COARSE FIBERS FROM ROCKS

Fibers receive from basalts and andesite-basalts melts in the form of three marks:

Characteristics coarse fibers

The name of parameters Mark I Mark II Mark III

Diameter, micron 80-150 151-250 251-400
Breaking strength, MPa, not less 200 150 80
Chemical stability, %
H2O 99,5-99,8
0,5 N Na OH 96,2-99,8
2 N Na OH 91,8-96,2

Coarse fibers possess not only low hygroscopic property, but also minimal water-retentive ability. In
comparison with glass, coarse fibers have greater vapor-water-alkali resistanc and more a heat of application.
Fibers are developed for disperse reinforcing concrete, ferro-concrete and asbestos-cement building products
and designs in industrial and rural construction.

Scope of fiber reinforcing:

Concrete floors, runways of the airports, high-speed motorways;

Industrial floors in shops where the heavy equipment is established;
Internal reinforcing of tunnels and channels, strengthening of slopes;
Repair and reconstruction of constructions;
Concrete water channels, fireproof designs;
Military constructions, aseismic buildings and constructions.

Advantages of the concrete reinforced by basalt fibers:

The total cost of construction of tunnels Decreases;

Thickness of a concrete layer can be reduced up to half of layer from usual concrete;
Terms of construction decrease in connection with absence of necessity to establish a wire grid;
In collectors and underground water channels thickness of a concrete covering essentially decreases,
and terms of construction shorter;
Necessity for reinforcing concrete floors disappears, owing to application of a fibre, and in this case
terms of construction decrease twice;
Cost of repair and service essentially decreases, owing to durability of the concrete reinforced by a
fibre;
Fatigue durability of the concrete reinforced by a basalt fibre Increases;
At reinforcing concrete, shock durability increases approximately in 20 times, fibers provide three-
dimensional hardening concrete in comparison with traditional armature which provides
two-dimensional hardening;
Fibers are not subject to electrochemical corrosion, unlike usual and the cathodic effect can test
armatures which is an electric conductor.
