Fibre-reinforced shotcrete (sprayed concrete) is one of the major components in support system for tunnels hard rock. Several empirical design methodologies have been developed over years due to complexity and many uncertainties involved rock design. Therefore, this paper aims highlight how choice methodology fibre type impacts structural capacity lining emission greenhouse gases (GHG). The sta...

Basalt fibre composite materials have shown good application prospects in electrical equipment, but their reliability can be affected by damp-heat ageing. In this work, the interface, mechanical, and properties of basalt composites treated with three coupling agents via ageing were compared. Molecular simulations conducted to reveal mechanism composites. The results show that γ-aminopropyl trie...

In recent years, even if Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used for strengthening of civil buildings, a new generation of materials has been studied and proposed for historical masonry construction. These buildings, mainly made of stone work, are common in many areas of Europe and Asia and recent earthquakes has been the cause of many catastrophic failures. The brittlen...

1 ide (mineral name: eskolaite) for the glass tank's lining. Due to its low solubility in the glass melt, the corrosion resistance of the fireproof material is remarkably improved. Though, a high commodity price and an extensive preparation and processing causes a high price. That condition poses the question, how high or low the eskolaite content has to be, depending on its position in the gla...

The aim of this study is to determine the stress-strain behavior basalt fibred concrete experimentally. Cylinders standard size 150 x 300 mm are cast with and without fibres tested in uni-axial compression under strain control as per IS: 516-1999 understand concrete. After developing empirical equations for curves concrete, theoretical values stresses calculated at different strains based on de...
