Flowfill, or CLSM (Controlled Low Strength Material) is known by a variety of terms:
Soil Replacement, K-Crete, Lean Mix Backfill, Flowable Mortal, Liquid Dirt, and Controlled Density Fill. Controlled Low Strength Material is a mixture of Portland Cement and/or fly ash, aggregates, water, and possibly chemical admixtures that, as the cement hydrates, forms a soil replacement material. CLSM is a self-compacting, flowable, cementitious material that is primarily used as a backfill or structural fill in lieu of compacted fill or as unsuitable native soil. Depending on the amount of water used in the CLSM mixture, it can also be placed as a non-flowable compacted material or as a mortar. (Defined in by American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM)
CLSM/Flowable Fill is not concrete. It is delivered in a ready mix truck just as concrete is, and has some of the same ingredients concrete has, but it is very different.
