Behaviour of concrete beams reinforced using basalt and steel bars under fire exposure

Basalt bars for concrete reinforcement, known as basalt fiber-reinforced polymers (BFRPs), are new natural inorganic materials with distinct mechanical properties that have been used recently in the construction field. Generally, the FRPs bars have no yield before the brittle failure as steel bars and their behavior, when exposed to fire, is still under investigation, this paper presents an experimental and theoretical study to get more...
