On the Question of the Application of Basalt Microfiber for Reinforcement of Thermal Insulation AAC

Abstract

The article describes the first exploratory studies on the reinforcement of heat-insulating autoclaved aerated concrete with a basalt microfiber. The aim of the work is to obtain autoclaved aerated concrete of reduced density with improved tensile and bending characteristics. The first results obtained using basalt microfiber for reinforcing cellular concrete with a density of 150 kg/m3 are analyzed.

Review of selected aspects of shaping of physical, mechanical and thermal properties and manufacturing technology of lightweight and ultra-lightweight autoclaved aerated concrete

“…Lapovska et al [24] investigated a heat insulating autoclaved aerated concrete reinforced with basalt fibre. Basalt fibre was introduced into concrete with a density of 150 kg/m 3 in order to increase its tensile and bending strength.…”
