Overview

This study demonstrates how basalt fibers reduce plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete, highlighting its effectiveness in harsh environments.

Key Points

  • Increasing basalt fiber content reduced cracking area by 89% in harsh environmental conditions.
  • Lowering the water to cement ratio (W/C) from 0.5 to 0.3 increased crack mitigation efficacy of basalt fiber concrete.
  • Utilizing free plastic shrinkage tests allowed for precise evaluation of plastic shrinkage behavior under controlled conditions.
  • Findings support the use of basalt fibers to enhance structural durability in critical infrastructure applications.
