Abstract

Concrete is the most used construction material. The present trend in concrete technology is towards
increasing the strength and durability of concrete to meet the demands of modern construction. Basalt fiber is
considered a promising new material. It has good strength characteristics, resistance to chemical attack, sound
insulation properties. It has a wide range of applications like soil strengthening, construction of bridges, highways,
industrial floors. In this experiment, various proportions of basalt fibers are added with percentages 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3,
0.4, and 0.5%. In this experiment, we study the mechanical properties of Basalt fiber reinforced concrete. All the
specimens were cured for 28days. The addition of fly ash shows long-term strength. It was found that the ternary
system that is ordinary concrete Portland cement, fly ash, basalt fiber increases the mechanical properties of
concrete at all ages compared to concrete made with fly ash and basalt fiber.
