REAL EXAMPLES OF BFRP REBAR-BASED CONSTRUCTIONS

  BASALT FIBER VS STEEL Composite materials are nowadays successfully replacing steel in construction industry. But among reinforcing fibers, basalt fiber is the product of choice for this application. According to tests and experience, basalt fibers are very flexible, ductile and have a high mechanical strength. Their greatest advantage lies in their stability over time, which makes them suitable for use in different application. A lot of customers asked about the best choice for concrete reinforcement,  basalt fiber  or steel.This article shows the properties of basalt fiber versus steel fiber and explains which is more effective for concrete reinforcement.In general, Basalt Fiber is significantly stronger than steel fiber. Its durability is superior, and its tensile strength is 2.5 times that of steel. Basalt Fiber contributes to reduction in concrete coverage by 25 – 30%, and its weights 4.5 times less than steel fiber This means you’ll need less manpower to lift and ...

  THE GREEN INDUSTRIAL MATERIAL OF THE XXI-CENTURY Basalt Fibers are considered the green industrial material of the 21st century. The United Arab Emirates is the most environment friendly country in the Arab world. More than 25% of the energy of the United Arab Emirates come from clean sources. It’s no surprise that the United Arab Emirates hosts a number of innovative institutions and organizations that are devoted to discovering and promoting sustainable solutions around the world, including the International Renewable Energy Agency and the Global Green Growth Institute. Recently, Basalt fiber Rebar has gained attention from policymakers and decision-makers alike in the UAE as an alternative to steel Rebar in reinforcing concrete building structures. Why? because basalt fibers are considered the green industrial material of the 21st century. As a non-rusting, environmentally friendly alternative to steel rebar, Basalt fiber is entirely natural and made from volcanic rocks. Compa...

  BASALT FIBER COMPOSITE Basalt fiber is produced from a Basalt rock, which is a product of volcanic activity and can be found in a huge amount on the Earth, these composites are superior as they possess excellent properties such as sound insulation, heat and vibration and stability, high resistance to high temperature and possesses durability and strength. Basalt fibers composite  is a new type of material, which is made by blending basalt fiber with plastic. It has excellent physical and mechanical properties, such as high strength, good ductility, low density and so on. The applications of basalt fibers composite include but not limited to flooring and wall covering, industrial materials, shipbuilding, semi-conductor industry, etc. PROPERTIES OF BASALT FIBERS COMPOSITE Basalt fibers and their composites are a superior material in high temperature and tough environments, play an important role in composite materials. The following are some of the key properties of basalt fib...
