The confined consolidation test was completed under the pressure from 0.5 to 32 MPa to simulate the pressure change of backfillings 1,000 m beneath the surface. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of filling specimens was studied before and after consolidation, and with further curing after consolidation. The strength changing properties of fillings under high pressure gave some new information for further understanding the interaction of fillings and surrounding rock. The study result is supplement to traditional backfilling theories.
