Hey Customer,

thank you for your question. The lightweight concrete factor will not be applied until lightweight concrete is selected. To select lightweight concrete, click on the lightweight concrete button in the Base Material tab. When selected, the lightweight concrete button will be highlighted in orange. Note that lightweight concrete is only available in some design strength methods, i.e. Strength Design according to ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-14. I hope I have answered your question. If there is anything else, please let me know.

All the best
Justin
