Review of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Concrete in China: Alkali Resistance of Fibers and Static Mechanical Properties of Composites

Research on three-dimensional, randomly distributed BFRC in China is analyzed and summarized in relative depth in this study. The results indicate that the effect of the fiber component and alkali corrosion temperature on the alkali resistance of BF is significant; the BF has little effect on the co...

description Research on three-dimensional, randomly distributed BFRC in China is analyzed and summarized in relative depth in this study. The results indicate that the effect of the fiber component and alkali corrosion temperature on the alkali resistance of BF is significant; the BF has little effect on the compressive strength of the concrete; the tensile and flexural strengths of the composites significantly increase compared with plain concrete, and the fiber content has a significant effect on the strength. In light of some problems in the current research, six possible research topics are suggested: (1) investigating the alkali resistance of the BF under dynamic temperatures, lower alkali concentrations, and longer alkali corrosion times; (2) improving the alkali resistance of the BF by increasing its hydrophobicity; (3) determining the optimal fiber distribution orientation of the BF with various characteristic parameters; (4) establishing the calculation formulas for the critical content and critical aspect ratio of various types of BF; (5) determining the optimal mixture ratio of two or more fibers in the FRC while studying the complementary mechanisms between each other; and (6) improving the dispersion of the BF and the BF/matrix interfacial properties.
