BF reinforced composites and research progress of their application in concrete structures
Basalt fiber(BF)is a new type of material prepared from natural ore through high temperature melting and drawing,which has excellent mechanical properties and weathering properties and obvious cost-effective advantages.Firstly,the characteristics of BF are summarised.Secondly,the product types of BF(chopped BF,spliced BF,BF fabrics,etc.)are briefly described,and the progress of research on its application in the field of concrete is introduced.Finally,the application prospects of BF in the field of concrete are discussed.
