Study on the hybrid effect of chopped fiber and basalt fiber textile on the flexural behavior of two-way concrete slabs by Hu Chaobin, Liu Xinrong, Jin Shun, He Mingjian, LI Liping, Liang Ninghui, Fu Changrong

“…Crucially, a hybrid system combining end-hooked steel fibers, chopped basalt fibers, and basalt fiber textiles achieved optimal synergy under a two-layer textile configuration, it delivered a 112.84 % increase in ultimate load and a 3.66-fold increase in ultimate deflection versus plain concrete, while providing significant toughening even with fewer textile layers, thereby optimizing material economy and applicability with strong engineering potential. Based on experimental data and mechanistic analysis, a theoretical model for textile slippage constraint incorporating fiber characteristics and interfacial interactions was established, providing a theoretical foundation for designing high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete.…”
