From page 89...
... Compressive strength can serve as a useful surrogate value in some cases, but one should try to capture the long-term strength gain when applying strength as a predictive tool. Basing long-term strength gain on short-term laboratory testing can be problematic for some CLSM mixtures (especially those containing fly ash)

... 2. Other data and information from field performance of metals in CLSM should be gathered and synthesized to better quantify the service life in various environments.
