Abstract
Understanding the early-age properties of fibre reinforced shotcrete (FRS) is critical to the accurate estimation of the time to safe re-entry under freshly sprayed FRS linings. Previous research in the field has indicated that shear failures dominate early-age load resistance and thereby govern the performance of a lining during the first few hours after spraying. This investigation has examined the influence of several geometric variables on shear resistance in a punching mode of failure. In particular, the research has addressed the influence of the size, shape, eccentricity, and inclination of punching loads on the apparent shear strength of an early-age fibre reinforced shotcrete (FRS) lining.
