Abstract

A manufactured cementitious binder includes a hydraulic binder in an amount in the range of from 40 to 75% by weight of the cementitious binder; metakaolin in an amount in the range of from 1 to 30% by weight of the cementitious binder; silica fume in an amount up to 15% by weight of the cementitious binder; limestone in an amount of from 5 to 30% by weight of the cementitious binder, and a cementitious accelerator in a controlled amount of at least 0.5% by weight of the cementitious binder, the cementitious binder providing a cementitious settable composition when added with water, wherein for a density lower than 13 pounds per gallon and of at least 11 pounds per gallon obtained without a lightweight additive, said cementitious settable composition exhibits a 24 hour compressive strength at 100 F, as hardened, of at least 500 psi.
