The macroscopic aspects of adding basalt fiber (BF) to concrete has been the subject studies that document great increases in compression strength. Research into microscopic reinforcement mechanism is still an exploratory stage, and quantitative analysis visual observation fibers matrix are difficult. In this paper, effect on studied by means computed tomography (CT) scanning technology digital...

Induction heating was used to join basalt fiber reinforced polymer laminates (BFRPL) using the process called inductive contact joining (ICJ). Two other mechanical processes, nut and bolt (NB) two-piece hollow riveting (2PR), were compared ICJ. The obtained joints evaluated tensile shear tests by analyzing fractured surfaces. Furthermore, simulation of ICJ estimate effective parameters. Joints ...

The paper presents two experimental methods for basalt processing by microwaves, and their results. One method employs a single-mode cavity to melt basalt, and to produce a volcanic glass (obsidian). The other method uses an open-end applicator (i.e. a microwave drill [1]) to form holes in basalt rocks. Experimental observations of the basalt interactions with microwaves in these two schemes ar...
