Abstract:
Starting where the technical report on Controlled Low-Strength Materials (CLSM) prepared by ACI Committee 229 and published in 1994 leaves off, this summary provides updated information on technical developments, material properties, mix proportioning, and major recent construction projects. A discussion of the ASTM standards that monitor the consistency and quality of CLSM is outlined. Predictable engineering properties and labor saving features are making CLSM the best choice for numerous applications.
