Abstract |
|
The purpose of this research paper to introduce new comer material "Basalt fiber" for structural retrofitting. Conventional material like Lime, cement, Sand, steel are regularly used in civil engineering industry. These materials are good for the new construction but it will not always solve the purpose for building retrofitting and strengthening. There are many technics used for retrofitting purpose like jacketing, FRP wrapping etc. This technics cannot work with conventional material. Currently Carbon fibers, Glass fiber and Aramid fibers fabric are mainly used for building retrofitting and strengthening works. Basalt fiber is a new comer in market. So the main purpose of this paper is to introduce basalt fiber, properties of basalt fiber, benefits and limitation of basalt fiber and mainly how it is useful in structural retrofitting. |
