“…This could be overcome by the incorporation of short fibers, able to reduce plastic shrinkage and, at the same time, improve some properties of the building handwork, such as ductility, flexural strength and durability (in particular freeze-thaw resistance). In a recent paper [5,6] the authors have demonstrated that glass and basalt fibers are able to modify the mechanical behavior of hydraulic lime-based mortars. In fact, a significant improvement of toughness and flexural post-cracking behavior have been observed in reinforced mortars, regardless of the nature and amount of fibers.…”

“…Additionally, different types of fibers for reinforcing LWACs show different responses on mechanical properties [23]. Basalt fiber (BF), which is produced from basalt rock, reveals excellent resistance to chemical and heat attacks [24][25][26] and has been proved to have enhanced mechanical properties of concrete, in the context of a reinforced composite [27,28]. Similarly, polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) is a synthetic fiber and specifically a polymer with a chain of carbon connected to one another; it is a hard, horny and high-melting material [29].…”

In this study, an experimental investigation was conducted on the mechanical properties of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) with different chopped fibers, including basalt fiber (BF) and polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF). The LWAC performance was studied in regard to compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and shear strength at age of 28 days. In addition, the oven-dried density and water absorption were measured as well to confirm whether the specimens match the requirement of standard. In total, seven different mixture groups were designed and approximately 104 LWAC samples were tested. The test results showed that the oven-dried densities of the LWAC mixtures were in range of 1.819–1.844 t/m3 which satisfied the definition of LWAC by Chinese Standard. Additionally, water absorption decreased with the increasing of fiber content. The development tendency of the specific strength of LWAC was the same as that of the cube compressive strength. The addition of fibers had a significant effect on reducing water absorption. Adding BF and PANF into concrete had a relatively slight impact on the compressive strength but had an obvious effect on splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and shear strength enhancement, respectively. In that regard, a 1.5% fiber volume fraction of BF and PANF showed the maximum increase in strength. The use of BF and PANF could change the failure morphologies of splitting tensile and flexural destruction but almost had slight impact on the shear failure morphology. The strength enhancement parameter β was proposed to quantify the improvement effect of fibers on cube compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and shear strength, respectively. And the calculation results showed good agreement with test value.

“…Recently, basalt fibre is used as an alternative reinforcement material, which exhibits exceptional characteristics and mechanical properties compared to those of glass fibres. Basalt-polymer materials are primarily used in building construction, and then they began to be employed in the automobile, machine, and aerospace industries as a replacement for traditional glass and carbon fibre reinforcements [2][3][4][5]. Moreover the basalt fibre is fire resistant and forms insulation against sound and heat and thus presents a more economical alternative to the carbon fibre.…”

Basalt particles have been investigated as a novel additive for the production of glass fibre reinforced composite using sheet moulding compound (SMC) method. Compared to the CaCO 3 that are widely used as filler in the SMC composite, the resulting composites exhibit improved mechanical properties. The tensile strength increased by approximately 15%, whereas the flexural strength was enhanced by 8% in SMC composites prepared by basalt particles. Examination of the surface morphology and interfacial debonding of the specimens is also performed via scanning electron microscopy. Superior strength properties are observed in the basalt particle-reinforced composites compared to those with the CaCO 3 fillers.
