What mix designs are recommended for use with light weight concrete?

Because some light weight aggregates are more porous than standard aggregates (this is very dependent on the specific material available), we recommend using a high performance concrete such as one that uses silica fume (microsilica) and fly ash as specified by NYSDOT, or ground granulated blast furnace slag, as specified by Florida DOT.
