This paper studies on the influence of impermeability in basalt fiber of C50 concrete, and the result was compared with the same dosage of polypropylene fiber. Experimental test show that after incorporating basalt fiber and polypropylene fiber concrete impermeability resistance were significantly improved, the impermeability of polypropylene fiber is superior to basalt fiber.

Concrete structure will be corroded under acid rain scouring and soaking for a long time, which has a great influence on its durability life. In order to further study the damage characteristics of fiber reinforced concrete under acid rain erosion, the formation mechanism of acid rain and its influence on the corrosion and deterioration of concrete and fiber materials were analyzed in this paper. Taking basalt fiber concrete as an example, the characteristics such as porosity, compressive strength and mechanical indexes were studied and analyzed. Moreover, the reasons for the optimal fiber content was briefly analyzed. The results show that the inner structure of basalt concrete mixed with 0.1% fiber was the most stable and the corrosion resistance was the most satisfying.This conclusion has certain reference significance for the corrosion damage research of fiber reinforced concrete.

With cooling tests on polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete and plain concrete that were initially subjected to different heating temperatures, the change of mechanical properties including mass loss, uniaxial compressive strength and microstructure were analyzed. The results show that the compressive strength of concrete tend to decrease with an increase in temperature. After experiencing high temperatures, the internal fibers of the polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete melted and left a large number of voids in it, thereby deteriorating the mechanical properties of concrete.

Mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete with polypropylene fiber, alkali-resistant glass fiber and basalt fiber separately were studied in this paper. The internal structure of fiber reinforced concrete was researched by testing chloride ion diffusion coefficient and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The results show that adding a certain amount of three fibers separately into concrete have all increased splitting strength. Compared with referenced concrete, compressive strength of alkali-resistant glass fiber reinforced concrete and basalt fiber reinforced concrete are both improved. According to analysis, the effect of srengthening and toughening for basalt fiber is particularly significant. The order of chloride ion diffusion coefficient from lower to higher is alkali-resistant glass fiber reinforced concrete, referenced concrete, basalt fiber reinforced concrete, polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete. This result indicates that alkali-resistant glass fiber bonds cement paste best and makes internal structure densest by SEM analysis.

The bending performance of a basalt-polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (HBPFRC) was characterized by testing 24,400 × 100 × 100 mm3 prismatic specimens in a four-point bending test JSCE-SF4 configuration. The type and content of both fibers were varied in order to guarantee different target levels of post-cracking flexural performance. The results evidenced that mono-micro basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) allows the increase of the flexural strength (pre-cracking stage), while macro polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PPFRC) can effectively improve both bearing capacity and ductility of the composite for a wide crack width range. Compared with the plain concrete specimens, flexural toughness and equivalent flexural strength of macro PPFRC and the hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC) increased by 3.7–7.1 times and 10–42.5%, respectively. From both technical and economic points of view, the optimal mass ratio of basalt fiber (BF) to polypropylene fiber (PPF) resulted in being 1:2, with a total content of 6 kg/m3. This HFRC is seen as a suitable material to be used in sewerage pipes where cracking control (crack formation and crack width control) is of paramount importance to guarantee the durability and functionality of the pipeline as well as the ductility of the system in case of local failures.

The Steel-polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete take full advantage of steel fiber’s macro-scale crack resistance function on the concrete as well as the polypropylene fiber’s micro-scale crack resistance and toughening effect on the concrete matrix. In this paper, the three kinds of concrete specimens including plain high-strength concrete, steel fiber reinforced concrete and steel-polypropylene fiber concrete are selected for a flexural toughness experimental study, their compressive strength and deformation performance are analyzed, and their toughness index are investigated with ASTM-C1018 and PCS(post-crack strength) method. The results show that steel-polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete has better strength and toughness property as well as deformation performance.
