Experiment on the Crack and Deflection of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams

Abstract:

In order to research the influence of basalt fiber on the crack and deflection of the reinforced concrete beams, four basalt fiber reinforced concrete beams with the key parameters of length which were 12mm and 30mm and volume ratio which were 0.1% and 0.2% were designed and made. The test data was obtained through the bending experiment and the comparison with the common reinforced concrete beam. The result shows that it is obvious to control the crack and deflection of the test beams with the increasing of basalt fiber characteristic parameters. The calculation method of the maximum crack width of the basalt fiber reinforced concrete beams were presented based on the method of common concrete beam, which can provide the theoretical basis for the engineering practice.
