The experimental study is devoted to investigation on foamed concrete produced applying innovative intensive mixing technology by using a planetary ball mill. Modern type of foamed concrete represents cementitious composite material group which may be competitive with traditionally used autoclaved aerated concrete. Innovative mixing method makes possible stabilizing of foamed concrete mixture and improving the microstructure of material. The aim of this study is to investigate physical and mechanical properties of non-autoclaved concrete such as density and compressive strength, and capillary water absorption depending on intensive mixing time. In this research microstructure, such as pore size diameters, depending on mixing time is also analysed.
