Abstract
Coal mining wastes (CMW) consist of fragments of rocks and coal seams which are brought to the surface during coal extraction. As CMW do not constitute any part of a coal product, they have often been left insufficiently treated in storage facilities, causing significant economic and environmental costs to society world-wide. Processing CMW into an ingredient of foam concrete is a promising solution however the behavior of this construction product is not well understood. This paper reports on experimental investigations of the compressive strength of foam concrete samples made with a coal mining waste from Poland. Experimental results shows that the compressive strength exhibits an increase with the increase in curing duration and an increase in CMW replacement percentage from 10 to 20%.
