In one of the methods of constructing cantilevered soldier piles for excavation support, the (outer) face of the wall is covered with pressure -sprayed concrete, referred to as shotcrete. What type of reinforcement is used in this method and how does it get embedded into concrete? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
The concrete is sprayed under pressure over a welded wire reinforcement (WWR). Pressure spray allows the concrete to penetrate behind WWR so that it gets embedded within concrete.
