Min. Compress. Strength of Flowable Fill in Parking Lot Application
Min. Compress. Strength of Flowable Fill in Parking Lot Application
(OP)
What is the minimum compressive strength of flowable fill that would be recomended for a parking lot application? Our parking lot is generally for "cars-only".
There is underground utilities being added - the contractor is proposing using flowable fill CLSM instead of compacted back fill.
I did search and was not able to find a sufficient reference stating such a strength-nor a way to correlate a SPD to a CLSM compressive strength.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Especially providing a good reference for us to review, which discusses the topic.

I am more concerned about settlement/deformation of the pavement on the flowable fill. Especially thinking about a wheel load on the pavement section.

Keep the strength low, don't create "hard spots" in the pavement section and make it excavatable for future repairs.
