The construction industry is always trying to find new, better and economical material to manufacture the new product, which is very beneficial to the industry. Today a significant growth is observed in the manufacture of composite material. With this also the energy conservation, corrosion risk, and sustainability is important when a product is changed or the new product is manufactured.
Such as the basalt fiber (BF) and basalt rebars are used in reinforced concrete, which is one of the high-performance non-metallic fibers made from basalt rock melted at high temperature. By considering the most effective mechanical properties of basalt fiber there are various applications such as civil engineering structures where RCC members required sufficient stability against the loads and stresses developed into the structures due to the seasonal effects. Basalt fiber is used to improve the strength of concrete structures.
In short, basalt fiber reinforced concrete offers more characteristics such as light weight, good fire resistance and strength. In future it is very beneficial for construction industry. Many applications of basalt fiber are residential, industrial, highway and bridges etc.
