Experimental Studies on Shear Performance of Beams Reinforced with Basalt Rebars for Different Shear Configurations
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Essential elements of it are important to acknowledge the variations as well as drawbacks between the application of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) bars and traditional steel reinforcement in structures made of concrete. Emphasis has been placed on expanding and creating new, more well-organized, sustainable materials to displace conventional steel rebar (rebar) utilized in concrete structural components. Additionally, having been deployed because of their excellent resistance to corrosion and low electrical resistance, characteristic steel rebars inside buildings made of concrete are the primary catalyst of this degradatioSn. Considering steel and basalt have densities of 7850 kg/m3 and 2600 kg/m3, respectively, which is around 3 times smaller than steel. As an outcome, the BFRP rebar is an environmentally conscious, lightweight alternative to the steel rebar used in construction. The article presents the current investigation on a sequence of beams maintained in bending, steel-clad with blocks in BFRP, in comparison with the location rays by blade support.
