Abstract:

The authors developed an accelerator based on amorphous cacium aluminate named NATMIC for shotcrete. In Japan, accelerator based amorphous calcium aluminate are widely used in shotcrete of NATM. By using of this accelerator which produces C₂AH₈ at the initial hydration on itself, compressive strength of shotcrete is increased at early stage. And, the long-term stability and compressive strength of concrete with this accelerator are not decreased compared with ordinary concrete. The amounts of rebound and dust of shotcreting with this accelerator are also discussed.
