The grout-like material called flowable fill has experienced new popularity, particularly the controlled low-strength material variety, which is easily excavated. The properties ordinarily desired of the mix are: (a) flow under gravity; (b) hardening for early walkability and cover; and (c) ultimate strength low enough to allow ready excavation. Flowability of fresh material is evaluated in a simple spread test. Hardening is measured by a mortar penetrometer, and these values are correlated with unconfined compressive strength. It is desirable to keep the ultimate strength to less than 1 035 kPa (150 lbf/in.2); somewhat less target strength is selected for the 28-day value. Mix design is empirical, but the time and expense required may be reduced by following a rational and logical procedure, which is described. The materials emphasized in this paper are Class F coal combustion fly ash and waste sands from greensand ferrous castings.
