Recently, coal ash is used as resources to make controlled low-strength material (CLSM) which a self-compacted, cementitious material used primarily as a backfill in lieu of compacted fill. Pozzolanic reaction is strongly related with self-cementation of coal ashes. However, this reaction depends on pozzolanic content in fill materials and is disappeared in 2-3 days after placement of coal ash fill. Therefore, state of coal ash fill is commonly very loose and not appropriate for foundations of structures without special treatments. In this study, a coal ash placement device was developed to place coal ashes effectively to improve density of coal ash fills. The device consists of a ribbon type mixer to obtain homogeneous materials mixture and a piston type pump for density control of fill materials. Based on several laboratory test results, more stable coal ash fill state can be obtained with controlling placement pressure.

In this study, adiabatic temperature rise of concrete depending on binder compositions and CGS contents is studied to provide informations for CGS low-heating aggregate and mixture designs for upper and lower placement lifts. Test nresults indicate that it is desirable to apply the combination of binders between top and bottom lift. For top lift, SESC or ESC is recommended, and for bottom lift, FAC+CGS 50 % is good for material composition.
