An Assessment of Eco-Friendly Controlled Low-Strength Material

AbstractThe present study aims to investigate the fresh and hardening properties of a soil-based controlled low-strength material (CLSM) containing stainless steel slag as a cementitious material. This type of CLSM primarily uses in construction as a trench-fill material. Four levels of the cement substitution (i.e. 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) and three amounts of binder content (80-, 100-, and 130kg/m3) were generated for the experimental work. Fresh and hardening properties of the recommended CLSM were examined in the laboratory. The results show that the proposed CLSM could be employed for eco- friendly trench fills
