This paper presents a study that focuses on evaluating the feasibility of incorporating cement kiln dust (CKD) in the development of controlled low-strength materials (CLSM). A preliminary study (phase I) was conducted (based on fresh and strength properties) to understand the behaviour of 12 selected CLSM mixtures where CKD and cement content varied from 4% to 45% and from 2% to 4% of total mass, respectively. Subsequently, four best CLSM mixes were selected for a detailed study (phase II), which investigated fresh and hardened properties, addressed durability issues, and made recommendations for suitable mix designs for field applications. The research suggests that CLSM with acceptable properties can be developed using moderate volumes of CKD (up to 15% by mass). A combination of 2% cement and 10% CKD or 15% CKD and no cement can provide a mix that satisfies the requirements of a CLSM. Sustainable development in the cement industry can be partly achieved by producing CKD-based CLSM, as it consumes cogenerated products from the cement manufacturing process.Key words: cement kiln dust, controlled low-strength material, mix design, fresh–mechanical properties, durability.

This paper aims to investigate the influence of utilization micro cement kiln dust as a sustainable materials additive in order to reduce the voids and micro cracks in the cementitious mortar materials which cause a drastic reduction in the load carrying capacity of the element. Its therefore very important to decrease the pores and enhance the mechanical strength of the cementitious composite materials. In this article, the properties of self-compacting mortar containing micro cement dust additive was experimentally assessed. Micro cement dust powder was added to the self-compacting mortar in (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 %) percentage by weight of cement to be used as cementitious sustainable materials. The experimental results indicated that the modification and enhancement of the workability of fresh mixture and the mechanical strengths of self-compacting mortar were increased as micro cement dust additives increases. Also; the water absorption and total porosity were decreased with increases of micro cement dust powder.
