Fast-setting flowable fill compositions, and methods of utilizing and producing the same
Fast-setting flowable fill compositions for filling ground trenches are described. The compositions set quickly but retain a low strength psi at 28 days. The compositions also reduce bleed water on the surface of the fast-setting flowable fill and therefor enable quicker application of surface repair material, e.g., pavement patches, to the trench. The compositions consist of aggregate, Portland cement, accelerant, water and sometimes air. The compositions may have a compressive strength of between 5 psi and 60 psi after 2 hours, a compressive strength of between 10 psi and 100 psi after 4 hours, a compressive strength of between 75 psi and 500 psi after 28 days, a penetration resistance of between 1.5 tsf and 75 tsf after 2 hours, a penetration resistance of between 4.5 tsf and 200 tsf after 4 hours, and a shrinkage of less than 2% as measured by ASTM C490. Also disclosed are methods of filling a trench with fast-setting flowable fill.
