Shotcrete and Waterstops
Shotcrete and Waterstops
(OP)
Anyone know of any documentation on the performance of shotcrete construction joints both using and not using waterstops of any kind? I am aware of shotcrete's exceptional bonding at those surfaces, and the lack of needing waterstops for that very reason, but without any documentaiton, its hard to sell the point. Any help?

but from what I gathered from reading though it, shotcrete is just concrete installed in a different way. If you would have needed waterstops if it was cast in place, then you would need waterstops for shotcrete.

In Section 6-3(5j), top left hand of page 6-8, it states "Due to the difficulty of placing shotcrete around waterstops, use of waterstops in shotcrete applications should be avoided"

The response to question 15 in link provided by structuralaggie suggests otherwise.
