Abstract
This paper is to analyse the strength
development of FRC with the addition of Basalt Fibre
in Concrete. Attempt has been made to study the
effect of Basalt Fibre on the performance of M40
grade Concrete. This material may be used in
construction industry for the structural elements and
Airport runways. Concrete Cubes were casted to
study the characteristic compressive strength with
different ratios of Basalt Fibres. The fibres were
added at percentage of 0.5 to 3 with an increase of
0.5%. Prism specimens were also casted to study the
performance of flexural strength of concrete. The
specimens were tested after 7, 14, 28 days of curing.
The results shows an increase of 12 % in compression
and 38 % increase in flexure.
