Abstract
The development of Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM), which is a highly flowable material, has been performed for the application of backfill. The objective of this study is to compare the compressive strength and compressive wave velocity of CLSM according to the curing time. To investigate the characteristics of the CLSM consisting of sand, silt, water, flyash, and CSA cement, uniaxial compression test and flow test were carried out. For the measurement of compressional waves, a cell and a couple of transducers were used. The test results show that the compressive strength increases with the curing time, while the increment of compressive strength decreases with the curing time. In addition, the compressive wave velocity increases with the curing time, and the correlation between the compressive wave velocity and compressive strength is similar to exponential function. This study suggests that the correlation between the compressive wave velocity and compressive strength may be effectively used for the estimation of compressive strength of the CLSM at early curing time.
