Abstract:

The inclusion of a latex into a shotcrete mix imparts a new set of mechanical properties to shotcrete and enhances the benefits of shotcrete when used for the repair of concrete. The effects of the polymer binder on the shotcrete matrix are discussed and then related to the mechanical properties of latex-modified shotcrete. The mechanical properties of latex-modified shotcrete are presented along with a discussion of how they benefit the repair of concrete structures that have experienced corrosion or freeze-thaw damage, particularly in environments subject to chloride exposure. The application of latex-modified shotcrete is discussed and guidelines are provided for preparing the mix proportions and specifications.
