Abstract

To understand the influence mechanism of basalt fiber (BF) on the strength of cement-based materials (CBM), we conducted a study examining the effects of BF with different lengths on the strength of CBM through indoor single-factor tests and microscopic techniques. Our findings reveal that when the length of BF is 6 mm, both the flexural and compressive strengths of fiber-reinforced concrete reach their maximum. Specifically, the 28-day strength of the BF-CBM specimens is 39.20% and 9.25% higher than that of ordinary Portland cement specimens, respectively. Under bending loads, the BF-CBM specimen demonstrates that BF absorbs a significant amount of energy, thereby preventing further crack propagation within the CBM matrix. This indicates that BF not only reinforces the CBM but also serves as a truss-like structure for hydration products, effectively enhancing the interfacial strength and compactness between the BF and the surrounding matrix. Overall, the results indicate that the addition of BF to CBM can lead to a slight increase in compressive strength while significantly enhancing flexural strength.
