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.
