Webinar: Shotcrete-Based Ground Support in Underground Mines

Shotcrete is one of the key elements in underground support design, but what do we really know about its behavior and limitations?

Wednesday December 10, 2025
10:00 – 11:00 AM (UTC-06:00)

Program Overview

  • Alternative design that considers the plastic behavior of shotcrete including the post-peak portion of the load-deflection curve.
  • Calculation of the degradation of the strength properties of shotcrete, as a function of its deformation in excavation.
  • Definition of the holding capacity of the shotcrete to prevent detachments.
  • Review of concepts of shotcrete failure mechanisms in excavation.
  • Classification criteria for shotcrete behavior.
  • Scope and limitations for the support of excavations in static conditions.
  • Definition of applicability of shotcrete for intersection of tunnels at different depths and different rock qualities.
