above the ramp and relatively large lateral loads imposed from structural fill, cellular concrete
was selected as a value engineering option for backfilling the ramp. The use of cellular
concrete as backfill reduce the imposed loads on the closure system by almost 60%, reducing
the required tierod levels, number of tierods, and size of the deadman which drastically shrunk
the construction schedule and overall impacts.

1PM - Introducing the Guide to Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications
1:50PM The Portland Cement Association, in collaboration with the National Concrete Pavement
Technology Center, has recently completed and made available a document titled Guide
for Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications. The primary purpose of
this free guide is to provide information for construction professionals and design engineers
on the materials, properties, design, proper handling, and applications of lightweight cellular
concrete (LCC) for geotechnical applications, including common uses, conceptual guidance,
and design guidelines. The document was made possible through the invaluable contributions
from members of the lightweight fill community who helped establish the technical direction
for the guide. This presentation will introduce the guide and examine its contents to include the
benefits and applications of using LCC for geotechnical projects, materials, and properties of
both fresh and hardened LCC, examples of both mix design preparation and field installation,
geotechnical evaluation, and the design, construction, and field testing of LCC, among other
topics. A discussion of a guide specification covering the materials, equipment, construction
inspection, and testing requirements for constructing LCC fills will also be included. Lastly, this
presentation will stress how the guide addresses the importance of geotechnical oversight at
the beginning of a project, during the mix design stage, and during construction to ensure that
projects meet their intended purpose.
