Abstract

Basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) has been widely utilized in various constructions such as buildings, large industrial floors, and highways, due to its excellent physical and mechanical properties, as well as low production cost. In order to address the influence of basic parameters such as fiber volume fraction (0.05∼0.2%), fiber length (6∼12 mm) of BF, Aspect ratio (600 ∼ 1200) and compressive strength of concrete on compressive strength, tensile and flexural strength, a series of standard material tests were conducted. After which a mix design for 25Mpa was found by the help of IS 10262. The proposed fiber length and content are 12, 6, 9mm and 0.10% respectively, the fiber diameter being 10 micro meter (based on availability).
