Overview

Mechanistic assessment reveals basalt fibers improve compressive strength while reducing creep in concrete mixtures.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the influence of basalt fibers on the creep properties of alkali-activated slag concrete.
  • Developed fiber-reinforced alkali-activated slag concrete using basalt fibers of varying lengths.
  • Evaluated the impact of fiber length and stress-to-strength ratios on concrete creep.
  • Formulated a prediction model for the creep coefficient based on secant moduli measurements.
  • Basalt fibers effectively reduced creep in the concrete when used at optimal lengths.
  • Longer fibers decreased compressive strength and limited their effectiveness at high stress-to-strength ratios.
  • The creep coefficient was minimally influenced by fiber length, ensuring a balanced performance.
