Österreichische Bautechnik Vereinigung (ÖBV)
Über uns ...
Tunnelbau, Straßen-, Ingenieur- oder Hochbau: Ohne Bautechnik-Know-how und den Baustoff Beton sind die Erwartungen an moderne Infrastruktur
und die Wohnwelten der Zukunft nicht einzulösen. Unsere Mitglieder gestalten mit ihren Innovationen mit, wo und wie wir morgen arbeiten und
leben.
Die Österreichische Bautechnik Vereinigung (ÖBV) zählt die maßgebende Bauherrenschaft, die gesamte Bauindustrie, Ingenieurbüros, Universitäten
und Fachhochschulen sowie namhafte Produkthersteller zu ihren 200 Mitgliedsfirmen.
Die Primäraufgabe der Vereinigung ist das gemeinsame Erarbeiten des Letztstandes der Beton- und Bautechnik durch Vertreter der Mitgliedsfirmen.
Dazu werden zu den Fachthemen Arbeitskreise gebildet, die die fachlichen Inhalte für ÖBV-Richtlinien erstellen. Den so erarbeiteten Wissensstand
gibt die ÖBV in Fortbildungsveranstaltungen, Fachseminaren und Kongressen an die Mitarbeiter der Mitgliedsbetriebe weiter.
Die Österreichische Bautechnik Vereinigung bezweckt die Förderung aller Bestrebungen auf den Gebieten Wissenschaft, Technik, Wirtschaft und
Information im Betonbau und der Bautechnik.
Richtlinien - Wichtige Standards mitbestimmen

Die Richtlinien werden in den ÖBV-Arbeitskreisen zu verschiedenen Themenbereichen erarbeitet. Sie fassen den Stand der Technik zusammen und
werden so zu einem wichtigen Arbeitsmittel für die Ausschreibung, Planung, Ausführung und Bewertung von Bauprojekten. Unsere Mitglieder
bestimmen mit, welche Inhalte schließlich veröffentlicht werden. Über die ÖBV-Plattform können sie sich außerdem an Forschungsprojekten
beteiligen.
Seminare - Technisches Wissen ausbauen

Für die Aus- und Fortbildung aller für das Gelingen eines Bauwerks Verantwortlichen (Bauherr, Planer, Ausführende und Zulieferer) hat die ÖBV
gemeinsam mit dem Güteverband Transportbeton eine eigene Ausbildungsinstitution geschaffen. Die Betonakademie bietet jährlich über 100 Seminare
österreichweit an, die neben Basiswissen in der Betontechnologie ein breites Spektrum an beton- und bautechnischen Anwendungen abdeckt.
www.betonakademie.at
Kongresse - Internationales Know-how nutzen

Neben Seminaren veranstaltet die ÖBV auch Kongresse und Tagungen wie den alle zwei Jahre stattfindenden Baukongress. Die zweitägige
Veranstaltung bringt Experten aus ganz Zentraleuropa nach Wien. Sie stellen die neuesten technischen Trends vor, erläutern wichtige Projekte und
analysieren Ausführungen und Planungen im Tunnel-, Straßen-, Ingenieur- und Hochbau. Der Baukongress wird dadurch zur wichtigsten Plattform für
Bauwissen in Centropa.

Preface
The 2013 edition of the Sprayed Concrete Guideline is the third revision of the Sprayed Concrete
Guideline first published by the Austrian Concrete Society in 1989 (Part I- Application) and 1992
(Part 2 - Testing).
Due to the harmonisation of European standards for sprayed concrete (EN 14487 series), national
standards were to be withdrawn by December 2007. As of May 2006, the corresponding European
standard in Austria were successively harmonised. An adjustment of this Guideline is therefore
mandatory.
The issue of 2009 of the German Guideline Sprayed Concrete should now continue the 20-year
tradition of being the basis for the production of quality-corresponding sprayed concrete under
objective contractual terms. As the ÖVBB Guideline Maintenance and Repairs of Structures made
from Concrete and Reinforced Concrete applies for repair work in Austria, the focus of this
Guideline is traditionally on use in tunnel construction.

0 PRELIMINARY REMARKS
In order to eliminate barriers to trade within the European Economic Area, the following principles
have to be observed.
Products from the member states of the European Union and goods originating from EFTA
countries, which are part of the European Economic Area (EEA), which do not correspond to the
requirements of this Guideline, but fulfil the tests and monitoring carried out and recognised in the
member state, are, including these tests and monitoring, treated as equal, if in Austria the
necessary protection level as regards safety, health and usability are equally achieved permanently
and are proven to fulfil the additional requirements of this directive. The requirements of the
harmonised standards of the standard series OENORMEN EN 14487, OENORMEN EN 14488
and the Austrian standards OENORM B 3309, OENORM B 3327-1, OENORM B 4710-1 and ONR
23303, inasmuch stated below, are included in this directive. The testing laboratories involved
must offer suitable and satisfactory guarantees for technical and expert qualification and
independent (e.g. in accordance with OEVE/OENORM EN ISO/IEC 17025).
All documents on tests and monitoring as well as standards, technical guidelines and regulations
on products or original documents and verifications must be presented in German (certified
translation).
The text that is not in italics is the binding directive text. The test that is in italics is for explanation
purposes and not suitable as part of an agreement.

SCOPE
This Guideline applies to the production of structural components made of plain and reinforced
concrete as well as close-textured reinforced concrete placed by the method of shotcreting.
For sprayed concrete in repair, the requirements of the ÖVBB Guideline Maintenance and Repairs
of structures made from concrete and reinforced concrete must be observed. Textile-armoured
sprayed concrete and sprayed high ductility concrete (SHCC) are not yet included in this
Guideline. In addition to the principles set out in this Guideline, they require further examinations
and determinations.
Sprayed concrete is to be mixed from the constituent materials of concrete (cement, additions,
spray cement, mineral aggregates, fibres, water and admixtures) in such a way as to permit proper
placing under the conditions to be expected at the building site and to ensure achievement of the
required properties.
For industrial hygiene reasons as well as in respect of an increase of the durability of the sprayed
concrete, only "alkali-free accelerators" (see Item 4.5. 1) are permitted under this directive.
Sprayed concrete is used in all fields of civil engineering and building construction. In particular,
sprayed concrete is suited for use under special conditions, such as:
• absence of formwork
• application in thin layers
• early strength requirements
• special construction methods.
For the purposes of construction planning and execution, sprayed concrete can be classified in
sprayed concrete classes according Item 7.1.
Currently used:
O
fM
• the dry spraying procedure with the use of spray binding agents or of cements in accordance
with Item 4.1.1 with powder or liquid accelerators,
E
• the wet spraying method with liquid accelerators.
ru
In dry-mix shotcreting, the use of mix with dry mineral aggregates (dry mix - TM) or spray cement
QJ
CQ
mixed in situ with naturally moist mineral aggregates (moist mix - FM-S) enables building sites to
be supplied with fresh mix at any time and thus ensures of a continuously high level of quality.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY OF SPRAYED CONCRETE
A reduction of the environmental impact and improved occupational health and safety have been
among the priority objectives in the further development of sprayed concrete technology. Sprayed
concrete with non-alkaline acceleration has no negative influence on the environment and offers
considerable advantages in terms of occupational health and safety.
The following environmental influences have to be considered:
• Impact on air quality
In general, shotcreting operations do not have a negative impact on air quality. The presence
of aerosols has to be assessed in terms of occupational health and safety.
• Impact on excavated material
Experience available to date does not suggest that the use of non-alkaline acceleration in
sprayed concrete has any negative influence on the leaching behaviour of excavated material,
provided the rate of rebound in the excavated material is less than 5.0 wt.%. (Possible test
methods: lysimeter [3])
• Impact on mountain and groundwater
When used in tunnelling, sprayed concrete may be exposed to rock and ground water.
The leachability of concrete being very low even after a short period of hardening, a negative
impact on water quality has not been observed. Thus, concrete qualifies as an environmentally
safe construction material. The same applies to sprayed concrete with non-alkaline
acceleration. To optimize the recipe of cement-based materials in terms of reduced fusion
potential see ÖVBB guideline of "tunnel drainage".
Besides the use of non-alkaline accelerators, careful working and a low water-binder ratio
(< 0.60) also contribute towards ensuring a leaching behaviour in sprayed concrete similar to
that of in-situ concrete. The admixture of silica fume may also have a favourable influence on
o
r\i leaching. For sprayed concrete leachate, the limits according to Table 3-1 apply:

-Q During sprayed concrete production, the building-site crew is at risk due to dust formation

minimised through suitable measures. Dust as well as smoke and mist are classified as
aerosols.
c
o
Depending on the location and the time, the concentration of dust during the placing of sprayed
U
o concrete is subject to major fluctuations, which have to be considered in the interpretation of the
CD
(J
results obtained. The fine dust concentration is assessed on the basis of the maximum permissible
concentration of contaminants at the workplace measured according to Item 12.6.3 [4, 5].
CD
ro
c

April 2013
Fine dust is defined as dust likely to penetrate into the alveoli of the lungs. Fine dust is deemed to
be quartzitic, if its quartz content is 1.0 wt. % or more.
The maximum permissible contaminant concentration at the workplace according to Table 3-2 is
equal to the maximum permissible concentration of dust which, in general, does not adversely
affect the health of workers in the case of repeated and long-term exposure, usually for eight
hours, but for no more than 40 hours a week, without use of personal protective equipment (fine-
dust masks).
Table 3-2 Permissible dust concentration based on maximum permissible contaminant

concentration at the workplace according to [4, 5]
C[mg/m3] Type of dust Assessment period Pollutant load
15 total dust annual average inert
30 total dust hourly average inert
6 fine dust annual average inert
12 fine dust hourly average inert
4 quartzitic fine dust silicogenic
0.15 fine quartz dust silicogenic
Given the fact that a range of activities are performed during tunnelling which produce varying
amounts of dust, the assessment has to be based on the entire working cycle. The short term value
may be reached twice per 8 hours, but not consecutively, provided the daily average of 10 mg/m3
(total dust) and 5 mg/m3 (fine dust) is not exceeded. If personal protective equipment is used,
higher limits are permissible, depending on the protective effect of the equipment
(ÖNORM EN 149).
To diminish the dust load over the entire working cycle, the following measures are recommended:
O
fM • dry-mix shotcreting: use of moist mineral aggregates or pre-moistering of the dry mix,
machine enclosure, favourable nozzle design, nozzle distance, water content
E
• wet-mix shotcreting with non-alkaline accelerators

The impact of spraying mist on the building-site crew has not yet been clearly established. In
subjective terms, workers report that non-alkaline accelerators, compared with alkaline
accelerators, are considerably less irritating.

CONSTITUENT MATERIALS FOR SPRAYED CONCRETE
Only constitutive materials with a proven suitability for the requirements of this guideline for the
production of sprayed concrete may be used. The quality-relevant documents described in this
guideline (e.g. preconstruction tets, own production control and third-party monitoring) must be
submitted on the preconstruction test of the sprayed concrete and during the construction.
The selection of the constitutive materials must be coordinated with the requirements of the
relevant situation of use and the associated requirements.
The directive plans for the addition of the following basic materials in accordance with items 4. 1
to 4.7.
4.1 Binders
4.1.1 Cement
Cement grades bearing a CE mark and usually also a ÜA mark and therefore standard-compliant
according to ÖNORM EN 197-1 or ÖNORM B 3327-1 are to be used.
Cement grades with CE mark but not subject to external inspection according to ÖNORM B 3327-
1 (e.g. CEM I52.5) have to meet the requirements of Table 4-1. Inspection frequency on self-
monitoring has to be performed according to ÖNORM B 3327-1. In addition, for such cements, in
respect of the above documents samples must be taken every other month on the site and (e.g. on
the mixing system) and checked by an accredited testing body Table 4-1.

• Silica fume must meet the requirements of ÖNORM EN 13263-1 and ÖNORM EN 13263-2.
Silica can be added as slurry or in powder form (but not as precompacted powder for dry-
mix shotcreting) in dosages up to 11,0 wt.% of the solid components of the binder mass.
• In the case of dry-mix sprayed concrete, compatibility of the suspension with liquid
accelerators has to be checked (preferably, the suspension should be added to the material
flow at the spray nozzle). As regards storage of the suspension, the specifications for liquid
accelerators apply.

4.5.1 Accelerators (EB)
Accelerators (EB) are used in combination with suitable binders, according to Item 4.1 and
possibly additions, according to Item 4.2. The maximum permissible accelerator dose for the
application in question has to be established in the preconstruction test.
The initial test must determine the maximum permissible dosage of the accelerator for the
application. The initial product test must be carried out by an accredited testing body and must not
be older than three years.
The requirements according to Table 4-5 apply. For reasons of occupational health and safety, the
pH value of the accelerator solution or suspension has to be within a range of 3.0 to 8.0. As a rule,
the dosage should be between 4.0 and 8.0 wt.% (in liquid accelerators a solid content < 5.0 % of
the binder mass is recommended).

5.1.1 Dry mix - TM (dry-aggregate basic mix)
• Silica fume must meet the requirements of ÖNORM EN 13263-1 and ÖNORM EN 13263-2.
Silica can be added as slurry or in powder form (but not as precompacted powder for dry-mix
shotcreting) in dosages up to 11,0 wt.% of the solid components of the binder mass.
Dry mix can be plant-mixed from dry mineral aggregates (w < 0.2 wt.%) with cement, with a
combination of cement and accelerators, if necessary either with additions or with spray
cement (SBM).
The mixing plant has to meet the following requirements according ÖNORM B4710-1:
Storing according 9.6.2.1
Metering equipment according 9.6.2.2
o Weighing equipment for all concrete constituent materials with a weighing accuracy
according Table 21.
o Batching accuracy Table NAD 15.

5.1.2 Moist mix (moist-aggregate mix) FM-L, FM-S
• Production
FM-L moist mix can be ready-mixed or site-mixed from moist mineral aggregates, cement and
additions and transported to the placing site. Requirements on mixing plant and documentation
have to be in accordance with Item 5.1.1. The mixing plant is to be set up in the vicinity of the
placing site, so that the maximum permissible workability time of 105 minutes is not exceeded
without additional measures.
If SMB is used, the short reaction time of a few minutes necessitates continuous (steady)
mixing of the FM-S moist mix in a special mixing plant set up next to the sprayed concrete
delivery machine. Use of a mixing plant for continuous mixing is permitted. Batching and
mixing of the constituent materials has to be such as to guarantee the placing of homogeneous
sprayed concrete on the substrate. Metering may be performed by rotary vane batchers on a
volumetric basis or, preferably, by weighing conveyors. The batching process (metering) has
to be adjusted so as to achieve the required mixing ratio according to Table NAD 15 ÖNORM
B 4710-1 (calibration according to It. 12.6.1), which has to be documented accordingly. For
dry-mix shotcreting a tolerance range of ±5% for all constituent materials is permissible, since
the final composition of the mix is obtained during placing.
The temperatures according to Table 5-4 have to be observed.

• Workability time
The length of time for which FM-L mix remains workable depends largely on external
influences, the type and dosage of the binder, the water content of the mineral aggregate and
the temperatures.
To guarantee first-rate quality of the sprayed concrete, the time taken to spray a mix made
from cement according to Item 4.1.1 must not exceed 105 minutes. Long-term retarders can be
used to keep the mix workable for a longer time.
If SBM is used, the workability time of the FM-S mix is product-specific (workability time of
a few minutes).
5.1.3 Wet mix - NM (fresh concrete mix)
• Production of pumped concrete and wet mix for thin-stream conveying

The mixing equipment has to be in accordance with ÖNORM B 4710-1 It. 9.6.2.3. The use of
microprocessor-controlled equipment is required. Ready-mixed concrete may be used.

6 SPRAYING PROCEDURES
6.1 Placing of sprayed concrete
The application of the sprayed concrete has to be performed by qualified personal.

The application area has to be cleaned with an air-water mixture for underground constructions
and slope stabilization (Exception: water-sensitive surfaces and loose rock).
If bond strength between sprayed concrete and old concrete is required the surface has to
be pretreated (cleaning, roughing, pre-wetting).
Reinforcements and steel components have to be adequately secured. Dust Overspray, loose rock
or loose shotcrate behind the reinforcement (wire mesh) have to be removed before shotcreting. If
a two-layer reinforcement is provided for, the second layer wire mesh (facing the tunnel clearance)
should not be placed before the first one (facing the rock) is covered with sprayed concrete. In the
presence of steel components, such as steel arches, steel girders, laggings, pipes, etc., small
cavities in the lining cannot be excluded, but the effect can be diminished through proper
positioning and control of the nozzle. Core samples should not be taken from such places.
The amount of rebound is strongly influenced not only by the nozzle angle, but also by the
composition of the mix, the amount of water, the material velocity at the nozzle, as well as the
thickness of the sprayed concrete layer and the surface of the wall. Rebound and sprayed concrete
residues must not be reused for shotcreting without prior treatment [8],
The reference spray cement and/or accelerator dose determined during preconstruction testing may
be modified slightly according to local conditions. Such modifications may be required due to the
location and condition of the substrate, seasonal temperature fluctuations, moisture, water ingress
and geological conditions.
Ifconditions turn out to be particularly unfavourablefor a limitedperiod of time, i.e. strong water
o
ingress, the admixture of additional accelerator, adjusted to the overall system, or an increase of
fNJ
the spray cement dose may be necessary
If sprayed concrete is to be worked at air and underground temperatures of less than +5 °C,
E additional measures have to be taken. A minimum mix temperature of +13 °C is recommended. If
ru
the substrate temperature is low, particularly in the case of frozen rock and soil or ice, the
CD
CG
thickness of the sprayed concrete layer has to be increased by 2 - 3 cm.
When placing the sprayed concrete, care has to be taken to produce a homogeneous, dense sprayed
O
concrete texture and a closed, even surface. Therefor is a quantity output of compressed air with
X
sufficent pressure necessary. Only oil free compressed air has to be used.
The distance between the nozzle and the substrate should be adjusted to the rate of delivery and
03
theimpact velocity. Depending on the operating air volume, it is between 0.5 m and 2.0 m. The
in
CD
spraying angle, i.e. the angle between the nozzle and the wall to be shotcreted, should be as close
-Q
to 90° as possible. Nozzle distances and angles other than those recommended diminish the
sprayed concrete quality and result in increased rebound.
For thick sprayed concrete linings, sprayed concrete is to be applied in two or more layers to
o
K prevent separation. This applies, in particular, to sprayed concrete placed overhead. Rebound and
i overspray has to removed and not incorporated into the lining.
(§ If the individual layers required to achieve the ultimate sprayed concrete thickness are placed at
jq longer intervals, the previous sprayed concrete layer has be to cleaned and/or wetted by means of a
re mixture of compressed air and water.
g If sprayed concrete is to be placed consecutively on sections of the substrate and/or joined to
o existing sprayed concrete structures or protruding steel reinforcements, proper jointing to the
existing sprayed concrete surface is essential. Tapering sprayed concrete edges and dirty jointing
°
g surfaces in the case of overlapping reinforcements are to be avoided.

6.2 Dry-mix shotcreting
The mix is delivered to the nozzle in a pressurized airstream by means of compressed air, wetted
with water in the nozzle ring and sprayed onto the substrate.
• Mix
For dry-mix sprayed concrete, dry mix (TM) or moist mix (FM-L, FM-S) according to Item 5
can be used.
• Mix conveyor, shotcrete gun, shotcreting machine
Mix for dry-mix sprayed concrete is delivered into the air stream by means of a rotary
spraying machine, a double-chamber spraying machine or other equipment (batching screw).
The mix conveyor has to ensure a uniform flow of material at the nozzle. The mechanical
equipment has to be absolutely tight (dust formation, sprayed concrete quality).
Unused mix residues and deposits have to be removed continuously.
• Conveyor pipework, material delivery hoses
The conveyor hoses or pipelines should be installed in straight lines or wide bends. Couplings
have to be absolutely tight.
• Spraying nozzle
The spraying nozzle has to be designed in such a way as to ensure thorough mixing of the mix,
water and, if necessary, the accelerator and the additions (e.g. micro-silica slurry).
• Addition of water
Water has to be conveyed to the nozzle under sufficient pressure through hoses or pipelines.
The temperatures indicated in Table 5-3 and Table 5-4 should be observed.
Ifsprayed concrete is delivered at a constant rate, the amount of water requiredfor optimum
workability of the sprayed concrete varies within narrow limits. Observance of these limits
ensures a water-binder ratio of the sprayed concrete of < 0.50. As a rule, measurements are not
o
fN
required.
6.3 Wet-mix shotcreting
I
ru • Wet-mix device
CD Piston pumps are used to convey wet mix in a dense stream (worm pumps are suitedfor use in
CÜ
concrete repair work only). To minimise the interruption of delivery during switching, a long
stroke, fast switch control and an accelerated piston speed (compensation) in the unfilled
O

Modified dry-mix shotcreting machines or pressure vessels with screw discharge are used for
thin-stream conveying.

6.4 Metering of the accelerator
The metering device has to ensure constant batching of the accelerator at a quantity specified
relative to the cement mass and/or proportional to the conveyor output. The amount of accelerator
to be added to the material stream can be adjusted at the metering device. The capacity of the
metering pump has to be recorded for a calibration (calibration curves, with due consideration
given to water pressure in the case of liquid accelerator). At the same time, the actual capacity of
the machine is to be determined. To ensure delivery of a constant dose throughout the period of
operation at the building site, the metering device has to be maintained, cleaned and calibrated at
regular intervals. The accelerator has to be kept at a temperature of above 10° C or
as manufacturer's instruction.
The accelerator dose has to be accurate to less than 1.0 % of the binder dose (e.g. 6.0 % ± 1 % of
binder).
• Metering devices for liquid accelerators
As a rule, liquid accelerator is added continuously to the water or to the mixture, providing
they are proportioned to the delivery rate of the mixture through the material hose coupled to
the set delivery rate of the spray machine. During aspiration of the accelerator from the storage
tank, care has to be taken to avoid air bubbles and contamination. During storage, the liquid
accelerator has to be stirred and maintained in stable condition (no flocculation or changes in
viscosity, e.g. under extreme weather conditions). For the wet spraying method, pumps
integrated in the hydraulic system of the concrete pump are state of the art (are commonly
used) . The dosage pump must also pause during the switching process of the concrete pump.
Changes to the capacity of the pump occur in the wet spraying method on the basis of
authoritative relevant consistency changes to the mix (changes to the filling level of the
cylinder of the pump) and in the dry spraying method due to fluctuations in the humidity level
of the mix or due to deposits in the machine or in the conveyor hose.
ÿ
O
• Metering devices for powder accelerators
™ During dry-mix shotcreting, accelerator in powder form is usually added by means of
y metering devices immediately upstream of the shotcreting machine.
™ - Manual metering into the spraying hopper is permitted in special cases only.
ÿ - Batching screws and rotary vane batchers are only permitted if the required dosage is
cS achieved and documented.
6.5 Curing
ÿo
x
Sprayed concreted with special properties has to be cured in order to limit shrinkage to a minimum
and to ensure sufficient durability and adhesion between the concrete layers or the surface. Curing
must be carried out immediately after application, unless another sprayed concrete layer is applied
in
CD
within a period of 2 hours. As a rale, ÖNORM B 4710-1, Item 14.5 and NAD 17 apply. Thin
n
sprayed concrete layers (< 7 cm) in the concrete repair require double the time stated in Table
| NAD 17.
In tunnel driving, curing of the sprayed concrete SpC I, SpC II and SpC III/XAT is not required
° due to the favourable climatic conditions, with the exception of special circumstances (e.g. strong
J drying out) being given. In such cases, the sprayed concrete surfaces must be kept humid for 7
*= days or sprayed sufficiently with a post-treatment agent in accordance with RVS 11.06.42.

1 REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET BY SPRAYED CONCRETE (CLASSIFIKATION)

The properties of sprayed concrete are defined in sprayed concrete classes, early strength classes,
strength classes and exposure classes.
The properties have to be indicated in the schedule of specifications contract specifications and/or
implementation schedules plan through reference to the corresponding short designations.
7.1 Sprayed concrete classes
The classification in sprayed concrete classes takes into account the intended use of the sprayed
concrete, the relevant structural tasks, the risk level and the durability requirements, including the
design operating life.
The inspection category is assigned to the sprayed concrete classes in accordance with Table 7-1.
Structures or structure parts are assigned by design. The sprayed concrete class must be stated with
the type name of the sprayed concrete.

Special requirements must be determined for the early strength classes in accordance with
Item 7.3. For sprayed concrete for primary lining in tunnel construction, to determine the early
strength class (J, , J2 or J3) the degree of utalisation in the relevant age must be taken into account.
7.1.3 Sprayed concrete with special requirements (SpC III)
This sprayed concrete is intended for constructions with a high risk level and/or special durability
requirements. It is applied for primary and secondary linings of tunnel structures in soft rock under
construction and low overlapping, for composite shell tunnel linings, for free-standing structures
and permanent slope and face reinforcements.
Sprayed concrete for the repair of structures made from concrete, reinforced concrete and
brickwork - not regulated this way in the ÖVBB guideline Maintenance and repairs of structures
made from concrete and reinforced concrete - must be assigned to the sprayed concrete class SpC
III. The production of a homogeneous and dense concrete structure must be ensured in particular.
For SpC III, exposition class XC3 is required as a minimum.
When determining the early strength classes (Jd or J2; J3 only in special cases), the
permissibledegree of utilisation must be taken into account at the relevant age. The strength
requirements must be adjusted to the time progress of use.
The direct application of SpC III on surfaces with a strong water ingress without precaution
measures is not permissible (precaution measures: e.g. flash coat, drainage systems).
7.2 Consistency
Assessment of consistency of wet-mix material by means of test methods according to ÖNORM

EN 12350-5 (spread). The consistency classes according to ÖNORM B 4710-1 do not apply.
The time of use of the concrete planned must be detennined before the initial testing. A minimum
spread of 52 cm must be observed at the final time of use. As a rule, for a time of use of 105
minutes an decreaseof approx. 8 cm must be taken into account. The maximum spread permitted,
o established during the initial test, must not be exceeded. The assessment of the permissible spread
(N
must be carried out in respect of the segregation tendency, observance of the water content and
dosage of high range water reducing admixture.
E When placing wet-mix sprayed concrete in a dense stream, a spread of AM (spread) = 600 mm ±
ru
cu
50 mm is favourable.
CG
When placing wet-mix concrete in a thin stream, a spread of AM = 650 ± 50 mm is desirable.
Limits for the processing have to be defined within the initial test.
O
X If a longer workability time (VV) is agreed according to ÖNORM B 4710-1, It. 4.2.6 and It. 5.4.9.,
maintenance of the required consistency is checked at the end of placing.
Consistency classes are of no relevancefor dry-mix sprayed concrete.

7.3 Strength of young sprayed concrete (early strength classes)
g Fresh sprayed concrete is defined as sprayed concrete not older than 24 hours.
If the fresh concrete has to meet certain requirements in terms of strength development, these are
1/1 specified according to early strength classes J3 , J2, J3 (see Figure 7-1).
5 An adequate development of strength during the firstfew minutes is a precondition for overhead
u placing (strength after 2 minutes 0.1 - 0.2 MPa). Test according to It. 12.4.1.
N The development of strength during the firstfew minutes also has a major influence on the extent
"5 of dust formation and rebound. If strength builds up too fast, the sprayed concrete will harden
§ instantly after being shot onto the receiving surface, which prevents proper embedding of the
g coarse-grainedparticles of the subsequent shot. Hence, to keep dust formation and rebound within
acceptable limits, the strength measured after 2 minutes under normal conditions should not
exceed 0.2 MPa.

utilisation of the fresh sprayed concrete. Examinations have shown that a linear creep behaviour
is to be expected in young sprayed concrete with a degree of utilisation of up to 40 "%>, whereas a
strongly progressive creep behaviour with a disruptive effect on the concrete texture is to be
expected at a degree of utilisation of more than 80 % [9].
For reasons of increased dust formation and rebound, ./, sprayed concrete should only be
specified under special circumstances (e.g. strong ingress of water, load-bearing requirements,
fast rate of advance).
7.4 Strength classes
Compressive strength is specified according to ÖNORM EN 206. Strength testing is performed

after not more than 28 days (or later at an agreed point in time, e.g. after 56 or 90 days, to be
indicated in brackets after the strength class) on drilled cores from sprayed concrete structures
according to ÖNORM EN 12504-1 or, subject to special agreement and for preconstruction
testing, from test panels according to ÖNORM EN 14488-1.

certain points in time, e.g. strength after 24 hours or after 3 days.
7.5 Sprayed concrete with special properties (exposure classes)
The special requirements refer to the material properties of the concrete, but not to the properties
of the structure. The special properties only have to be demonstrated in the sprayed concrete
texture.
For sprayed concrete with special properties, without exposition classes XO, XC1-XC3, only
mineral aggregates class Fl according to ÖNORM 12620 may be used. The sprayed concrete must
correspond at least to strength class SpC 20/25.
Without different definition in chapter 7.5 ÖNORM B 4710-1, NAD 10 is to be used for detection
of exposition classes.
In general:
• a w/b value of 0.50 is assumed for dry shotcrete without testing,
• use of binders specified under Item 4. 1 of this Guideline is permitted,
• the mix-composition is determined in the mix (base mix), the air content normally assumed to
be 3%.
7.5.1 Shotcrete with high resistance to water penetration (XC 3/XC 4)
Remark: XC 1and XC 2 are used in Austria for corrosion induced by carbonation, XC 3 and
XC3 are used to specify resistance to water ingress
Conformity of exposition class XC3 with a penetration depth < 50mm or XC4, differently to
ÖNORM B 4710-1, with penetration depth < 35mm has to be performed in hardened concrete
(drilled core) according to Item 12.5.5 according to ONR 23303.

E
™ basis of the reduction of the static modulus of elasticity, which must not exceed 25% after 56

through class XC 4 (penetration depth <35 mm). For applications subject to moderate solvent
attack (XA2L), non-carbonated mineral aggregates with a C02 content < 15% must be used for the
grain size fraction < 4 mm (except in cases of solvent attack in which renewal of the attacking
liquid is insignificant to nil; mineral aggregates containing limestone or dolomite have to be used
in such cases to neutralise the attacking liquid). Sprayed concrete has to meet the requirements at
least of SpC II.
Applications subject to strong solvent attack (XA3L) require special measures. As a rule, sprayed
concrete must not be used as a permanent support measure for such applications.

8 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
Given the method by which sprayed concrete is worked and placed, special requirements have to
be met in terms of structural design to ensure the required quality of execution.
8.1 Fundamental requirements
• In terms of structural design, preference should be given - as far as possible - to increased

sprayed concrete thickness instead of additional reinforcement.
• Joints in the sprayed concrete lining should be reduced to the absolute minimum and, if
possible, located outside areas of flexural loading.
• Sprayed concrete SpC III should be designed to a minimum thickness of 10 cm (except for
structural reinforcement and repair works).
• In the case of longitudinal construction joints, the use of formwork is recommended, with due
consideration given to the possible transmission of shear forces.
• In case of double-layered reinforcement, by planning have to be taken that the second layer is
to be placed after first layer has been embedded with sprayed concrete.
8.2 Reinforcement
Reinforcing bars have to comply the requirements of ÖNORM B 4200-7. For the execution
ÖNORM EN 13670 applies. The choice of a ductility classes has to be made project specific.
For initial support and for temporary slope support reinforcing steel mesh with a mesh width
of > 100 mm and a diameter of no more than 10 mm is to be used.
Secondary reinforcing bars required for static reasons are to be placed, if possible, in eveiy
other field of the steel mesh only (e.g. mesh width 150/150 mm - min, distance = 30 cm).
O
As a rule, the diameter of secondary reinforcing bars should not exceed 14 mm.
fM
Concrete cover: The minimum concrete cover must be observed in every location. In planning,
a nominal dimension of the concrete cover enlarged by the offset must be planned; for frost
E and de-icing salt loads and/or increased fire protection, special determinations must be made.
ru
In tunnelling and for slope reinforcements, the requirements of Table 8-1 apply; for permanent
QJ
CQ inner shells, RVS 09.01.44 must be observed additionally. The roughness of the surface must
be taken into account when measuring the concrete cover.

9 SINGLE-SHELL TUNNELING METHOD
9.1 Definition, prerequisites, execution variants
The single-shell construction method is characterised by the fact that all static and structural
requirements are fulfilled by a single shell structure, which also can consist of several layers which
work as a monolithic shell. This shell can be produced in one or several (multi-layered) operations.
The shell structure has to be designed not only to meet the need for support during tunnel driving,
but also to fulfil the requirements of the finished structure. If the sprayed concrete shell fulfils a
support function during tunnel driving and is to be subsequently strengthened by another sprayed
concrete layer or cast in-situ concrete, the structural effectiveness of the composite structure has to
be guaranteed through shear bonding.
If single-shell structures are made exclusively from sprayed concrete, local water penetration due
to cracks, construction joints and defects cannot be excluded; hence, this method is best suited to
areas with little or no water ingress, ground that has been sealed by pre-injection and/or the
possibility of sufficient drainage.
If there is an ingress of water, the amount of water leakage pennissible should be established
before deciding in favour of or against a single-shell structure. Possible measures, for injection or
of water drainage and, if necessary, subsequent sealing, should also be considered.
In order to minimise crack formation and to keep the amount of reinforcement low throughout the
structure, the bending stress on the tunnel shell should be as low as possible. Under appropriate
geological conditions, this can be achieved through an adequate geometry of the tunnel cross
section and in case of structurally favourable loading behaviour (symmetrical loading).
Form of execution
Basically, there are two variants based on the exclusive use of sprayed concrete.
• Single-layer sprayed concrete (one pass)
The sprayed concrete tunnel shell is placed in the course of tunnel driving, its thickness and
reinforcement being sufficient to meet the requirements of both tunnelling and the finished
state of the structure.
Example: 25 cm sprayed concrete shell applied in the course of tunnel driving, with an outer
(facing the rock) and inner (facing the tunnel clearance) layer ofreinforcement.
• Sprayed concrete shell fonned by a composite multi-layered structure
The outer sprayed concrete layer is applied during tunnel driving as a support for tunnelling.
ÿo
x In a subsequent operation, one or more additional sprayed concrete layers are applied to
achieve the shell thickness required for the finished state in static and structural terms, with
shear bonding between the sprayed concrete layers being ensured by adequate measures (see
Item 9.3).
The use of fibre-reinforced sprayed concrete is preferable for the inner layer, as a higher
density of the concrete may be achieved when steel bar or mesh reinforcement is eliminated.
Application of a sprayable waterproofing membrane, capable of bridging cracks to a limited
extent, is also possible.
Example: Outer layer of sprayed concrete shell, min. 15 cm, applied on a reinforcement
E mesh, with due consideration given to rock support by means of anchors, arches,
etc., in the course of tunnel driving. After tunnelling, the second sprayed concrete
layer is applied to and bonded with the existing outer layer with as few
construction joints as possible, 15 cm thick, either with another reinforcement
mesh or madefromfibre-reinforced sprayed concrete.

9.2 Sprayed concrete classes & design
Sprayed concrete class

Considering the requirements to be met by fresh sprayed concrete, the minimum strength class
required is SpC 25/30. As special properties, exposure class XC4 is essential. Further special
properties are set for each specific project (see Item 7.5).
Example of outer shell: SpC 25/30(56)/III/XC4/GK8/J, or J2
Example of inner shell: SpC 25/30(56)/III/XC4/XF3/HZl. 0/GK8
Structural design considerations
In addition to Item 8 of this Guideline, the following applies:
The structural safety of the sprayed concrete shell under all load conditions during construction
shall be ensured for single-shell structures in the same manner as for double-shell structures.
In the case of a multi-layer execution, the structural safety in its final state shall be ensured for the
composite structure, with due consideration given to load transfers between the layers. Checks for
stability of the structure under construction, in its final state and in borderline cases (in soil or soft
ground) can be performed, for instance, in accordance with the Guidelines for Traffic and Road
Engineering, RVS 09.01.42.
Bonding (shear bonding) between the sprayed concrete layers, ifproperly executed, is ensured by
their surface roughness. Shear strength and bond strength at joints have to be proven by
preconstruction testing.
In view of the desire to avoid inhomogeneities and/or defects in the sprayed concrete, the amount
of reinforcement used should be kept to a minimum; the reinforcement should be easy to place and
evenly distributed.
In order to avoid additional inhomogeneities in the inner sprayed concrete layer, shear
reinforcement should not be used. Reinforcement bars (mandrels, etc.) must not be allowed to
o penetrate the sprayed concrete shell to avoid the ingress of water.
fN
9.3 Notes on execution
E To ensure bonding of the sprayed concrete layers, the outer sprayed concrete layer has to be
ru
cleaned with a mixture of compressed air and water, before the inner sprayed concrete layer is
tS placed. If tensile bond strength is required, the substrate is usually pre-treated with high pressure
water jet.
H
X
The reinforcement is to be kept in the required position through adequate measures, with overlaps
of reinforcing mesh being arranged in such a way as to avoid the superposition of four mesh
layers.
ro
in
Breaking of construction joints in the individual sprayed concrete layers is essential.
After completion of the sprayed concrete shell, a thin smoothing layer may be required in view of
the use of the tunnel and/or as an additional seal against the ingress of water.
Single-layer sprayed concrete shells have to be executed with special care. Hence, appropriate
instruction of the construction-site staff and intensive construction supervision and quality control
are essential.

10 SPECIAL PROCEDURES
10.1 Sprayed concrete under compressed air
Sprayed concrete under compressed air [10] differs from sprayed concrete under atmospheric
conditions in the risk of flow through the sprayed concrete with air. Moreover, the higher
temperature and humidity should be noted in application area.
Impact on quality
The equipment set-up and the organisation of mix delivery under compressed air from the lock
to the nozzle has to be such as to keep the exposure of the dry mix to compressed air as short
as possible.
The more permeable the subjacent rock and the higher the pressure above atmospheric, the
more easily will the sprayed concrete be permeated by compressed air.
As a result of air permeation, the sprayed concrete loses moisture immediately after placing,
which in turn leads to rapid drying and early shrinkage. Therefore, if sprayed concrete is to be
placed on highly air-permeable soil or soft ground, the quality of the sprayed concrete (e.g.
strength) will presumably be lower than that of sprayed concrete placed under atmospheric
conditions as a result of fast drying and removal of fines. This is true, above all, of fresh
sprayed concrete.
If the substrate is largely impermeable, the climate in the working chamber (high humidity)
has a favourable influence on sprayed concrete quality.
• Additional measures
Repeated moistening of the fresh sprayed concrete (curing by spraying of water).
Use of suitable additions to increase the density of the sprayed concrete texture.
Application of a sealing coat (sealing mortar) on the sprayed concrete surface as soon as
O
fM
possible after placing.
f! The latter measures also help to diminish the total loss of air in the pressurised section.
m
ÿ
• Air pressure fluctuations
™ Air pressure fluctuations (due to normal tunnel driving or special incidents) have no particular
CD
CQ
influence on the build-up of strength in fresh sprayed concrete and subsequent strength
development, provided the pressure does not drop below 0.6 bar.
£ 10.2 Fibre-reinforced sprayed concrete
Steel fibres according ÖNORM EN 14889-1or polymer fibres according ÖNORM EN 14889-2
can be used for the production of fibre sprayed concrete. It is important to note, however, that use
CU
in of such fibres requires a different working method. ÖVBB Guideline "fiber reinforced concrete" is
CD
-Q to be observed.
The amount of fibres contained in the placed sprayed concrete is lower than in the base mix.
Therefore, the fibre content has to be checked at regular intervals (see Item 12.3.5 or 12.5.10). The
o maximum grain size of the mineral aggregate should not exceed 8 mm.
LO

To ensure the necessary bonding of the fibres to the matrix, the strength class must not be less than

An "overlap" of fibres at construction joints is not possible. It is therefore necessary to determine

the location of construction joints already in the planning stage and to provide for additional
overlapping reinforcement.
10.2.1 Steel-fibre reinforced sprayed concrete
• Applications and functions

Steel-fibre reinforced sprayed concrete contains, in basic mix, at least 30 kg of steel fibres per
m3 fibres are added to obtain special properties in both fresh and hardened concrete.
The following sprayed concrete properties can be influenced through the addition of steel
fibres:
Improvement of post-crack properties or energy absorption capacity (Items 7.5.7.2 to
7.5.7.4).
Reduction of the early shrinkage formation (Item 7.5.7.6)
replacement for reinforcement for thin and/or irregular sprayed concrete layers at not
constructive reinforced components.
improved homogeneity through the avoidance of voids due to the omittance of
reinforcement (e.g. single-shell construction).
• Production of the mix
The steel fibres need to be straightened out before being added to the mix. Collated fibres
require contact with moisture to dissolve the bonding.
Steel fibres can be added to the mix in the mixing plant, the truck mixer or on the conveyor
belt upstream of the shotcreting gun. By means of a suitable batching device, steels fibres can
be fed into the shotcreting machine or directly into the delivery stream in a well-targeted and
controlled manner.
• Requirements to be met by steel-fibre reinforced sprayed concrete
An essential property of steel-fibre reinforced sprayed concrete is its increased toughness.
Toughness is determined through classification according to flexural tensile strength BZ and
post-cracking behaviour into the classes T1 to T5, TS and/or Gl to G5, GS, tested on the
E

10.2.2 Polymer-fibre reinforced sprayed concrete
• Applications and functions

Added to the polymer fibre sprayed concrete are suitable polymer fibres with a minimum
dosage in the base mix of 1.5 kg/m3 or 4.0 kg/m3 (macro fibres) to achieve special properties.
ro By adding polymer fibres, the following properties of the sprayed concrete can be influenced:
in
Improvement of the fire resistance (Item 7.5.7.5)
Improvement of post-crack properties or energy absorption capacity (items 7.5.7.2 to
7.5.7.4).
Reduction of the early shrinkage crack formation (Item 7.5.7.6)
• Production of the mix
Adding to the humid mix is only possible at the mixing plant. For micro fibres, an extended
mixing time must be observed.
• Requirements to be met by polymer fibre reinforced sprayed concrete
A key property of the polymer fibre sprayed concrete with macro fibres is its increased energy
g absoiption capacity. The energy absorption capacity is determined by the classification in
flexural tensile strength classes BZ and post-cracking behaviour classes T1 to T5, TS or Gl to
G5, GS, verified by the beam test or in energy absorption classes EV500 to EV1000, verified

by the plate test. The creep characteristics and the durability of sprayed concrete with polymer
macro fibres must be taken into account in accordance with the ÖVBB guideline Fibre
reinforced concrete. The main properties of polymer fibre reinforced sprayed concrete with
micro fibres are the increase of fire resistance (classification in fibre concrete class BBG) and
reduction of the early shrinkage crack formation (fibre concrete class FS).

11 SPECIFICATIONS AND TESTING
The specifications for sprayed concrete production refer either to designed concrete approach
(specification of properties by the author, e.g. design engineer, as a rule), to prescribed concrete, or
to standardized prescribed concrete (standardized prescribed concrete, Item 5.2).
Requirements and conformity control in the context of the sprayed concrete production must be
defined according to Table 13-1 and Table 13-2. These specifications and quality control measures
consist of:
• Assignment to sprayed concrete classes
• Specification of properties
• Preconstruction test
• Production control and inspection, including conformity tests (constituent materials, mix)
• Additional conformity tests of the mix to be performed by the sprayed concrete user, if not
identical with concrete manufacturer
• Identity test
• „Certification" of production control
• Measures to be taken in the event of non-compliance with conformity criteria
Production control and inspection of sprayed concrete consists of testing the constituent materials,
the mix, the sprayed concrete, and the equipment for the production and intermediate storage of
the mix.
If tests are subsequently carried out by a non-accredited testing body, the laboratories dealing with
the tests must prove that they have experience with sprayed concrete tests. The test devices used
must be subjected to a regular calibration and this must be documented.
The constituent materials have to be subjected to both self-inspection and external inspection.
The preconstruction test is carried out in the following steps:
• Verification of the suitability of constituent materials (see Item 11.1.1)
• Verification of the suitability of the mixing and dosage device (see Item 11.4)
j= • Verification of the mix (see Item 11.1.2)
• Verification of sprayed concrete (see Item 11.1.3)
For mix and sprayed concrete conformity and identity testing have be carried out.
The frequency of conformity testing (monitoring categories according Table 11-2 to Table 11-4)
depends on the spray concrete class (Table 7-1), which is defined in the Sprayed concrete grades
(for examples, see Item 7.6).
The identity test is performed on behalf of the owner/client by an accredited inspection body;
testing for sprayed concrete thickness and early strength is performed by an experienced
representative of the owner/client.
The manufacturer and the user have to agree in unmistakable terms on who is to perform which
tests. If the manufacturer and the user are identical, double testing is not required. The scope of
testing according to Tables 11 is to be observed.
Sprayed concrete tests in tables 11, for which the designation "where required" or "(x)" is stated,
must be carried out when the special property is required in the sprayed concrete grades or is
N required separately (e.g. in the construction contract).
11.1 Preconstruction test
c
o
g The testing laboratory in charge must create a test report on the initial test of the constituent
ÿ materials, the mix and the sprayed concrete as well as on the verification of the mixing and dosage
g devices. The scope of the tests can be found in the following items 11.1.1 to 11.1.3 and 11.4.

For sprayed concrete, which is used as initial lining in tunnelling, additional tests regarding the
properties of the constituent materials and their interaction at the time of the preconstruction test
are required.
The execution of the preconstruction test must be clear taking into account the properties of the
constituent materials, the composition and the production of the concrete, the sample preperation
and the sample transport as well as the test. A representative of the accredited testing body must be
present during the preconstruction test of the sprayed concrete. The tests of hardened sprayed
concrete must be carried out by an accredited testing body. An overall report must be created on
the preconstruction test, which must be verified for plausibility by an accredited testing and
inspection body experienced with sprayed concrete.
An overall report must be created by the testing body in charge, which must contain the following:
Suitability verifications of the constituent materials
Test of the constituent materials as well as their combination

11.1.3 Test of the sprayed concrete

Laboratory tests provide a good guide on the behaviour on the site, but cannot include all site
impacts and can therefore not replace the preconstruction test with the final site equipment.
The effectiveness of the concrete admixtures and their intercompatibility (in the event of several
admixtures ) must be verified in the preconstruction test of the sprayed concrete.
During the preconstruction test of sprayed concrete with extended processing time (VV), the early
strength development of an immediately sprayed mix and a mix sprayed at the end of the planned
processing time must be tested. The consistency of the mix at the end of the planned processing
time must be verified.
When using accelerator (EB) together with the mix FM-L, preliminary tests are required to
determine the sprayed concrete composition (required dosage of binder and accelerator (EB)) (at
least two mixes) with different binder content and the accordingly changed admixture dosage.
When using wet mix, at least two dosages must be tested per accelerator. The two dosages
represent the thresholds of the application range. The total test scope must be carried out with the
higher dosage. Only the early strength can be verified with the lower dosage.
After completing the preliminary tests and selection of a mix composition, an preconstruction test
must be carried out, during which all properties of the young sprayed concrete and sprayed
concrete are proven for the design (Table 11-5 to Table 11-8). The preconstruction test must be
carried out under the relevant site conditions and with the planned constituent materials. The
assessment is carried out in steps on the existence of individual test results.
The dosage of the accelerator and the mix design is to be calculated for a theoretical air void
content of the sprayed mix of 3.0 %.
For sprayed concrete with a set strength class, a sufficient offset must be observed (guide value: 25
% of the characteristic strength of the corresponding strength class, but no less than 6 N/mm2). For
the offsets of the other test values, a 20 % offset must be observed.
O Key changes to the constituent sprayed concrete materials (manufacturer change of the binder,
™ admixture additions, binder content of more than + 20 kg/m3, -10 kg/m3) in the sprayed concrete
J"; mix design require a new preconstruction test for the relevant parameters taking into account the
E
existing tests.
ru
For standardized prescribed sprayed concrete up to the strength class of SpC 12/15, an
cu preconstruction test is not required.

product manufacturer. Test scope and frequency of the tests see Table 11-2 to Table 11-4. The test
of cement without external inspection in accordance with ÖNORM B 3327-1 must be carried out
in accordance with Item 4.1.1. For identification verifications of accelerators, the initial set must

tests at the place of installation (spraying machine). Test scope and frequency see Table 11-5 to
Table 11-8.
11.2.3 Sprayed concrete

Conformity testing in the course of execution of the structure serves to demonstrate that the
sprayed concrete composition is such as to guarantee the required properties at the specified age of
28 (or 56) days, assuming proper production, curing and storage according to It. 12.5.1. The
specified testing age may be exceeded by a maximum of 10 %. The testing frequency is specified
in Table 1 1-5 to Table 1 1-8.
If the results of conformity testing are inadequate, performance of a second test on twice the
original number of samples from the same test batch and/or a theoretical calculation according to
Annex 5 is permissible. The conformity criteria for compressive strength are summarised in Table
7/2, and for other properties in Table 1 1-9.

11.3 Identity testing
The identity verification must be carried out by an accredited testing body. The manufacturer
and user must be informed of the carrying out of an identity verification in good time (at least
one hour before test start).
In the event of a negative result of the identity verification for fresh concrete parameters and
early strength development, a verification of the measurement values, the quality assurance
system and any change to the recipe and production must be made.
In the event of a negative result of the strength class and of special properties, the results of the
conformity test of this property are regarded as not verified within the period until the last
identity verification. Verification of the structure samples (core) for the relevant area must
therefore take place. As the assessment of the sprayed concrete is carried out on the basis of
statically calculated values, randomly distributed cores must be taken from the relevant test
batch. If this also provides no positive verification, an expert planner must assess the effects and
determine the measures required.
11.3.1 Constituent materials
No identity verifications are planned by standard. In special events, identity verifications must be
carried out as required.
11.3.2 Mix
The identity verifications of the mix must be carried out in accordance with Table 11-5 to Table
11-8. In the event of negative results of the mix test, a repeat test must be carried out on the new
batch (this does not apply for the verification of the cube compression strength).

12 TESTING PROCEDURES
The testing methods outlined below are laboratory and building-site tests which provide an
indication of the behaviour of spray cement and the interaction of binders and accelerators in
sprayed concrete production.
To ensure due consideration of building-site influences, adjustments have to be made to local
conditions (e.g. temperature, effectiveness of mixing, material flow, type and condition of
substrate). The use of special testing methods, optimised for certain procedures or products, if
necessary may be agreed upon between the parties concerned.
12.1 Constituent materials for sprayed concrete
The constituent materials to be used for sprayed concrete production have to be subjected to a
preconstruction test (see Table 11-1) to establish the properties essential for sprayed concrete
production, well before the beginning of building-site operation.
Also recommended is examination of early strength development and strength development in
laboratory tests according 12.2. This applies, in particular, to binders (cement, spray cement) and
materials to be added (additions, admixtures), possibly also to mineral aggregates and water.
12.1.1 Sampling of sprayed concrete constituent materials
Samples of constituent materials are taken for the verification of material properties. Depending on
individual arrangements, these tests are either carried out continuously for identification tests or at
a later point in time, when necessaiy, on the basis of retained samples with observing limited
storage times depending on product and manufacturers.
Availability of samples in sufficient quantities and of a quality as delivered and/or used for
working has to be ensured. The product-specific regulations in accordance with Table 12-1 for the
sampling must be observed.

The determination is carried out through complex metric titration using titriplex III and
xylenolorange as indicators, as a rule.
Conducting the test:
it
1 ml sample is diluted with double distilled water to 100 ml. This solution is briefly boiled with
50 ml 0.1 m (molar) titriplex III solution and 2 ml 1 n (normal) hydrochloric acid and held over the
boiling water for ten minutes. After cooling down, sodium acetate is used to establish a pH value
of about 5 to 6 and after adding xylenolorange indicator rubber separation with 0.1 m of zinc
sulphate solution titrated to the sharp switch from yellow to red.
Xylenolorange indicator internal rubber: 1g Xylenolorange
Potassium nitrate
99 g
In the same way, a comparison sample is titrated to check the titration solution.

This method of establishing the setting time of the binder/accelerator combination or the spray
cement is modelled on the test provided for in ÖNORM EN 196-3. At a given water-binder
ratio, the beginning and end of setting are established for a given binder/accelerator
combination or spray cement.
• Instructions for testing
a. Laboratory temperature +20 °C ± 2 °C. Temperature of binder (spray cement) and water:
+20 °C ± 2 °C, in special cases +8 °C + 2 °C.
b. Prepare 250 g binder (spray cement) and water.

(Normal values: spray cement: w / b = 0.35
accelerator-binder combinations: w/b = 0.45)
Note: don't use the k-value approach for sample weight and w/b
c. Add liquid accelerator to water, normally at a rate of 3 - 5 wt.% of binder. The moisture
content of the accelerator is counted to the water quantity added.
d. When using powder accelerators, pre-mix thoroughly with binder.
e. Fill the dry components into a conical hard-rubber ring (h = 40 mm, dui = 65 mm,
d0i = 74 mm) placed on a glass or plastic plate and topped with a cylindrical structure (ring)
(h > 62 mm).
f. Form a dent in the binder.
g. Quickly add the liquid components and mix the binder/accelerator paste or spray cement
paste thoroughly within 15 seconds by means of a spatula or, preferably, an automatic
stirring device (see Fig. 12/1) adapted to the shape of the "pot". After mixing, compact the
paste by repeated jolting. Remove the ring and level the paste by means of the spatula. These
operations have to be completed within 25 seconds after the initial addition of water or - in
the case of wet-mix shotcreting - the addition of accelerator. If the binder paste is not easily
o
(N
workable, repeat the trial with a lower dose. The ring is not to be placed in a water bath.
h. Use Vicat needle apparatus to determine the beginning and end of setting. Calculate the
times from the first addition of water. The initial set is defined as the point in time when the
E
ru needle remains stuck in the paste at 3 to 5 mm above the plate (glass or plastic plate); the
CD
CG
final set is defined as the point in time when the needle penetrates no more than 1 mm into
the paste.

basis of the spray cement characteristics and/or the binder/accelerator combination used. A
combination of different methods is possible.
• Laboratory testing for compressive strength development on cylindrical samples according to
It. 12.2.2.1.
The strength development of spray cement as well as binder/accelerator combinations is
established through tests performed on cylindrical samples, 60 mm in diameter, 60 mm high,
prepared and stored in accordance with It. 12.2.2.1.
At least class 2 test presses according to ÖNORM EN ISO 7500-1 are permissible for
compressive strength testing. Class 3 presses are permissible for the measuring range from 1 to
4 kN (determination of one-hour strength). Using a Strain cylinder test machines according
DIN 51302-2 is recommended.
Compressive strength testing is performed on 3 samples each after 1, 6 and 24 hours
(evaluation of spray cement with regard to early strength) and after 28 days. Compressive
strength is expressed as a mean value to an accuracy of 0.1 N/mm2. Individual values deviating

The sample taking of wet mix is carried out in accordance with ÖNORM EN 12350-1.
12.3.2 Test of the dry mix (DM)
The evenness of the dry and wet mix is assessed optically. In doing so, ensure an even distribution
of the coarse grain. The assessment must be carried out in relation to the grain distribution at the
levels of "too fine" and "too coarse".
To assess the evenness of the dry mix (e.g. premixed mix), the following parameters can be used
additionally:
• Mean density ( ÖNORM EN 1097-3, better ÖNORM EN 459-2)
• Grain composition up to 0.125 mm complete, with wet grading on the basis of
ÖNORM EN 933-1 . As rinsing liquid, spirit must be used in the washing out process.
• Binding agent in the dry mix
For the determination, a clarification on the procedure used is required (e.g. chemical
determination via trace elements).
The binding agent content can be determined as a maximum at ± 10 kg/to of TM
12.3.3 Assessment of workability time of moist mix (FM)

The workability time of moist mix depends on the cement grade, the temperature and the natural
moisture of the mineral aggregates. To assess the workability time, the temperature development
of a moist mixture is measured in analogy to ONR 23303, It.7.9 (Figure 12-2). Test has to be
performed on actually occurring moisture in moist mix.

Figure 12-4 Calibration curve for penetration needle device
c) Calibration
In the event of deviating maximum grain size, non-calcite or dolomite petrography as well as
recipes deviating from the suggestions of this directive, a project-specific regression curve is
required.
Non-accelerated sprayed concrete base mixes are used for the calibration, for the recipe of
which the rebound losses are taken into account (higher binding agent content, finer grading
curve). The mix is placed into the test moulds, compacted and stored protected from
evaporation. On cubes (or cylinder samples) the compression strengths are detennined after
certain periods in accordance with the valid regulations (for the calibration (Fig. 12/4)
sample cubes of 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm and plates 30 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm were produced).
Removal of the specimen formwork is done shortly before the test. To this end, suitable test
machines must be used for this low load area. At separately produced plates with
approximately the same volume but a thickness of 10 cm, the tests are carried out with the
penetration procedure in accordance with the relevant test regulation. The temperature
development in the cubes and plates should correspond inasmuch possible in order to test the
samples at the same hydration level, possibly at the same maturity number. The plates
remain in the form during the test and must be supported firmly. The test must be carried out
promptly with the reference cube tests. With the results of both tests, the linear regression
calculation of a calibration graph is created. The correlation coefficient should be R > 0.85.
Extrapolations via the curve are not permissible.

least 20 mm into the young concrete. E.g. a HILTI DX 450-SCT (same as L) piston tool
equipment unit with green cartridges is used to drive the stud-bolts into the concrete (see Annex 3,
Sheets 1 and 2). Setting power of this equipment is E = 96 ± 8 Joule with L140 piston guide and
pin diameter 3.7 mm.
The pull-out force (maximum force) is determined by means of a pull-out device (e.g. Hilti Tester
4 (note calibration of this device) or Hilti Mark 5 with a precision in accordance with ÖNORM EN
14488-2 of < 5%). The procedure has been calibrated for commonly used sprayed concrete in
tunnel grades (Fig. 12 / 5, for maximum aggregate size of 16 mm and for Diabase in ÖNORM EN
14488-2). In case of deviations - particularly as regards Mohs' hardness of aggregates - calibration
has to be performed according to It. 12.4.I.e.

Cores can be taken from these panels, though not from near the bottom edge (rebound), provided
the strength of the concrete is sufficient for core drilling (at least 10 N/mm2). Prior to sampling, the
panels should remain undisturbed in a humid atmosphere at a temperature of between +5°C and
+25°C. Panels have not to be moved for a period of 18 hours, or until evidence of a compressive
strength of at least 2.0 N / mm2.
Test cores from separately prepared specimens (sprayed panels) for preconstruction and
conformity testing have to be drilled not later than 5 days after shotcreting. Cores have to be
drilled in time and as close to the intended time of testing as possible. As a rule, the direction of
drilling is the same as the direction of spraying.
Cores from the building can be also taken at a later date.
Testing for water impermeability (XC3/XC4) and frost resistance (XF3) is performed after 56
days.
12.5.2 Testing for compressive strength
Compressive strength testing is performed according to ONR 23303, It. 8.2. Contrary to the
provisions of the standard, five samples have to be tested and combined into a single result. For
sprayed concrete testing, individual values deviating from the mean by more than 20 % are not
considered for averaging. At least three useful samples are required for averaging.
In the case of sprayed concrete (sprayed mortar) with a maximum grain size of < 4 mm, cores with

through wet drilling. The cores thus obtained are to be stored dry and at room temperature until
testing.
The test specimen is to be placed in a leaching vessel and eluted in a leaching agent, which is
continuously agitated by a magnetic stirrer (rate of agitation = 200 to 300 rev/min), for 24 hours.
The eluant used is de-ionised water, the mass ratio of test specimen to eluant being 1:10, with the
test specimen completely wetted. The leachate is to be examined for the following parameters: pH
value, electric conductivity, calcium, potassium, sodium and aluminium.
12.5.14 Reduced leaching behaviour (RV)
Remark: See more detailed description in the ÖBV Bulletin „Festlegung des Reduzierten
Versinterungspotentials July 2012
For the leaching test, 2 cores with a diameter of 50 mm must be taken from sprayed panels
produced at an age of 49 days. The cores must then be sealed in plastic bags and stored. The test
body dimensions are 50 mm in diameter, 100 mm in sample height.
Test start at the age of 56 days.
The leaching tests are carried out at an E/F ratio of 4.0.
• E ... leaching agent quantity in kg - eluant (deionised water)
• F ... solid material mass core sprayed concrete in kg
The leaching in enclosed containers (prevention of carbonation of the dissolved calcium
hydroxide) is carried out in 3 intervals (cycles). For every interval, a fresh leaching agent must be
used. The leaching attempts take place at a temperature of 20 °C ± 2 °C:
• 1st cycle: 24 h storage
• 2nd cycle: 48 h storeage
• 3rd cycle: 5 d storeage
After ending every leaching interval, the eluate must be poured in such a way that any sediment
O
fM remains in the leaching container (permissible remaining water quantity maximum 100 ml).
The poured out eluate must be acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid to a pH value of 3 to
In 4. In acidified eluate, the calcium concentration is carried out.

12.6 Checks to be performed during sprayed concrete production
cv
-Q
12.6.1 Verification of dosages of powder and liquid accelerator and spray cement
The dosage of the accelerator and/or the spray cement has a decisive influence on the early and
g final strength of the sprayed concrete. Compliance with the dosages determined through
E preconstruction testing has to be verified continuously during shotcreting and is to be compared to
determine total consumption. Regular maintenance of the metering equipment has to be performed
_E and recorded in a protocol. In addition, the spraying output has to be determined according to
N
It. 12.6.2.
c
o
• Inspection of the metering equipment for powder accelerators
Basically, the correct dosages are verified through weighing. Attention has to be paid to
continuous, steady conveyance and, possibly, wear and tear of the metering equipment. Bridge

formation in the storage bin and strong fluctuations of filling levels are to be avoided. The
calibration intervals according to Table 11-11 have to be observed.
• Inspection of metering equipment for liquid accelerators
Dosage accuracy is checked through weighing of the accelerator bin before and after
shotcreting. If a flow meter is connected, accelerator consumption can be recorded
continuously over time. The values set at the metering pump have to be checked each time
before shotcreting is begun. The calibration intervals according to Table 11-11 have to be
observed.
• Inspection of metering equipment for spray cement SBM-FT (continuous mixing)
Calibration of dosages is performed through back-weighing over defined time intervals. Speed
and/or weighing protocols are kept to supplement the calibration test. The calibration intervals
according to Table 11-11 have to be observed.
• Inspection of metering equipment for mineral aggregates (continuous mixing)
A high degree of measuring accuracy is also required for moist mineral aggregates. Metering
can be gravity-based or volume-based. In the case of volume-based metering, possible changes
in bulk volume due to different degrees of aggregate moisture should be taken into
consideration. Hence, calibration is absolutely necessary. Any change of conditions requires
renewed determination of the moisture content. Back-weighing at regular intervals is to be
performed according to Table 11-11.
12.6.2 Determination of spraying output and rebound
Before the test is carried out, the spraying output needs to be accurately established, as it affects
the accuracy of rebound determination. The quantity of rebound is to be determined separately.
• Determination of spraying output
The total amount of sprayed concrete discharged from the nozzle during a certain period of
time (spraying time) is determined through weighing.

• Determination of rebound
O
A time-consuming, but accurate method consists in collecting the rebound on a tarp spread out
X
before shotcreting, storing it in a suitable container and weighing it. If the spraying time and
the rebound mass (converted into kg/h) are known, the percentage of rebound relative to the
initial mass can be calculated as follows:

ro/.i - Massrebound [kg / h]
sprayingoutput [kg / h]
For rebound measurements to be performed on a laboratory scale, sprayed concrete is applied

to wooden formwork prepared with a layer of sealing sprayed concrete (size of formwork
depending on weighing unit); the rebound is collected on a tarp and weighed. The concrete
mass is calculated by deducting the formwork mass from the (sprayed concrete + formwork)
ÿ mass. The rebound is obtained as

• Process parameters
The following factors have to be considered for rebound determination:
spraying output
process technology
conveying pressure
spraying angle and distance from substrate
sprayed concrete thickness
mix temperature
spraying time
water discharge and pressure at the nozzle
water-binder ratio
spraying nozzle cross section
location of substrate (benches, roof, entire round)
building-site or laboratory measurement
12.6.3 Measurement of fine dust concentration
Gravity-based dust measuring devices as well as light-scattering instruments are best suited to
determine the concentration of fine dust. For practical purposes, a simple and safe method
(preferably ÿith direct display of results without time lag) is recommended. Light-scattering
instruments meet these requirements. Conversion of the values displayed into fine-dust
concentrations obtained by gravity-based methods (e.g. PM 4F, VC 25, PAS, etc.) is possible by
approximation through c/lreadingTM = 1.1 for sprayed concrete and 1.5 for other activities (especially
in the case of a diesel-fuelled vehicle fleet). (Accurate measurements by the Austrian Dust Control
Body [4, 5]).
12.6.4 Sprayed concrete thickness
The sprayed concrete thickness is defined by the average thickness for each structural component.
E
The sprayed concrete thickness, so not different agreed, has to be determined each over 500 m2 (at
™ defined randomly distributed points) either during shotcreting on defined structural components or
through drilling according ÖNORM 14488-6.
The agreed minimum thickness tested according ÖNORM EN 14488-6, It. 4.1 may be undershoot
in one of the 5 holes by 10 %.

ANNEX 4 CONFORMITY CERTIFICATE - CALCULATION OF DESIGN

SPRAYED CONCRETE THICKNESS
Conformity testing - Establishment of design sprayed concrete thickness
If the required sprayed concrete strength class is not reached in the conformity test, the strength
class requirements may be changed accordingly, provided the sprayed concrete is of adequate
thickness.
Therefore, in areas in which the required sprayed concrete strength class is not reached, the design
thickness ("d") of the sprayed concrete may be increased by "d|" - clearance permitting -
according to the following equation:
F required sprayed concrete strength class in N/mm2

M measured sprayed concrete strength in N/mm2
d design sprayed concrete thickness in cm
d| additional sprayed concrete thickness in cm
ÿ If the sprayed concrete thickness cannot be increased for reasons of insufficient clearance, the
S sprayed concrete found to be inadequate has to be removed upon the principal's request and
f! replaced at the contractor's expense.
ro
f\l
™ If the design strength is not reached, the principal is entitled to claim a discount instead of

CQ
demanding an increase of the sprayed concrete thickness, with the unit price being reduced by 2%
for each percentage point by which the actual sprayed concrete strength falls short of the design
strength. The surface from which the drill core has been obtained is used as a basis for calculation
O
