“…19,[93][94][95] However, it has been stated by many researchers that the use of hybrid fibers is more effective in bridging cracks before and after the high-temperature effect and improving the strength and durability properties of concrete compared to their use in the single form. 22,25,26,60,[65][66][67][68] These researchers emphasized that using large and smaller aspect ratios (L/D) in fibers in concrete mixtures as hybrid forms can more effectively prevent crack formation and development from micro to meso and macro levels. Compared to conventional concretes, UHPCs have higher strength and durability properties.…”

“…Six‐millimeter‐thick micro‐BA fibers more effectively limited the formation and uncontrolled propagation of micro‐cracks in the matrix compared to 12‐ and 13‐mm‐length BA and ST fibers. Therefore, it was more beneficial to use micro‐BA fibers as hybrid forms with BA and ST fibers with 12‐ and 13‐mm lengths to improve the RCS capacities of mortar samples exposed to high‐temperature effects 64–68 …”

This paper primarily examines the flowability, physical appearance, mass loss, residual compressive strength (RCS), and residual flexural strength (RFS) properties of steel (ST) and basalt (BA) fiber-added sustainable ultra-high performance geopolymer cement (UHPGPC) mortars exposed to hightemperature effects. According to the results obtained, ST and BA fibers adversely influence the workability properties of UHPGPC mortars and thus significantly reduce the spreading diameters of the mortars. However, ST and BA fibers substantially improve the RCS and RFS capacities of UHPGPC specimens exposed to high temperatures because they have a powerful bonding effect with the matrix and effectually restrict the development of micro-and macro-cracks with their bridging effect. Furthermore, this phenomenon is slightly more effective in hybrid form than using ST and BA fibers.

“…However, Ramesh et al [25] concluded that the best flexural strength was observed by incorporating 0.6% PP fiber compared to those of 0.3%, 0.9% and 1.2% PP fiber. On the other hand, L. Bei-xing et al [26] and Mazaheripour et al [27] indicated that PP fiber changed the compressive strength hardly ever, while some other studies [28][29][30] found an increase up to 20%, which was attributed to the influence of fiber and aggregate interlocking mechanisms.…”

An experimental study was herein presented focusing the effect of different type, shape and volume fraction of fibers on the hardened properties of concrete including compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths at 7 and 28 curing days. A control concrete mixture with no fiber was prepared and six fiber reinforced concrete mixtures were designed by using two different types of fibers which were steel fibers with different shapes (short straight and hooked end) and polypropylene fiber with the volume fraction of 0.4% and 0.8%. The load-deflection curves and toughness of the specimens were analyzed based on ASTM C1609. The results showed that the utilization of short straight steel fibers with 0.8% volume fraction was most efficient at improving the compressive strength while the use of 0.8% long hooked end steel fibers provided better splitting tensile and flexural strengths. Besides, the long hooked end steel fibers with the volume fraction of 0.8% contributed to an excellent deflection hardening behavior resulting in higher load deflection capacity and toughness at peak load, L/600 and L/150. On the other hand, with incorporation of polypropylene fiber, all strength values were decreased regardless of the volume fraction and curing days.

Basalt fibers, known as “green materials without pollution in the 21st century”, have gained widespread attention due to its good mechanical properties. Basalt fiber‐based composites have applications in various fields such as construction, transportation, energy, and protection. However, as an inorganic fiber material, basalt fiber is hard and brittle and prone to catastrophic failure, reducing the safety of the material. Therefore, it is important to strengthen the toughness of basalt fiber‐based composites. This paper reviews the contributions made by researchers in recent years to enhance the toughness of basalt fiber reinforced composites. It mainly focuses on four aspects: physical and chemical modification of fibers surface, mixed application of multiple fibers, different textile and 3D printing technology, and design of biomimetic structures. Through these methods, the toughness of basalt fiber‐reinforced composite materials was increased by 10%–90%. In today's advocacy for green industrial development, the research and application of basalt fibers are very important for advancing the process of green development. These contributions can promote the application of basalt fiber in engineering fields.Highlights Basalt fiber is a green material without pollution. Basalt fiber reinforced composites is the key material for engineering field. Strengthening interfacial adhesion can significantly improve the toughness of composites. Basalt fibers can serve as an alternative to glass fibers in composite materials. The hybridization of basalt fibers with soft fibers can effectively enhance the toughness of composites.
