Effect of increased basalt fibre dosage on hybrid basalt fibre reinforced concrete's strength properties

Natural, eco-friendly fibers are increasingly being used as reinforcement in the creation of lightweight, low-effort polymer composites on a global scale. Because it is intelligent and has unique properties above glass fibers (GF), basalt fiber (BF) is one such material of interest that is currently in widespread use. Among these composites' clear advantages are their high specific mechanic properties, biodegradability, and non-grating nature. In this paper, basalt fibers used as reinforcement for composites are surveyed. The study also addresses how concrete's strength is affected by curing. In addition to this, an attempt is made to highlight the growing trend in research dissemination and activity in the area of basalt fibers. Further segments talk about the improvement in mechanical, warm and synthetic safe properties accomplished for applications in specific enterprises. The results of this study reveal that the optimum value of strength at 28th day of curing is obtained for a mix made with 5% of chopped basalt fiber 50% 6mm Long BF and 50% 12mm Long BF.
