Mechanical Behavior of Coal Mine Waste Concretes

This paper presents coal mine waste (CMW) for use in concrete manufacture as a replacement of normal aggregates. The CMW in this study was collected from Sabook, Jungson-kun, Kangwon-do. Fine and coarse asggregates from CMW were prepared by crushing it in a jaw crusher and separating debris with #4 sieve. CMW aggregates showed good physical and mechanical properties with having specific gravity over 2.65, absorption less than 1%, and abration ratio below 20%, but particle shape of CMW was long or flat, which caused a poor workability in mixing. Therefore, to make workability better, a 1/4 of CMW coarse aggregate was replaced with normal aggregate which had a good particle shape, and a superplasticizer was added to the mix. Compressive strength and other mechanical properties of CMW concrete was very good. In conclusion, characteristics of CMW concrete was acceptable for use as a concrete structural material.
