Tensile mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced polymer tendons at low to intermediate strain rates

Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) tendons are well known for their day-by-day increasing applications in infrastructural engineering. Advantages like high corrosion resistance, low-cost and environment-friendly features make BFRP tendons one of the best alternatives for metal-based (for example steel) reinforcement. Civil engineering components are always under high risk of earthquake, explosion or any impact/collision situation. Therefore,...
