ABSTRACT
During the early days of 20th century, a new method of concrete construction was introduced, whereby it enabled the application of sprayed concrete the introduction of this new method of concrete construction had brought a tremendous advancement in the concrete construction industry. The application of the sprayed concrete has been a significant change in the construction of underground works, where rock support and other construction activities were carried out with less difficulty. This paper examines concrete, different method of applications, quality control for site tests, and other construction ethics that should shotcrete operations for any construction activities.Keywords: Shotcrete, Application, Civil Engineering Construction Projects
