Ultra-lightweight Foamed Glass Aggregate (UL-FGA) is a lightweight fill alternative that is used on infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects. Beneficial properties of UL-FGA include a low unit weight (<15 pcf dry density), good insulating value, high friction angle, non-reactive and non-leaching behavior, volume stability, and porosity. Additionally, the material is made from 100% recycled glass and has an attractive carbon and energy footprint compared to other lightweight fill options. This presentation will cover the physical and engineering properties of UL-FGA, application areas, design considerations, and greater-Boston case studies from projects that have utilized UL-FGA in design and construction.
