The Considerations on Flexural Performance of RC Beam Strengthened with Basalt Fibers

Basalt 섬유로 보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 휨 성능 고찰

Fibers have been used to improve tile flexural performance of reinforced concrete. Therefore many different kinds of fibers have been developed and tested to reinforcing concrete. Basalt fiber is one of the recently developed materials for this purpose. Basalt fiber produced from this basalt raw material has high initial strength and durability. But, the main advantages of the basalt fiber are resistance to high operating temperatures and lower modulus and chemical resistance compared to fiberglass. Also basalt fiber may be consumed as a potential replacement for expensive carbon fibers.
