Expanded clay basalt fiber concrete: Solving structural defects caused by water penetration

The objective of this research paper is to analyze the materials which can be suggested for usage to solve the problem of structural defect caused by water absorption through penetration. Each of the concrete types was made in five concrete mix series of 0%, 0.45%, 0.9%, 1.2%, and 1.6% of chopped basalt fiber. Each of the concrete series was shared into two sets where the first set was tested for strength on the day 28 curing period while the...
