Foam-sand mixes promise bearing-strength uses
Applications for foamed aggregates to underground mining include replacements for prestressed preloaded concrete pillars and as tunnel linings; high density rigid foams have structural properties comparable with concrete; they adhere strongly to almost any dry surface; they have excellent thermal and electrical characteristics and flame retardancy; they can be sprayed as thin sheet or foamed in volume to fill all voids; addition of suitable aggregates gives them compressive strength comparable with concrete; high cost limits their present use underground.
