The American Concrete Institute recently released an updated version of its popular “Shotcrete for the Craftsman” publication, one of the five titles available in the ACI Concrete Craftsman series. ACI’s “Shotcrete for the Craftsman” provides shotcrete nozzlemen with an understanding of basic concrete technology and describes and illustrates how to properly place quality shotcrete. This updated version of “Shotcrete for the Craftsman” features updated photographs, full-color figures, and a rearranged structure of the content highlighting the similarities and differences between concrete and shotcrete. ACI’s Shotcrete for the Craftsman serves as the source content for the ACI Shotcrete Nozzleman and Nozzleman-in-Training certification programs. “ACI’s Shotcrete Nozzleman Certification Committee (C660) felt that an updated workbook was necessary to meet the current standards,” stated Randle Emmrich, Chair, ACI Committee C660. “We also organized the publication in a way that would be easier to read with updated figures.” The information found in this publication combined with ACI 506.2, “Specification for Shotcrete,” and ACI 506R, “Guide to Shotcrete,” provides shotcrete professionals with a comprehensive set of resources. Additional titles in the ACI Concrete Craftsman series include: Concrete Fundamentals (English and Spanish) Slabs on Ground Supported Beams and Slabs Placing and Finishing Decorative Concrete Flatwork Visit concrete.org for additional information or to purchase the “Shotcrete for the Craftsman” publication in print or digital formats.
