| Abstract [eng] |
Innovations in construction materials are essential for creating resilient and sustainable structures. A significant alkalinity of Portland cement leads to corrosion of glass-type fiber-reinforced materials. The rate of fiber corrosion depends on numerous parameters such as temperature, ageing time, and chemical constitution of the fiber, but also the chemical composition of the ageing solution. There are known that basalt fibers have similar or better mechanical property – improved thermal and chemical stability – than that E-glass fibers. Basalt-boron fiber was derived from volcanic rock, and basalt fiber offers excellent strength and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal reinforcement material for concrete. Introducing boron compounds further enhances the fiber's properties, resulting in improved adhesion to concrete and increased resistance to extreme conditions. The inclusion of basalt-boron fiber in concrete products offers multiple advantages, the first of which is enhanced strength. This innovative blend significantly reinforces concrete, extending its service life and reducing maintenance costs. The next advantage is improved durability. The fiber's resistance to environmental factors, including corrosion and extreme temperatures, makes concrete products more durable. The latest one is reduced ecological impact. Basalt-boron fiber is eco-friendly, offering a sustainable solution for construction. This technology solution finds applications in many concrete products, from infrastructure elements to architectural designs, providing a lasting solution in a dynamic industry. Using basalt-boron fiber in concrete products showcases the potential for a sustainable and resilient construction future. As the construction industry evolves, innovations like this pave the way for enhanced performance, durability, and environmental responsibility. |
