"This material has renewed interests in terms of underground engineering. This is the requirement of underground structure to control the overlying dead load... whereas the controllable density and low self-weight... could be effectively used for reducing the dead load. Other properties, such as seismic resistance, ideal coordinated deformation capacity, and easy pumping...enhance the popularity of this material..."
