete resurfacer or patching compound can be applied. Finally, smooth the surface and allow it to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Why do concrete patios crack?
A concrete patio usually cracks due to heat cold. If it is to cold it contract and break. If it is to hot it will expand and break. Then water can seep into those cracks and freeze causing the crack to expand
What causes potholes or large cracks in a pavement to appear in a street?
The main cause is in cold climates water gets into a tiny crack and then freezes and expands causing the crack to get larger and then when cars drive on it it will eventually cause the top layer of asphalt to break off. In warmer climates the constant wear of vehicles and heat from the sun dries the asphalt and causes the top layers of asphalt to crack, which can widen from rain water. Little cracks like in drive ways are usually caused by roots which can cause cement to crack and break up. To read more see attached link.
How do you increase concrete cover to existing column?
To increase the concrete cover on an existing column, you can apply a layer of shotcrete or form a new concrete jacket around the column. First, clean the surface of the existing concrete to ensure proper bonding. Then, create forms to contain the new concrete, ensuring that the additional cover meets the required thickness. Finally, pour or spray the new concrete mix and allow it to cure adequately.
What is crack patterns in shotcrete?
Crack patterns in shotcrete refer to the various types of cracks that can develop in shotcrete applications, which is a method of applying concrete through a high-pressure nozzle. These patterns can result from factors such as shrinkage, temperature fluctuations, improper curing, or structural loads. Common crack patterns include hairline cracks, map cracking, and structural cracks, each indicating different underlying issues. Monitoring and addressing these cracks is essential to maintain the integrity and durability of the shotcrete structure.

Do you have to water cure Shotcrete?
Yes, shotcrete should be water cured to ensure proper hydration and strength development. Water curing helps to prevent the surface from drying too quickly, which can lead to cracking and reduced durability. It's typically recommended to keep the shotcrete moist for at least 7 days after application to achieve optimal results.
Lean concrete - having a discussion with someone - lean concrete is not as waterproof as shotcrete Any opinions thanks?
A lean mix of concrete is a weak mix (ie. Gen 1 or C10 for example). As for how waterproof a lean mix is compaired to a shotcrete mix, it would depent on what mix of shotcrete is used. Generaly speaking, whatever mix of concrete is used if it dose not have a waterproofing agent in it (ie. Sika 1+ Waterproofer for example) it wont be that waterproof. But if you want a staight answer, I would say shotcrete would be more waterproof, only because it tends to be a stronger mix. Regards Colin, a concrete batcher for Tarmac.
