Due to the enormous cement content, pozzolanic materials, and the use of different aggregates, sustainable controlled low-strength material (CLSM) has a higher material cost than conventional concrete and sustainable construction issues. However, by selecting appropriate materials and formulations, as well as cement and aggregate content, whitethorn costs can be reduced while having a positive environmental impact. This research explores the desire to optimize plastic properties and 28-day unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of CLSM containing powder content from unprocessed-fly ash (u-FA) and recycled fine aggregate (RFA). The mixtures' input parameters consist of water-to-cementitious material ratio (W/CM), fly ash-to-cementitious materials (FA/CM), and paste volume percentage (PV%), while flowability, bleeding, segregation index, and 28-day UCS were the desired responses. The central composite design (CCD) notion was used to produce twenty CLSM mixes and was experimentally validated using MATLAB by an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Variance analysis (ANOVA) was used for the determination of statistical models. Results revealed that the plastic properties of CLSM improve with the FA/CM rise when the strength declines for 28 days-with an increase in FA/CM, the diameter of the flowability and bleeding decreased. Meanwhile, the u-FA's rise strengthens the CLSM's segregation resistance and raises its strength over 28 days. Using calcareous powder as a substitute for cement has a detrimental effect on bleeding, and 28-day UCS increases segregation resistance. The response surface method (RSM) can establish high correlations between responses and the constituent materials of sustainable CLSM, and the optimal values of variables can be measured to achieve the desired response properties.

지반을 굴착하고 지하매설물을 설치한 후 뒤채움하는 시공에 있어 뒤채움재에 의한 하중은 지하매설물의 안정성을 저감시키고, 이로 인해 각종 파손이 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 여러 산업 부산물을 이용하여 관의 변형을 일으키지 않고 소정의 강도를 가질 수 있는 뒤채움재를 개발하기 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화력발전소의 산업부산물인 석탄회를 활용한 뒤채움재를 사용하여 그 중 CLSM에 대한 물리적 특성 기준에 가장 적합한 배합비를 선택하여 현장시험을 실시하였고, 수치해석을 수행하여 실험결과의 신뢰성을 높였으며 뒤채움 후 DB-24 하중을 재하하여 하중재하 전 후의 지표침하량, 매설관의 변형률을 분석하였다. 그 결과 현장실험과 수치해석 모두 비슷한 결과를 얻었고 침하량은 2mm 이하로 나타났으며 매설관의 변형률은 최대 0.006으로 나타났다.
