Improvement of the Cement Mortar Characteristics Reinforced with Basalt Fibers
Fibers derived from basalt rocks exhibit high strength and stability in aggressive environments and are environmentally benign. Consequently, in this study, basalt fiber (BF) was selected as a material to reinforce the mortar. The influence of BF content on the mechanical properties of cement mortars was investigated, and the optimal fiber concentration was determined to be 3.3 kg per 1 m3 of the mixture. The research was conducted on the filler-cement-fiber-water system, and the following results were obtained through analysis of experimental research: flexural strengths increased by 3.7-16.2% for mixtures prepared with river sand and 9.1-16.8% for those prepared with lithoidal sand. Additionally, compressive strengths increased by 3.1-13.7% when river sand was utilized as filler and 5.9-12.4% when lithoidal sand was employed. Developing cement mortar compositions incorporating basalt fibers up to 12 mm in length and lithoidal light and river sands, abundant in our republic, represents a scientific innovation that results in enhanced compressive and bending strengths.
