    Looking for High (relative) tensile strength very low weight cementitious material

    ^^^ Excellent thought. That is the idea of what I'm after. I will have to research to see who (if anyone) offers such a thing.

    Looking for High (relative) tensile strength very low weight cementitious material

    It really is a bizarre application that I can't discuss in detail. Essentially the slab needs to be frangible (brittle/cimentitious) and crushable (low compression strength) for one set of demands but also has to resist some relatively high wind demands through flexure over relatively short...

    Looking for High (relative) tensile strength very low weight cementitious material

    Thanks for the responses. I will say, I don't believe we'd be building sky scrapers out of 200psi material... but hey, to each their own. What I'm after is a light weight topping slab. It needs to have a low compression strength for various reasons but the goal is to find something where...

    Looking for High (relative) tensile strength very low weight cementitious material

    As the title says, I'm looking for a material with the following characteristics... 1. Cementitious material 2. Light weight (<60 pcf) 3. Low compression strength < 1000 psi 4. High relative tensile strength I can find materials satisfying 1, 2 and 3, but unfortunately cannot find any...
