COMBUSTION POTENTIAL IN THE UTILIZATION OF BITUMINOUS COAL REFUSE IN GEOTECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION

Coal mine refuse has been traditionally considered unsuitable for engineering construction, primarily because of its combustion potential. Based on the investigation and analysis of the geotechnical properties of coal refuse obtained from the Appalachian coal region, guidelines are provided to eliminate or minimize the potential of combustion for the utilization of bituminous coal refuse in geotechnical construction.
