“…Assessment of BFRC by replacing recycled aggregate from earthquake wastes with the varying proportions of 0, 50, and 100% with the fiber volume fraction of 0, 2, 4 kg/m 3 projected the improvement of bending properties in concrete with increase in addition of basalt fibers. Replacement of glass fibers with basalt fibers has been analyzed 36 under compression and bending for the volume fraction of about 2% of basalt fibers by using high range water reducer. The authors found that the basalt fibers were operational compared to glass fibers under bending.…”

The natural fibers are evolving in the construction industry in many forms due to its dominant characteristics since decades. This paper delivers a review of the behavior of basalt fiber reinforced concrete under static and dynamic loading conditions. The main aim of the paper is to signify the influence of basalt fibers in concrete as chopped fibers, minibars, rebars, and meshes by showcasing the physical and mechanical properties of the concrete. The proposed review paper furnishes a summary of obtainable evidence about the incorporation of basalt fibers in concrete under various loading conditions. The effect of size and volume fraction of the fibers in concrete subjected to static loading and dynamic loading is discussed and reviewed. Additionally, the optimum length, diameter, and aspect ratio of the fibers with its volume fraction depending on the constituents in concrete is exhibited. Basalt fibers, can operate as an exceptional reinforcing material which can replace the conventional reinforcement with appropriate implementation. Highlights Application of basalt fibers in concrete based on different loading conditions has been reviewed. Properties and applications of basalt fibers in various forms were assessed. Static and dynamic behavior of basalt fiber reinforced concrete has been summarized based on the studied literature. Addition of suitable forms and size of basalt fibers in concrete were examined. Parameters such as volume fraction, aspect ratio of basalt fibers has been highlighted.

“…BFs, which chemically speaking, have much similar composition as the glass fibers such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , CaO, P 2 O 5 , Cr 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , MgO, TiO 2 , K 2 O, Na 2 O, and FeO, possess interesting properties including high melting temperatures (range between 1350 and 1700 °C), high modulus elasticity, excellent heat resistance, and outstanding vibration isolators . Besides those promising properties, BFs are relatively cheaper than carbon fibers, non‐toxic and natural, which undeniably make them a good alternative to reinforce polymer materials. Up to this point, studies on the use of BFs as reinforcements for polymer composites have largely focused on pure engineering thermoplastic, thermosetting or their blends.…”

This present article investigates the effect of silane-treated basalt fibers (TBFs) on the morphological, mechanical and thermal properties of cyanate ester/benzoxazine (CE/BOZ) resin composites. The characterization was made using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), flexural test, impact strength (IS) test, microhardness test, dynamic scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The mechanical test results inferred the distinctive improvements in the values of the flexural strength and modulus, IS, and microhardness of the CE/BOZ composites. The thermal stabilities in terms of the T g , T 5% , T 10% , and T HRI were appreciably improved and were higher than those of the pure CE/BOZ resin. Data from the SEM and FTIR tests ascertained the good dispersion and adhesion between the TBFs and the resin matrix, which might be behind the significant enhancement in the ultimate performances of the composites, with respect to the distinguished properties of BFs.

Mechanical Properties and Wear Behavior of a Novel Composite of Acrylonitrile–Butadiene–Styrene Strengthened by Short Basalt Fiber

Polymer matrix composites (PMC) have a competitive and dominant role in a lot of industries, like aerospace and automobiles. Short basalt fiber (SBF) is used to strengthen acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymers as a composite. The composite material is fabricated using injection molding with a new technique to obtain a uniform distribution for the ABS matrix at an elevated temperature range from 140 • C to 240 • C. Four types of specimen were produced according to the mechanically mixed amounts of SBF, which were (5, 10, 15, 20) wt %. The produced material was tested for tension, hardness and impact to measure the enhancement of the mechanical properties of the ABS only and the ABS reinforced by SBF composite. Wear tests were carried out using a pin on disc at a velocity of 57.5 m/s at three normal loads of 5, 10 and 15 kN. Tensile strength increased with up to 5 wt % of SBF, then decreased with an increasing amount of SBF reinforcement, while surface hardness increased with increasing SBF. The impact strength was found to degrade with the whole increment of SBF. Wear resistance increased with the increasing SBF reinforcement amount at all applied normal loads.
