EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON STRENGTH AND SCC CHARACTERISTICS OF BASALT FIBER REIN...IAEME Publication
Concrete is second most widely used material other than water, its more versatile but modern day engineering structures require more demanding concrete owing to the huge applied load on smaller area and increasing adverse environmental conditions. Many materials were studied as impregnation agents to concrete to enhance its quality, strength and durability, in this work we had tried to utilize Basalt fiber as a strength enhancement agent in Self compacting concrete to obtain higher strength values in tandem with good workability. Promising results were obtained in the self compacting nature by using simple admixtures such as VBA, workability agents etc. Rheological properties obtained suggested that the concrete is not only highly workable but also possess high durability and versatility. The SCC slump value varied from 620 to 760 mm with good compressive strength in the range of 25-32 N/mm2.

A review of the effect of basalt fibre lengths and proportions on the mechani...eSAT Journals
Abstract
During the past few decades, the concrete construction field has seen a growing interest in the advantages that fibre reinforcement has to offer. Between the different types of fibres available, basalt fibre is considered a promising new material to use. It has extremely good strength characteristics and thermal resistance, high resistance to an alkaline environment, and is cheap product, making it an excellent material to reinforce concrete. In view of the significance of basalt fibres for concrete, and because different lengths and proportions of basalt fibres have an effect on the mechanical properties of concrete, it is proposed to review the effect of using different basalt fibre lengths and content on the mechanical properties of concrete. The mechanical properties of concrete reviewed are compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, permeability, workability, and unit weight. This paper has for the first time reviewed the current literature related to the effect of using basalt fibres of different proportions on the mechanical properties of concrete, provided future researchers with the information and facts needed to compare their work, and identified the best basalt fibre length and content combination that demonstrates an improvement in the mechanical properties of concrete. From reviewing the literature, it was found that most authors agreed that the mechanical properties of concrete improved significantly when using basalt fibres with a length between 12mm and 24mm, and content between 0.1% - 0.5% by total volume. In this context, the length and content of basalt fibres in concrete becomes an important parameter for the mechanical properties of concrete.

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block is a building material made of Portland cement, fine aggregates (fly ash or sand), water and an expansion agent in an autoclaving process heated under pressure which results in the production of air voids in the material, making it less dense, easy to cut/mould and better insulating

Types of Materials:
Bricks
1. Hollow Blocks
2. Green Bricks
Making & Use
Differentiate green bricks for the materials they are constructed and there are several proposals (in line or already in progress) of bricks with different components:
Coal ash: This was an idea of a civil engineer, Henry Liu, in 1999, with a double environmental benefit. With this material the bricks are obtained at 212 degrees in 10 hours and take advantage of 45 million tons of the waste generated by coal power plants.
Hemp and straw: This brick and green has been used by Spanish companies. Despite the apparent fragility of the material hardness is similar to conventional ones. They have the disadvantage of being more expensive but well isolated from the outside temperature. This represents a savings of energy expenditure for heating and air conditioning, so that pays the price soon.
Used plastic and peanut shells: ecological bricks of this material are a creation of the Experimental Center for Economic Housing in Argentina who says they are tough, lightweight insulation and economic. In addition to producing energy savings possible recycling of waste for production.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON EFFECT OF SHEAR CONNECTOR IN LIGHT WEIGHT CONCRETEIAEME Publication
Composite construction is well established for some decades as a construction method. The light steel gives two advantages which are cheaper and lighter. One of the important parameters which affects the ultimate strength of the composite section is the bond at the interface of the steel
and the concrete which relies on the shear forces existing between the steel section and the concrete core where mechanical connectors are provided. Based on the literature survey, Stud connectors are to be used in this experimental work, because of its excellent load carrying capacity and better
ductility.

Advantages of composite
materials via metal:
✓No corrosion.
✓4 times lighter than steel.
✓2 times stronger than steel.
✓100 times less thermal
conductive.
✓Similarity in thermal expansion
coefficients from the
composites and concrete.
✓Resistant to aggressive
environments like: acids, alkalis,
and salt solutions.
✓Diamagnetic and insulators.
✓Easy to carry ( twisted coils).
✓Resistant to negative

The world economy is an active
process of replacing traditional
materials by polymer
composites reinforced with
different fibers and, in
particular, by glass and basalt
fibers.
Design of composites for
various functional purposes
becomes increasingly
important, especially for
regions with specific climate
conditions; proximity to marine
areas, wetlands soils, region
with extreme temperatures-
deserts and permafrost.
11. BASALT COMPOSITES – TWENTY FIRST CENTURY MATERIALS
11
Nowadays composites based on BASALT fibers are becoming more
popular as compared to fiberglass.
REASONS:
1. More superior behavior:
✓ Higher chemical resistance (3 times higher to alkali, 10 times
higher to acids other aggressive environments).
✓ 5 times lower hygroscopic capacity.
✓ Lower porosity.
2. To produce the basalt fibers the only material needed is basalt
itself created by nature, whereas for glass production a special
multi-component mixture is required.
3. The raw sources of basalt are virtually unlimited. Basalt deposits
are the most common in the world of rocks of magmatic origin.
