    TRIAL MIX PROCEDURE FOR SHOTCRETE

    SHOTCRETE

    A.1Materials
     Portland Cement Type 1P
     Potable Water
     S1 Sand

    A.2 Equipment & Tools


     Tamping Rod
     Spatula
     6”Ø x 12” cylinder mold
     Curing tank
     Measuring Pail
     Ponkee
     (0.3m x 0.3m x 0.3m) (0.027cu.m. or 1cu.foot)

    A.3 Design Mix Ratio

    For Shotcrete (1:3:20) (3000psi at 28 days)


     1 bag of Portland cement
     3 Ponkees of S1 sand
     20 liters of water

    A.4 Mixing and De-molding procedure:

    1. Prepare all materials needed, tools & equipment to use.

    2. Assemble the 6” diameter cylinder mold and place it on undisturbed area free from direct source of heat
    (Sunlight) and rain if ever.

    3. Commence mixing using Design Mix Ratio of 1:3:20 (Cement: Sand: Water). First, put the 3 ponkees of S1
    sand manually into the hopper followed by 1 bag of Portland cement right after the S1 sand. Wait for 1
    minute, and then put the 20 liters of water to complete the mixture, observe the mixture until such time
    that it mixed thoroughly.

    4. Discharge the mixture onto the mixing board and get sample.

    5. Get mixture from the board. Fill with concrete mixture one third of the cylinder mold. Distribute the
    strokes uniformly over the cross section of the molds individually using cement trowel and tamp it 25
    times using tamping rod.

    6. Add another one third concrete mixture on the cylinder mold and tamp it again 25 times. Add concrete
    mixture on the remaining of the cylinder molds. After each layer is rodded, tap the outside of the molds
    lightly 10 to 15 times, each layer of concrete mixture to close any hole left by rodding and to release the
    large air bubbles that may have trapped. Finish the top surface using spatula.

    7. Clean the area and wait for 24 hours curing time prior for de-molding of samples.

    8. De-mold samples manually and place it in the curing tank with clean water. Make sure all samples are
    submerged on water.

    9. Place on curing tank on areas where it cannot be disturbed.

    A.5. Testing Procedure

    Shotcrete trial mix will be tested prior to its final application. Twelve (12) samples in 6” Ø x 12” will be taken
    and shall be tested for 7, 14 and 28days (3 samples each) and 3 samples spare.

    The passing result shall be used for site application. It will also be the basis of design mixture for this project.
