What about "fat" concrete??

 

[Ron]

130 to 140 pcf

I would use 150 pcf. It is essentially the same as normal weight concrete except you use less cement.

We would call this light weight concrete. A lean mix to me is a mix that uses larger stone generally combined with less cement. I can't see any justification for reducing the dead wieght per area.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory
