Effect of Basalt Fibre on Air Content, Porosity and Compressive Strength of Concrete
Fibres are generally incorporated into cementitious composites to improve its ductility and prevent shrinkage of the mixtures. However, most of the fibres used in cementitious composites are expensive and their production process emits a large amount of carbon into the environment. Recently, basalt fibres have been developed as a sustainable and economical alternative to fibres such as steel. However, most of the studies on basalt fibre reinforced concrete have focused only on the shrinkage and flexural properties of concrete, while other effects on properties on the air content and porosity are limited. In order to bridge this huge knowledge gap, this study was carried out to investigate the effect of basalt fibres on other critical properties such as air content, porosity and compressive strength of concrete. Observations from this study showed that the incorporation of basalt fibre into concrete increased its air content and porosity which consequentially affects the resulting compressive strength of the composite.
