Abstract—This study delved into the application of basalt fiber bars
for flexural reinforcement in concrete elements, as well as the
utilization of chopped basalt fibers as an additive to augment the
mechanical properties of concrete. An effort is undertaken to
anticipate the influence of basalt fiber on the characteristics of M30
grade concrete across different basalt fiber proportions. Basalt fiber,
a relatively recent addition to fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) and
structural composites, shares a chemical composition akin to glass
fiber but boasts superior strength properties. Distinguishing itself
from many glass fibers, basalt fiber exhibits high resistance to
alkaline, acidic, and salt aggression, rendering it a promising choice
for applications in concrete, bridges, and shoreline structures.
Key words: BFRC, FRP.
