With the development of the agro-industrial complex and the construction of enterprises for processing oleaginous crops, the issue of protecting construction structures from the effects of oil arises. The negative effect of the oils on concrete and reinforced concrete leads to the reduction of reliability and durability of constructions in general, and to different accidents or unscheduled repairs at processing enterprises. In the experimental study of the effective ways to increase the durability of concrete and concrete structures due to the use of modern plasticizing additives, basalt fiber and finely dispersed fillers has been determined. The obtained results of the research can be used in the design of reinforced concrete structures operated with the growth of vegetable or mineral oils, as well as for practical purposes when carrying out a technical survey at industrial plants where vegetable or mineral oil is produced. Basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) is suggested to be a solution to the effect of oil on concrete. The properties and characteristics of basalt fibers give the fiber advantages when compared to other ways to curing or solving the effects of oil on concrete.
