CLSM mixtures

This study investigates the performance of controlled low-strength material (CLSM) in the challenging Mekong Delta climate, which experiences rapid weather fluctuations, acid rain erosion, uneven mixture gradation, and subpar aggregate quality.

The experimental results show that the flow of all CLSM mixtures met high flowability requirements under ACI 229R. Using BA as fine aggregate reduced the fresh unit weight of CLSM but delayed the setting time. Moreover, CLSM mixtures could serve as a re-excavation and pavement subbase.

This paper deals with using stainless steel reducing slag (SSRS), a byproduct generated from stainless steel making process, as a cement substitute in production of soil-based controlled low-strength material (CLSM). In the CLSM mixture, surplus soil and river sand were blended well together with a sand-soil proportion of 6:4 by volume in order to produce fine aggregate. Totally, twelve mixtures were prepared for experiment when we changed in turn percentages of Portland cement replacement with SSRS of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight and the water-to-binder ratio of 3.4, 3.6, and 3.8.
