  • Basaltic lava for producing green controlled low strength material (CLSM)
    Patent number: 12275674
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for a Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) including cementitious materials, water, and fine aggregate. The cementitious materials include powdered basaltic lava and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). In the composition, the basaltic lava replaces some of the ordinary Portland cement in the CLSM as compared to a conventional CLSM. The basaltic lava replaces 25% to 90% of the OPC in a conventional CLSM. The CLSM can be used as a compacted fill for structural and non-structural construction applications.

  • RECYCLED CONCRETE WASTE POWDER & AGGREGATES WITH HEAVY OIL FUEL ASH FOR PRODUCING A GREEN FLOWABLE BACKFILL MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20220348498
    Abstract: Compositions and methods of forming compositions for a controlled low strength material (CLSM) comprising heavy oil fuel ash (HOFA) and recycled concrete powder (RCP) waste with natural and recycled aggregates and water are provided. In some embodiments, small quantities of Portland cement are also utilized. The recycled concrete powder contains primarily calcite and quartz. The CLSM can be used as a flowable compacted fill in structural and non-structural construction applications.
