Abstract:
Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) is a self-consolidating cementitious material used primarily as a backfill as an alternative to compacted fill. This report contains information on applications; materials; properties; proportioning; mixing, transporting, and placing; quality control; and low-density CLSM using preformed foam.
