Yes, shotcrete walls can crack during earthquakes due to the seismic stresses caused by the shaking. The cracks can range from hairline fractures to large breaks and may lead to partial or full collapse of the wall.

Yes, shotcrete walls can crack during earthquakes due to the seismic stresses caused by the shaking. The cracks can range from hairline fractures to large breaks and may lead to partial or full collapse of the wall. In addition, shotcrete walls may be subject to shear, spalling, and possible rebar corrosion if exposed to long-term vibrations or ground displacement.
To prevent structural damage and loss, it is important to use proper seismic design and construction techniques when building with shotcrete.
