Development of hybrid steel-basalt fiber reinforced concrete - in aspects of flexure, fracture and microstructure

Abstract The conventional concrete is considered to be critical in various constructional applications due to its setbacks such as service load failures, brittle property, low ductility and low tensile capacity. Apart from the natural bridging mechanism (aggregate bridging), an additional bridging m...
