The article comments on article "Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications" in which author used the best-fit regression curve for the entirety of samples tested. It mentions unconfined compressive strength (UCS) may be slightly overestimated for the LCC materials having dry unit weights and LCC materials for known test density using the exponential function. It also mentions application of LCC material in mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls.
