Abstract

This paper investigated the structural properties of concrete by using basalt fiber. The size of basalt fiber is
12 mm long and 13µ diameters were used in M 25 grade of concrete at 0% to 3%. In this study the compressive and split
tensile strength was determined after introducing basalt fibers in the concrete. Basalt fibers increase the structural strength
of conventional concrete, while adding upto 5%. The preliminary tests are done for basalt fibers, and the physical properties
like density, specific gravity and fineness modulus for raw materials are calculated. The cubes and cylinders of basalt fiber
reinforced concrete are casted cured and tested for 7 days and 28 days. Finally this paper discuss about the strength
variations and effects of basalt fibers in concrete under chemical curing conditions.
