The purpose of the workshop is to present important technical information and review production and construction aspects for a new type of backfill material for trenches and other excavations, as well as for filling abandoned underground pipes, tunnels, etc. Flowable Slurry is a low-strength concrete-like material that is made from one or more of the materials such as coal ash, wood ash, used foundry sand, post-consumer crushed glass, concrete sand, water, and some portland cement. The strength of this material can vary from 50 psi to 1200 psi at the age of 28 days. Flowable slurry is being specified increasingly by municipalities, state highway departments, and engineers for many applications.
The workshop will present case histories of successful installations. It would include a demonstration of slurry production and placement. Handout materials will be provided. The workshop should be of interest to those associated with building design, engineers, architects, engineering technicians, engineers working in governmental agencies, industry and private practice, engineering faculty and students, as well as ready mixed concrete producers, aggregates suppliers, and contractors. Knowledgeable professionals engaged in specifying, approving, marketing, and using flowable slurry will present state-of-the-art information.
