From page 1...
... CLSM, used in lieu of compacted fill in these applications, is a highly flowable material typically composed of water, cement, fine aggregates, and often times, fly ash or other by-product materials. This study, which included substantial laboratory and field components, demonstrated that CLSM is an effective and innovative material that can be used in each of the key target applications, with good short- and long-term performance.
