Continually escalating wood prices combined with the need for residential structures to perform under seismic events, hurricanes, and other natural events makes the use of shotcrete a financially appealing alternative. Shotcrete use in residential structures offers the designer a wide latitude architecturally as well as greatly increased capabilities structurally with respect to natural environmental loads.
