After capital and material fundraising, it was concluded that Portland Cement Type I and Silica Fume would be used as our cementitious materials, Poraver (0.5-1.0mm) and LS300 Cenospheres would be used as our aggregates, and Sikament 686 and Sika Air (air entrainer) would be used as our admixtures. Our goal was to create ten applicable mix designs that would be strength oriented, yet lightweight. To ensure these qualities were maintained, the density of the mix must be between 60.4-64.4 lbs\/ft<sup><span style=\"font-size: small\">3<\/span><\/sup><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">.
