2. Engineered cementitious composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_cementitious...

   Compared to other lightweight concretes, lightweight ECC has superior ductility. Applications include floating homes, barges, and canoes. ‘Self compacting concrete’ refers to a concrete that can flow under its own weight. For instance, a self-compacting material would be able to fill a mold containing elaborate pre-positioned steel ...

3. Expanded polystyrene concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polystyrene_concrete

   Expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete (also known as EPScrete, EPS concrete or lightweight concrete) is a form of concrete known for its light weight made from cement and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene). It is a popular material for use in environmentally "green" homes.

4. Autoclaved aerated concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoclaved_aerated_concrete

   Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a lightweight, prefabricated concrete building material. Developed initially in the mid-1920s, it has expanded into widespread use. [citation needed] It is most suitable for producing a lightweight or most cost-effective alternative to traditional concrete blocks and clay bricks. [1]

5. Foam concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_concrete

   Foam concrete, also known as Lightweight Cellular Concrete (LCC) and Low Density Cellular Concrete (LDCC), and by other names, is defined as a cement-based slurry, with a minimum of 20% (per volume) foam entrained into the plastic mortar. [1]

6. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

   Aerated concrete produced by the addition of an air-entraining agent to the concrete (or a lightweight aggregate such as expanded clay aggregate or cork granules and vermiculite) is sometimes called cellular concrete, lightweight aerated concrete, variable density concrete, Foam Concrete and lightweight or ultra-lightweight concrete, [18] [19 ...

7. Controlled low strength material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_low_strength...

   Several states have noted that metal or plastic pipes tend to float unless anchored, and some states have reported some resistance to the use of the material by contractors or engineers. Since flowable fill is normally a comparatively low-strength material, there are no strict quality requirements for fly ash used in flowable fill or controlled ...
