Fresh, mechanical, and durability properties of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC): A review
Abstract
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.

There is a relative paucity of studies that analyze strain distribution, stiffness degradation, post-yield behavior, and failure mechanisms in fiber-reinforced concrete beams.
“Numerous investigations focus on ultimate load capacity or cracking patterns, and there is a relative paucity of studies that analyze the distribution of strains, degradation of stiffness, post-yield behavior, and mechanisms of failure [32,33].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
