RESUMO

The present work involves an experimental study with dry-mix shotcrete aiming at the behavior analysis, through indicative testing of the main durability parameters of national and international specifications. The research involves the use of four cement types especially formulated for use in shotcrete use in comparison with two other cements that are traditionally used in mix production for shotcrete spraying. The shotcrete mixtures were elaborated with cement consumptions of 300 kg/m³, 350 kg/m³, 400 kg/m³ and 450kg/m³. They were characterized initially, in the fresh state, in terms of stiffness tests, and later, cores were extracted to produce samples, in similar conditions and submitted to ordinary durability tests: Water Absorption, Volume of Voids, Specific Weight; Water Absorption by Capillarity; Chloride Migration; Electric Resistivity; Water Penetration under Pressure and Accelerated Carbonatation. As some of the tests are not destructive, some of the samples was used for compressive and tensile (Brazilian Test) strength determination, what also contributed to additional characterization of the material. In general, the results were very satisfactory and they fit to the specifications requirements. However, the shotcretes elaborated with special cements, formulated with finer gradation and metakaolin addition, presented a much better behavior in terms of durability indicators comparing to the shotcretes produced with conventional cements and cements formulated with accelerators, even when, relatively low consumption of cement was used. Despite not being the main focus of this work, it is worth mentioning the surprising results of the testing of mechanical resistance, obtained for the shotcretes elaborated with special cements formulated with finer gradation and metakaolin addition, which reached resistance values to the compression never observed, making it a promising material.
