Backfilling mining methods control the surrounding pressure and ground subsidence by backfilling goaf and managing the ground pressure, providing a safety guarantee for mining in complex environments and serving as a key means of achieving the deep mining of metal minerals. However, in the design of backfill strength, material mix ratios are determined under indoor standard constant temperature and humidity conditions, which differ significantly from the in situ curing environment. Strength measurements obtained from field samples are notably higher than those from indoor test specimens. To address this issue, this study designed a curing device simulating the in situ thermal-hydraulic multi-field environment of the mining site and tested the strength and porosity of the backfill under different curing temperatures, curing pressures, and pore water pressures. The results indicate that curing pressure and pore water pressure significantly altered the pore structure of the specimens. Specifically, when the curing pressure increased to 750 kPa, the maximum pore diameter decreased from 3110.52 nm to approximately 2055 nm, accompanied by a continuous reduction in porosity. Pore water pressure exhibited a positive linear correlation with specimen porosity, which increased continuously as the pore water pressure rose. With increasing curing temperature, the strength of the backfilled specimens first increased and then decreased, reaching a maximum at 45 °C. As the curing pressure increased, the strength of the backfilled specimens rose, but the rate of increase gradually slowed. With increasing pore water pressure, the strength of the backfilled specimens showed a gradual decreasing trend.
