This paper addresses the influence of fluidized bed combustion fly ash (FBCA) and further liquefying additives on the formation of structure and on the resulting properties of self-compacting grouts based on clay soil. In order to give the best account of the influence of individual input materials, tests were conducted on samples without the use of fluidized bed combustion fly ash. Clay soil (Cl) and cement were used as input materials, and fluidized bed combustion fly ash (10% and 30%) and a liquefying additive (sodium carbonate 0.1%) were used as an admixture. It has been experimentally determined that the use of 10% FBCA with clay soil is most suitable for achieving the optimal spillage parameter of self-compacting grout (class SF2 (660–750 mm) and class SF3 (760–850 mm)). It was also found that fluidized bed combustion fly ash and the liquefying additive have a significant influence on the formation of the structure of the self-compacting grout and, due to their presence, the compressive strength of the samples increased up to 0.5 MPa after seven days of hardening. The reaction between 0.1% of sodium carbonate and clay soil increased the electrokinetic potential, which reduced the viscosity of the self-compacting grout. Within the research work, the verification of the developed self-compacting grout in situ was also carried out.
