Abstract In this paper, a grouting material with low cost and high density was proposed for the reinforcement of large-scale floor cracks. The component screening test, mechanical property test, rheological properties test, and impermeability test were conducted to obtain the strength, rheological properties, and permeability of the new grouting materials. In order to fully understand the physicochemical properties of the new grouting material, a total of 12 sets of test pieces were produced using cement, clay, and fly ash as the main body, and foaming agent as the auxiliary material. Each set of the test pieces had different proportions of ingredients, pores conditions, and auxiliary chemical materials (water reducing agents, defoamers). The test results showed that: (1) The optimal proportion of ingredients for the new grouting material (including 1% foaming agent) was: 40% of cement, 30% of clay, and 30% of fly ash. (2) The optimal amount of fly ash for the new grouting material was 30% and the optimal foaming amount for the new grouting material was 1%. The impermeability of the grouting material was 0.7 MPa, which reached Level P6. The new grouting material was suitable for the HB rheology model. (3) The pores were uniformly distributed inside the solidified body of the new grouting material. In the later stage, the strength of the solidified body was stable, and the flow loss was reduced. At present, the corresponding proportion of ingredients and the performance parameters of the new grouting material were tested in the laboratory. In the future, it is necessary to further determine the effect of the grouting material in the reinforcement of the floor crack of the coal seam and to improve the proportion of ingredients for the grouting material in the mine sites.
