Abstract:

After drilling and blasting, it be comes very important to choose the right material for shot crete in underground tunneling. Over the years,SFRC has been frequently used for shotcrete. This paper focuses attention to the advantages coming from the use of SFRC over plain concrete in terms of compressive strength and flexural strength

Keywords:

Compressive strength,Flexural strength ,Shocrete,SFRC,plain concrete
