The present work aims to analyse the durability parameters of the shotcrete, comparing the dry and wet projection systems, of the concrete resulting from the projection in plates and from the test specimens extracted from the tunnels structures of the North-South Railway, tract 01, in Anápolis-GO. This work considers an experimental research concerning the shotcrete behavior for dry-mix and wet-mix projection systems, by using testing indicators of the main durability parameters coming from national and international specifications. So, the experimental program involves a comparative assessment among the projection systems of current use in shotcrete, considering the comparative analysis between projected plates (control) and extracted test specimens from the tunnels on what refers to meeting the requirements related to durability. Therefore, the experimental program showed as independent variables: type of projection system (whether by means of dry-mix or wet-mix shotcrete) and the extraction of test specimen (from the control plates or from the tunnels structure). For each type of projection (dry-mix and wet-mix shotcrete), three plates were cast (normally used for concrete technological control) in conditions similar to the work-site, with the test specimens extraction been carried out according to pre-established ages. Eight test specimens were extracted from the just-builts tunnels generating thus samples to the durability associated tests, such as: capillary water absorption, immersion water absorption, concrete electric resistivity, water penetration under pressure, penetrability of chloride ions and concrete compressive strenght. Test specimens extracted from the tunnels and the from the plates were also submitted to testings of compressive strenght and mix-proportion reconstruction. The concrete extracted from tunnels showed worse results comparing to the parameters expected from the projected concrete requirements for road and rail tunnels, and it also demonstrated results which were inferior to the ones obtained from the plates. From a general assessment view, we could verify losses of durability properties of the shotcrete extracted from tunnels in reference to the projected plates.
