Abstract:
Introduction
Fast curing rate and ability to reach adequate mechanical properties in few hours after application [1, 2, 3]
Discardable rebound amount and wastage during spraying process [2, 4, 5]
Wide displacement range (elongation ratio) [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Ease of application and fast application rate [2, 6, 8, 11, 12]
Smaller spraying equipment [6, 13, 14]
Less material handling with respect to other ground support products [6, 15, 16, 17]
Decrease in the operating costs [4, 5, 6, 11]
Thinner thicknesses of applied material with respect to other surface support systems [5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 15, 17]
