changes in moisture content and temperature can perturb both stiffness and strength and as such the impact resistance of composite structures. in this paper, the pre-notched basalt fibre reinforced epoxy (bfre) composite specimens are studied under charpy impact loads in order to investigate the changes in impact energy absorption (fracture toughness) with different kinds of aging conditions. t...

Basalt and its reinforcement fibres are highly corrosion resistant, which extends life lowers production costs while improving shear flexural strength. Despite the fact that previous study has only concentrated on mechanical properties of composite fibres. A brief examination was conducted to better understand reinforced concrete constructions made from basalt their reinforcements. This examine...

Abstract This present study demonstrates the applicability of basalt fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite materials in thermal shielding. Basalt fibres are produced from natural, sustainable sources and obtain comparable mechanical performance to commercial glass fibres. In addition their strength, BFRPs have excellent chemical heat resistance. tend a higher stability than competitor The r...

The application of stabilised soil in agricultural construction works such as shallow foundation fills and subgrade material for farm roads is demand due to the improved geotechnical properties. This study focused on improving compressive capabilities permeability characteristics rice husk ash (RHA)-treated clayey soils using basalt fibre. Basalt fibres are made from naturally occurring rock, y...

Natural fibre reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) foams, as potential green replacements for petroleum-based polymer foams, were investigated. Highly porous (ε > 95%) microcellular PLA foams were manufactured by supercritical CO2 assisted extrusion process. To overcome the inherent low melt strength of PLA, epoxyfunctionalized chain extender was applied, while talc was added to improve its crystal...

Abstract The pore-structure characteristics of hybrid basalt–polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete were investigated by using mercury intrusion porosimetry. applicability various fractal models in characterising the HBPRC pore structure was compared. results show that types and content fibres different influences on cumulative volume basalt-polypropylene concrete. Compared with pore-volume so...

In this paper, a new shape memory alloy (SMA) hybrid basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite laminate was fabricated and a new surface modification method with both silane coupling agent KH550 and Al₂O₃ nanoparticles was conducted to enhance the interface performance. The mechanical performance of BFRP composite laminates with and without SMA fibres and the influence of SMA surface mod...
