Sarkar et al (Sarkar & Hajihosseini, 2018) have shown that the addition of basalt fiber increased the concrete compressive strength in a range of 4.3% and 9.4%. Niu et al (Niu et al, 2019) have shown that the addition of basalt and polypropylene fibers in high percentage has an adverse effect on the mechanical properties of concrete.…”

An experimental program is conducted in this research to investigate the mechanical properties of concrete made with electric wires, steel fibers, basalt fibers, and polypropylene fibers. Fibers are added to the concrete mix in three different percentages (48, 32 and 16 kg/m3 for steel and wire fibers) and (2, 4 and 8 kg/m 3 for basalt and polypropylene fibers). Fifty two concrete cylinders are tested under compression and splitting tensile strength tests to investigate the compressive and tensile behaviors of the fibrous concrete. Test results have shown that steel fiber is superior over the other types of fibers in increasing the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete. The addition of 48 kg/m3 steel fiber has increased the compressive strength of concrete up to 9% and has duplicated its tensile strength compared to the control specimen. The addition of 2 kg/ m3 polypropylene fibers has increased the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete up to 8.6% and 10.3% respectively. Increasing the percentage of polypropylene fibers to 8 kg/m 3 has resulted in increasing the tensile strength of concrete up to 22.8% while it has reduced its compressive strength by 9.6% compared to the control specimen. The addition of basalt fibers and wire fibers has resulted in decreasing the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete. The maximum reduction in concrete compressive strength is measured with 48 kg/m3 wire fibers where concrete compressive strength is reduced by 32.6%. The lowest tensile strength is measured with 8 kg/m 3 basalt fibers where the tensile strength is reduced by 27.7%.

“…One such material of interest currently being extensively used is basalt fiber, which is cost-effective and offers exceptional properties over glass fibers [73]. Despite the many benefits of using basalt fiber in concrete, only a restricted number of research has been found in the literature concerning basalt fiber or mesh reinforced construction layer of pavements [74][75][76][77]. The authors' long-term research of climatic changes of CE [17][18][19]57,60] and research in the field of applicability of foam concrete with a bulk density of 500 kg•m −3 in transport constructions [48][49][50] created credibility conditions for the design cycle pavements using composite foam concrete (CFC) with basalt mesh at high altitudes of CE.…”

Sustainable Adaptive Cycle Pavements Using Composite Foam Concrete at High Altitudes in Central Europe

Climate pavement adaptability is an integral part of a holistic concept of road design, construction, and pavement management. One of the possibilities for fulfilling the mentioned author’s premise in sustainable cycle pavements in the cold region of Central Europe is using composite foam concrete (CFC). To establish the credibility of the design of these pavements, we objectified the correlation dependencies of average annual air temperatures and frost indexes, for altitude regions from 314 to 858 m in the period 1971 to 2020, at its height above sea level. As part of the research on the increase in tensile strength during bending of CFC, extensive laboratory measurements were carried out and validated by isomorphic models of real roads, which enabled an increase in tensile strength during bending from 0.376 to 1.370 N∙mm−2 for basalt reinforcing mesh. The research results, verified through FEM (Finite Element Method) models of cycle pavements, demonstrated a possible reduction of total pavement thickness from 56 to 38 cm for rigid pavements and 48 to 38 cm for flexible pavements.

“…Numerous studies have investigated the impact of basalt fiber on the compressive strength of concrete, revealing divergent findings regarding its effectiveness. While some research suggests that specific percentages of basalt fiber enhance compressive strength (Algin and Ozen, 2018;Hassani Niaki et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2019), others indicate a decrease (Kabay, 2014;Sadrmomtazi et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2019;Li, et al, 2020;Sarkar and Hajihosseini, 2020). For example, after basalt fibre reinforcement, a certain amount of basalt fibre can raise the compressive strength of the concrete (Du et al, 2020).…”

This study investigates on the impact of basalt fiber reinforcement concrete in protected building and structures. Basalt fibers, derived from the melting of basalt rock at temperatures ranging from 1,500 to 1700°C, are recognized as sustainable and environmentally friendly fiber materials. Various studies have revealed differing optimal percentages of basalt fibers for enhancing the mechanical and chemical properties of concrete. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the effects of basalt fibre reinforcement on mechanical properties like tensile, compressive, and bending strengths. Additionally, performance indicators like void content, water absorption, chloride ion permeability, alkali and slag resistance, temperature stability, shrinkage characteristics, and abrasion resistance will be evaluated. Basalt fibre is typically utilised to increase the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, which has an impact in the effect on protected buildings and structures. The findings indicate that the most effective percentage range for improving mechanical properties lies between 0.1% and 0.3% of basalt fibers. Notably, concrete reinforced with basalt fibers demonstrates superior mechanical and chemical performance in alkaline environments compared to other fiber types. Moreover, the addition of 0.5% basalt fibers to concrete has been shown to significantly reduce chloride ion penetration, as evidenced by a decrease in RCPT load from 2,500 (C) to 1900 (C), indicative of enhanced chloride resistance. Reinforced concrete containing basalt fibers exhibits remarkable temperature resistance, withstanding temperatures exceeding 800°C due to its high-water absorption capacity. Additionally, basalt fibers exhibit resilience at temperatures up to 200°C. However, it is noted that the introduction of 0.14% basalt fibers leads to a slight increase in water absorption from 4.08 to 4.28. In general, basalt fibres are beneficial to many aspects of concrete; they strengthen resistance to temperature, alkali, acid exposure, and chloride while also improving mechanical qualities such as bending and tensile strength. The development of basalt fibres that extend building lifespans and improve concrete quality for structural engineering applications is making encouraging strides, according to all the results.
