Properties of glass concrete reinforced with short basalt fibre

Effects of recycled glass on properties of architectural mortar before and after exposure to elevated temperatures

“…Early research attempts mainly focused on utilizing RG as a replacement for aggregates (Ismail and AL-Hashmi, 2009;Borhan, 2012;Zhao et al, 2013). The incorporation of RG in mortar and concrete brings a variety of benefits, for example, increased workability, improved resistance to chloride ion penetration, and reduced drying shrinkage, mostly due to the near zero porosity and non-hydrophilic nature of glass (Topcu and Canbaz, 2004;Chen et al, 2011).…”

Review of Basalt Fiber‐Reinforced Concrete in China: Alkali Resistance of Fibers and Static Mechanical Properties of Composites

“…e study of BF in Europe, the United States, Japan, and other countries started in the 1970s, and the production process was inferior to those in the former Soviet Union [5]. However, in recent years, in-depth research on BFRC has been reported in Europe, the United States, and Japan, specifically reports on the alkali resistance of BF by Sim et al [18] and Lipatov et al [19]; the strength, heat resistance, high-temperature resistance, and inflaming retarding of BF glass aggregate concrete by Borhan et al [20][21][22]; the thermal deformation of BF-aerated concrete by Sinica et al [23]; the conventional mechanical properties of concrete with a high BF content by Ayub et al [24]; and the wearcorrosion resistance of BFRC by Kabay [25], among others.…”

Influence of static long-term loads and cyclic freezing/thawing on the behaviour of concrete beams reinforced with BFRP and HFRP bars

“…In addition, the fiber has a higher tensile strength than steel and a relatively high modulus of elasticity, however, lower than the elasticity modulus of steel. According to [12], basalt fibers show higher tensile strength than type E glass fibers, higher limit deformations at destruction than carbon fibers, as well as good resistance in conditions of chemical aggressiveness and fire temperatures [11,13]. BFRP bars can be an alternative to conventional reinforcement due to the favorable functional properties of basalt fibers, therefore research works should be undertaken to disseminate their use.…”
