“…The graph shows that, as the content of the basalt fibre increases, there is a slight increase in the unit weight of the concrete due to the fact that basalt fibres are the lightest component in the concrete mixture and their effect on the concrete unit weight can hardly be noticed. This is similar to the results obtained by Thumandhir [23], who indicated that basalt fibres have little effect on the concrete unit weight, as can be seen from Figure 17.…”

“…This is mainly because basalt fibre has the ability to absorb certain moisture when added to the concrete, causing a reduction in the slump of the concrete, which also improves the concrete permeability, as it reduces the pore gaps in the concrete microstructure Jianxun Ma [10]. On the other hand, increasing the content of the fibres in concrete enhances the mass added to the mixture, which leads to a decrease in the flow ability of the concrete Tumandir [23]. From the test result observed, there was no aggregate segregation and full homogeneous mix was observed from the test.…”

This paper discusses the effect of the fraction (0.2-0.3% by volume) and length (22 mm and 24 mm) of basalt fibre on the mechanical properties of concrete. The paper aims to evaluate the effect of different combinations of basalt fibres on the mechanical properties of concrete, as well as identify the best basalt fibre length and content that have the optimum influence on concrete. This paper is considered to be distinct from other research work as it fills the literature gap by presenting new unknown facts and also adds new knowledge. For example, it identifies the best basalt fibre length and content combination that demonstrates an improvement in the mechanical properties of concrete. It suggests the use of a blend of 12 mm short and 24 mm long fibres as they have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of concrete, it validates the results obtained from the laboratory by using a statistical analysis of variance ANOVA software, as well as determine the correlation between the mechanical properties of concrete. The results showed that the optimum basalt fibre length and content that enhanced the mechanical properties of concrete is 24 mm long fibre with content of 0.2% by the total volume of concrete. It also show that changing basalt fibre length and content enhance not only both tensile and flexural strengths of concrete, but also reduce its compressive strength, workability and air content of concrete, as well as maintain the unit weight and modulus of elasticity values. In this context, the incorporation of basalt fibres within the mixture becomes an important parameter for strengthening concrete in the construction industry.

“…Basalt, a natural material mostly found in volcanic rocks originating from frozen lava, has been found to exhibit similar characteristics as other fibres (steel, glass, polystyrene, and carbon). Basalt fibre has been well researched as an ingredient for improving properties of concrete as demonstrated in the following studies (Ayub, Shafiq, Fadhil Nuruddin, & Ullah Khan, 2014;Borhan & Bailey, 2014;Shaikh & Haque, 2018).…”

“…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.…”

Research on three-dimensional, randomly distributed BFRC in China is analyzed and summarized in relative depth in this study.e results indicate that the effect of the fiber component and alkali corrosion temperature on the alkali resistance of BF is significant; the BF has little effect on the compressive strength of the concrete; the tensile and flexural strengths of the composites significantly increase compared with plain concrete, and the fiber content has a significant effect on the strength. In light of some problems in the current research, six possible research topics are suggested: (1) investigating the alkali resistance of the BF under dynamic temperatures, lower alkali concentrations, and longer alkali corrosion times; (2) improving the alkali resistance of the BF by increasing its hydrophobicity; (3) determining the optimal fiber distribution orientation of the BF with various characteristic parameters; (4) establishing the calculation formulas for the critical content and critical aspect ratio of various types of BF; (5) determining the optimal mixture ratio of two or more fibers in the FRC while studying the complementary mechanisms between each other; and (6) improving the dispersion of the BF and the BF/matrix interfacial properties.
