Geotechnical Lightweight Concrete

Type 1	Consists of cement, water and pre-generated aqueous foam. This material has a designated density of 25-70 lbs/ft^3.
Type 2	Consists of cement, aggregate, water and pregenerated aqueous foam. The material has a designated density of 40 to 120 lbs/ft³, where conventional concrete is approximately 145 lbs/ft³.
Foam	Consists of a predesignated density of non-connecting macroscopic air cells. Predetermined amounts of foam are added to proven mix designs.
