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.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the performance of high strength concrete (HSC) containing supplementary cementations materials.

Basalt America, a subsidiary of Paymeon Inc., is asking to enforce the building codes that regulate the use of basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) as the reinforcement of concrete.  The U.S. is budgeting $179.5 billion in highway and bridge repair in just 2017.

Fifteen double-span reinforced concrete beams (RC) with the addition of dispersed reinforcement were examined to determine the effect of the reinforcement on the shear resistance at the support area.

In order to study the basic mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced recycled aggregate concrete, the concrete mix ratio, the length and the volume mixing ratio of chopped basalt fiber yarn are designed for changing factors.

In this research, the mechanical properties of smart concrete made of chopped basalt fibers were investigated. Two different types of basalt fibers (bundles and filaments) were used.
