## Abstract

Manufactures, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a structural cellular lightweight concrete comprises a concrete mixture that is no more than 65% by volume of the manufacture of structural cellular lightweight concrete, the concrete mixture including concrete conforming to the requirements of ASTM C33; foam that has a density of at least 5 lbs/ft3, having high stability characteristics, and having a closed cell bubble structure; mix water being potable and free of contamination or deleterious materials; and Portland cement conforming to ASTM C150, the Portland cement being Type I, Type III or White Portland cement, and at least 35% air by volume of the manufacture of structural cellular lightweight concrete.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of manufacturing a structural cellular lightweight concrete comprising:
creating a batch mix without foam;
creating a foam from a foaming agent and from water;
adding the foam to the batch mix;
blending the batch mix for a plurality of revolutions, creating a blended batch mix;
checking if the blended batch mix has a density range of 75 lbs/ft3±(1 lbs/ft3) and adjusting the blended batch mix if not within the density range until the blended batch mix is within the density range of 75 lbs/ft3±(1 lbs/ft3);
recording the time of a test cylinder of the blended batch mix on a batch form;
pouring the blended batch mix into a bottom of a mold, thus filling the mold from the bottom of the mold upwards, thereby creating the structural cellular lightweight concrete in the mold.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting further comprises:
continuing the method at the action of adding foam when the density is above the range of 75 lbs/ft3±(1 lbs/ft3); and
continuing the method at the action of blending the batch mix when the density is below the range of 75 lbs/ft3±(1 lbs/ft3).

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the foam further comprises:
a foaming agent that includes no synthetic materials and does include tree gum or horse ingredients.
