In recent years, the development of multi blended mix concrete has gained attention due to its multiple advantages and environmental friendliness. This paper has attempted to examine mechanical properties of Multi blended concrete of M30 grade made with micro silica and basalt fibers. To reduce the deleterious effects of the production of cement on the environment, concrete is being developed by substituting admixtures like GGBS and Fly Ash in place of cement. Multi blended concrete developed with Fly ash and GGBS showed depletion in the mechanical properties. Micro silica & Basalt fibers were added to this mix additionally to overcome this deficiency. Initially four series of mixes of multi blended concrete were developed with a composition of Fly ash 20% and GGBS 30%, 40%, 50% & 60% as replacement of cement. For better performance, micro silica at 5% by weight of cement and Basalt fibers at 0.2% by volume of concrete were added. The mechanical properties such as Split tensile & Compressive strengths were studied at the age of 7 & 28 days. The results showed that M30 grade multi blended concrete can be achieved with 30% GGBS, 20% fly ash, 5% micro silica, 0.2% basalt fibers.

Basalt fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites with different fiber contents (i.e. 0 wt%, 10 wt%, 30 wt% and 50 wt%) were prepared by hot-press sintering. Microstructure analysis indicates that basalt fibers are uniformly distributed in 10% basalt fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composite. The interfacial bonding between basalt fibers and aluminum matrix is good, and there is no interface reaction between basalt fiber and aluminum matrix. Quasi-static tensile, quasi-static compression and dynamic compression properties of basalt fiber reinforced aluminum composites were studied, and the influences of basalt fiber content on mechanical properties were discussed. Meanwhile, the failure mechanisms of basalt fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites with different fiber content were analyzed.

Basalt Fibers

The efficacy of fiber reinforced concrete in various application of civil engineering is unassailable. It is a heterogeneous material that includes the fibrous substance which increases its structural integrity and cohesion. In recent years, continuous basalt fibers extruded from naturally basalt rock are attracted attention due to its high temperature and abrasion resistance. Basalt fibers has emerged as a contender in fiber reinforcement composites. This paper aims to evaluate the outcome of basalt fiber on the mechanical strength of concrete and also identify the content that have a optimum influence on concrete. Compressive, split tensile and flexural strength of basalt fiber reinforced concrete is increased than the control concrete. The experimental study shows that the mechanical strength of concrete is increased up to 0.9% of basalt fiber in volume fraction. From the result it is observed that the optimum content of Basalt fiber is 0.9% and the ability of basalt fiber to arrest the cracks area indicated as reason for escalation in mechanical properties.

Actual Effectiveness

Basalt fiber (BF) has a lot of advantageous properties. The actual effectiveness of the fiber depends greatly on their dispersion degree in the composites. With the help of ultrasonic wave and a dispersant carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), the even dispersion of short basalt fibers in water is realized. The fluidity of the basalt fiber cement mortar becomes less as the fiber content increasing. When the fluidity of mortar of BFRC is greater than 170mm, the even dispersion of short basalt fibers in BFRC can be realized. Fly ash can effectively improve the fluidity of BFRC and the density of cement matrix. When the amount of fly ash replaces the cement less than 25% by weight, it can improve both the compressive strength and tensile strength at age of 28 days.

In order to explore the influence of basalt-polypropylene hybrid fiber on the static mechanical properties and dynamic compression properties of fly-ash concrete, 16 groups of basalt-polypropylene hybrid fiber fly-ash concrete (HBPC) and 1 group of benchmark concrete were designed and prepared. The slump, static compressive strength, static splitting tensile strength, and dynamic compressive performance tests were tested. At the same time, the mechanism of the mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced fly-ash concrete was analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the failure of the benchmark concrete is mainly brittle failure. Compared with the benchmark concrete, the static compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of HBPC are significantly enhanced. Basalt-polypropylene hybrid fiber, polypropylene fiber, and basalt fiber, are extremely significant factors affecting the slump, static compressive strength, and static splitting tensile strength of HBPC, respectively. The peak stress of the benchmark concrete and HBPC increases with the increase of the loading air pressure, showing a certain strain rate effect. SEM shows that the fibers have good dispersibility in the concrete and good adhesion with the concrete matrix interface, but excessive fibers will cause fiber agglomeration, which increases the internal defects of HBPC.

In this experiment, the effects of polypropylene thick fiber (PPTF) with different volume admixtures (0, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.20%, 0.25%) on the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and bending strength of large admixture of slag fly ash concrete were investigated with short-cut basalt fiber (BF) as a reference. The results show that the polypropylene thick fiber can work well with basalt fiber and improve its strengthening effect of single admixture. And 0.10% of polypropylene thick fiber and 0.10% of basalt fibers by volume have the best strengthening effect on the mechanical properties of the large amount of slag fly ash concret.

Constituent Elements

Composite materials have significant role in automobile and aerospace applications because of their attractive mechanical properties compared. This fascinating properties attracted several industries especially automotive sectors. In contrast to metallic alloys, composite materials composed of individual constituent elements with distinguishable interfaces and chemical identities, however, when combined e-glass and basalt fiber, they will produce superior properties. The fundamental advantage of composite materials is their high specific strength and specific stiffness, which emphasis on its weight saving potential in the finished part. Two principal constituent elements of composites are matrix and reinforcement materials. In the present work, an attempt has been made to understand the advancements achieved in the combination of e-glass fiber and basalt fiber composites. Based on the comprehensive literature review, it is observed that broad work was done on the manufacturing techniques and characterization of the composites, however, limited works were carried out in analyzing the tensile, flexural and shear strength properties of differently oriented fibers in the laminated composites. In this paper, focus was given in fabricating and characterizing the glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates with different fiber orientations, thereby, examining the mechanical properties of prepared laminates for tensile and bending strengths.

Structural Applications

New technologies in the automotive industry require lightweight, environment-friendly, and mechanically strong materials. Bast fibers such as kenaf, flax, and hemp reinforced polymers are frequently used composites in semi-structural applications in industry. However, the low mechanical properties of bast fibers limit the applications of these composites in structural applications. The work presented here aims to enhance the mechanical property profile of bast fiber reinforced acrylic-based polyester resin composites by hybridization with basalt fibers. The hybridization was studied in three resin forms, solution, dispersion, and a mixture of solution and dispersion resin forms. The composites were prepared by established processing methods such as carding, resin impregnation, and compression molding. The composites were characterized for their mechanical (tensile, flexural, and Charpy impact strength), thermal, and morphological properties. The mechanical performance of hybrid bast/basalt fiber composites was significantly improved compared to their respective bast fiber composites. For hybrid composites, the specific flexural modulus and strength were on an average about 21 and 19% higher, specific tensile modulus and strength about 31 and 16% higher, respectively, and the specific impact energy was 13% higher than bast fiber reinforced composites. The statistical significance of the results was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance.
