The paper deals with the long-term stiffness characterization of Controlled Low-Strength Materials (CLSM) for pavement applications in substitution of granular fill materials. Three alternative CLSM mixtures, two with ordinary Portland cement and a third one with an ultra-rapid solpho aluminate cement, were examined. Two different sample aspect ratios were considered and the samples were subjected to different testing conditions in terms of saturation, loading time and repetition. The investigated CLSMs are insensitive to variations of loading frequency and to water saturation, and sensitive to sample aspect ratio. They exhibit a significant increase in stiffness under repeated load triaxial testing and a low permanent strain accumulation. Finally, they exhibit an increase in resilient modulus when the deviatoric stress increases.

Abstract
The paper deals with the long-term stiffness characterization of Controlled Low-Strength Materials (CLSM) for pavement applications in substitution of granular fill materials. Three alternative CLSM mixtures, two with ordinary Portland cement and a third one with an ultra-rapid solpho aluminate cement, were examined. Two different sample aspect ratios were considered and the samples were subjected to different testing conditions in terms of saturation, loading time and repetition. The investigated CLSMs are insensitive to variations of loading frequency and to water saturation, and sensitive to sample aspect ratio. They exhibit a significant increase in stiffness under repeated load triaxial testing and a low permanent strain accumulation. Finally, they exhibit an increase in resilient modulus when the deviatoric stress increases.Pubblicazioni consigliate
