Fibre-reinforced shotcrete is the most common support method for hard rock tunnels in the Nordic countries. Data collected from the field shows that significant variations in shotcrete thickness and bond strength should be expected during the construction of a tunnel. However, how this affects the structural behaviour and capacity of the shotcrete lining is unknown. Therefore, this was the focus of a recently finalized research project at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, in which numerical simulations were used to study the structural behaviour of fibre-reinforced shotcrete in interaction with hard rock and rock bolts.
