Its compressive strength is similar to sandy soil. A 4" slab contributes about 50 psf of load; add a 40lb live load and you're still below 1 pound per square inch. The compression curve for plastic is usually pretty straight, so insulation rated at 15 psi would compress somewhere in the neighborhood of 0.015 of its thickness.
A typical variation of strength with dry density for concrete with a filler–cement ratio 1 at different ages is plotted in Fig. 6. For both cement–sand and cement–fly ash–sand mixes, compressive strength increased with increasing dry densities, as expected, due to the lower pore volume.
