ON THE RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SELF-COMPACTING BASALT FIBER CONCRETE
Abstract
This article presents the results of experimental studies conducted to determine the rheological properties of self-compacting basalt fiber reinforced concrete and evaluate it according to international standards.In the conducted scientific research, a composite binder consisting of Portland cement, zeolite rock, and quartz sand was used as a binding agent for self-compacting basalt fiber reinforced concrete.The rheological characteristics of the developed basalt fiber concrete mixtures were determined and evaluated based on the requirements of international standards.This assessment demonstrated that they can be classified as self-compacting concrete mixtures (corresponding to the SF2 grade).It was established that all compositions of self-compacting concrete mixtures obtained on the basis of the developed composite binder comply with the requirements of international standards -EFNARC ( 2002) in terms of flowability and resistance to segregation.
