ACI Committee 506 is the technical committee responsible for creating and maintaining the ACI documents related to shotcrete. ACI 506R-16 Guide to Shotcrete is an excellent resource for shotcrete information including materials, equipment, crew composition and placing techniques. It is a non-mandatory document that is very descriptive and readable. ACI 506.2-13 (18) Specification for Shotcrete is another excellent resource that has mandatory requirements for the contractor’s shotcrete placements. Additionally, the ACI 318-19 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete directly addresses shotcrete for use in buildings.
