Nebraska located company (US) has developed a method enabling the construction of extremely strong buildings using precast concrete structures reinforced with basalt composites – mesh, rebar, and fiber.

Swedish marina builder SF Pontona has spent several years developing an entirely new method of constructing concrete pontoons reinforced with basalt fiber and corrosion-resistant steel.

High-performance concrete was prepared using varying dosages of nano-SiO2 and basalt fiber, and its compressive and tensile strength was measured.

The Project BasFlair of the Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University focused on basalt fiber reinforced concrete is recognized by Klima Expo. NRW.

The research paper Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete investigates various applications of basalt fiber, gives the properties of concrete reinforced with various percent size of the fiber.

The technique of externally bonding fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates on the tension side of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is already widely accepted as an easy to apply, corrosion resistant and effective solution due to the high strength as well as the low weight of the composite material.

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) are getting a new megatrend in reinforced concrete manufacture and application, announced Dr. Sanjay Mazumbe, chief executive officer of Lucintel, a global market research and management consulting firm, while speaking at the North American Pultrusion Conference.

Stilobit, a stabilizing additive containing basalt fiber, is manufactured by the subsidiary company of ОАО Uralasbest. It extends service life of the road surface, makes it resistant to rutting, and prevents segregation of asphalt mixture.

Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings designed for IS 456-2000 have been found to be weak in adequate seismic design provisions, capacity design considerations and detailing for ductile behaviour.

Traditionally, high yield steel has been the common method of providing reinforcement in concrete, primarily due to its high tensile strength. However, steel is susceptible to corrosion, particularly in aggressive environments, leading to potential durability concerns and high costs in repair and maintenance.
