REVIEW ON BASALT FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE

Abstract

The plane concrete is strong in compression and it has less strength capacity in tension. In order to overcome the defect of tensile strength capacity, fibre technology was used along with conventional reinforcement. Many fibres are available in the society as natural and synthetic fibres. The synthetic fibres plays major role for construction industry and those are steel, glass, carbon, polypropylene, nylon etc. In recent past the basalt fibres came into the industry as strength enhances material for concrete works. In
this view, the present article was focused to know the state of art in this area and same was presented in detail. This article may useful to extend the research work in this arena, who is interested in this area.
