VIABILITY OF USING FLOWABLE FILL CONCRETE FOR BACK FILL IN THE ETHIOPIAN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

BERUK DEREJE GULILAT

Flowable Fill Concreet, Controlled low strength material (CLSM, )is a self-compacting, flowable, low
strength, cementitious material used primarily ask fbilal.c Flowable Fill Concret eis primarily used as
a replacement of compacted soairlo und pipes, bridge abutmentcsu, lverts and trenches; fill for
embankments, bedding for slabs and pipes; insulating fill; fill for caissons and piles; and fill for
abandonde storage tanks, shafts, and tunn els.

gives a solution for the above mentioned proble ms.
