Lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) is an alternative construction material with growing applications over the past three decades. It is mainly composed of hydraulic cement, water, and pre-formed foam. Its lightweight, ease of placement, and insulating property make it a suitable material for structural backfill, utility insulation, and road construction. Being an innovative material with diverse potential applications in the construction industry, it is worth knowing typical engineering characteristics of this material. So far, various laboratory tests were conducted on LCCs at different Canadian laboratories. These include tests for resilient modulus, elasticity modulus, shear strength, tensile strength, hydraulic conductivity, thermal conductivity, and freeze-thaw resistance. The laboratory tests were conducted on LCCs with densities ranging from 400kg/m3to 600kg/m3. These are typical densities of the LCCs that have been so far used in Canada for different applications. According to the test results, the resilient modulus and modulus of elasticity of the LCC vary over the ranges of 0.12- 0.35 MPa and 850 MPa - 1,100 Mpa respectively, while the Poisson's ratio range is 0.19 - 0.26. The freeze-thaw test results, on the other hand, indicates the relative dynamic modulus of the LCCs exceeds 80% after 350 freeze-thaw cycles. These show that LCC has excellent resistance to freeze-thaw even though their stiffness is low compared to chemically stabilized pavement materials. In this paper, the mechanical and thermal properties of the lightweight cellular concrete that have been determined in various Canadian laboratories using standard and non-standard test methods will be compiled and presented. Besides, comparison of the test results with the results of similar tests that have been performed outside Canada will be incorporated. Furthermore, results of some mechanical testing based on different densities will also be shown and analyzed.
