Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate & compare the compressive, flexural & split tensile strength of plain M30 grade concrete with basalt fiber reinforced concrete containing 1 kg/m3, 3 kg/m3 & 5 kg/m3 basalt fibers at 7,28,56 and 91 days. The acid resistance tests were carried out on specimens by using 1% diluted sulphuric acid solution. The acid immersed specimens were tested for determination of compressive strength, split tensile strength & flexural strength after curing for 91 days. Similarly, the fire resistance tests carried out by using hot air oven at 100°C, 300°C for 1hour duration.
