In recent years, basalt fiber (BF) has been extensively used as a reinforced fiber to improve
the mechanical properties and durability of concrete because of its excellent mechanical …

Basalt fiber is a natural mineral fiber that offers environmental protection and favorable
mechanical properties. It is in fact a silicate material, which is highly compatible with cement …

This study investigated the importance of applying explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) on
different machine learning (ML) models developed to predict the strength characteristics of …

Blending a certain proportion of basalt fiber into concrete improves the toughness of
concrete, which prevents cracking and avoids the brittle behaviors. In this paper, the …

The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

This study focuses on the mechanical properties and microstructure of a new recycled-
concrete incorporated with basalt fiber (BF). For the BF-reinforced recycled concrete …

Basalt fibers are a type of reinforcing fiber that can be added to concrete to improve its
strength, durability, resistance to cracking, and overall performance. The addition of basalt …

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect ofnano-SiO2 and steel fiber
content on the durability of concrete. Five different dosages of nano-SiO2 particles and five …

This paper presents the simultaneous effect of basalt fibre (BF) and mineral admixtures (fly
ash and silica fume) on the resistance of concrete to chloride penetration at different curing …

Incorporating fibers to cement-based composites can greatly improve the mechanical
properties of the fiber reinforced cement-based composites (FRC). Specially, the …
