Abstract: A new type of cementless titanium gypsum-based controlled low-strength material (CLSM) was proposed to solve the problems of low comprehensive utilization and insufficient consumption of titanium gypsum and poor compaction in road projects. The unconfined compressive strength test method and volume stability test method were used to study the effects of construction waste soil replacement rate, water-solid ratio, titanium gypsum content and activator content on the compressive strength and volume stability of CLSM, and the reasons for the properties changes through XRD and SEM were explored. The results show that the early strength of CLSM increases with the increase of the replacement of construction waste soil, but the expansion rate decreases. Increasing the water-solid ratio reduces the strength, and the expansion rate increases accordingly. However, increasing the content of titanium gypsum reduces the strength and expansion rate of CLSM. When the content of titanium gypsum is 70% (mass fraction), the volume of CLSM tends to shrink, and the shrinkage rate basically reaches the maximum at 14 d. The increase of the amount of quicklime improves the shrinkage of CLSM and plays a certain role in compensating for shrinkage.
