Fresh, mechanical, and durability properties of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC): A review
Basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC) is relatively a new type of fiber-reinforced concrete, which has demonstrated good mechanical performance. Several types of fibers such as steel, glass, and carbon fibers, are used to improve the performance of plain concrete. However, basalt fibers (BF) are being considered superior to these because of their comparable mechanical strength, higher durability than glass fibers, lesser cost than carbon fibers, sustainability due to abundant raw material, and environment-friendly production process. Hence, the number of studies on BFRC are increasing over the years. This review paper covers the properties of BF and BFRC. The effects of BF length and dosage are discussed in detail in term of fresh, hardened, and durability properties of BFRC, followed by highlighting some areas for future research. It is concluded that BF can potentially replace the other conventional fibers which are being used in the industry.
