It has also been possible to develop very high performance fibre shotcretes [77], comparable in performance to cast engineered cementitious composites (ECC). Though such materials require close control of the particle size distribution, and of the necessary chemical and mineral admixtures, the resulting materials exhibit proper pumpability and shootability in the fresh state, and strain-hardening behaviour in the hardened state, as shown in Figure 14.17.
