| Description | This work is a systematic study of the strength and ultrasonic properties of cemented paste backfill incorporating a foaming agent, known as foam-cemented paste backfill (FCPB). Based on determining the optimal admixture contents (foaming stabilizer, thickening agent, and foaming agent), a series of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted to determine the relationship between the UCS of FCPB and four influencing factors, i.e., cement–tailings ratio (CTR), solid content (SC), curing time (T), and foaming agent content (FC). To analyze the sensitivity of UCS to these four factors, grey relational analysis (GRA) was introduced. Moreover, UCS results were correlated with the corresponding ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) parameters. The results indicate that the optimal contents of foaming stabilizer, thickening agent and foaming agent are 0.5%, 0.6%, and 1–3%, respectively. The UCS of FCPB exponentially increases with CTR and SC, while it logarithmically and linearly increases with T and FC, respectively. CTR has the most significant influence, followed by T, SC, and FC. There exists an evidently linear relationship between UPV and UCS of FCPB regardless of CTR, SC, T and FC. These results contribute to understanding the properties of hardened FCPB and to sound designs in practice. |
