Thank you so much!

what would be considered a good surface preparation for shotcrete? Same as poured concrete?

Thank you!

thanks for your input. but shouldn't the stairs at least be anchored to the walls in some way? Also, in my case, the stairs were shot once the shell was already dry... shouldn't it be done at the same time?

I don't have any drawings, but here are some photos of the placement of rebars and the construction (the stairs were shot when the shell was already dry, not sure if this is also normal or not, I thought it should be done at the same time), and one pic of the recently demolished stairs, showing...

I was wondering, are rebars typically needed for stairs in a shotcrete pool? Or are stairs built without rebars? This is a pool for one of my clients, and there was not rebars. Is this the norm?
