Abrasion resistance is a critical durability parameter of foamed concrete applied in floor screeds and wear - exposed surface layers. Owing to its cellular structure, abrasion performance depends on bubble morphology, including size, distribution and uniformity. This paper presents an experimental study combining high - magnification microscopy with standardized abrasion testing on mixtures with systematically varied composition. Statistical screening identified the governing parameters. Results demonstrate that foaming - agent properties and the resulting pore structure predominantly control abrasion resistance, while other mixture variables have secondary influence. Finer and more homogeneous pore systems significantly enhance surface durability.
