With the development of infrastructure, there are growing numbers of high geothermal environments, which, therefore, form a serious threat to tunnel structures. However, research on the changes in mechanical properties of shotcrete under high temperatures and humid environments are insufficient. In this paper, the combination of various temperatures (20 °C/40 °C/60 °C) and 55% relative humidity is used to simulate the effect of environment on the strength and stress–strain curve of basalt fiber reinforced shotcrete. Moreover, a constitutive model of shotcrete considering the effect of fiber content and temperature is established. The results show that the early mechanical properties of BFRS are improved with the increase in curing temperature, while the compressive strength at a later age decreases slightly. The 1-day and 7-day compressive strength of shotcrete at 40 °C and 60 °C increased by 10.5%, 41.1% and 24.1%, 66.8%, respectively. The addition of basalt fiber can reduce the loss of later strength, especially for flexural strength, with a increase rate of 11.9% to 39.5%. In addition, the brittleness of shotcrete increases during high temperature curing, so more transverse cracks are observed in the failure mode, and the peak stress and peak strain decrease. The addition of basalt fiber can improve the ductility and plasticity of shotcrete and increase the peak strain of shotcrete. The constitutive model is in good agreement with the experimental results.
