HYBRID EFFECT OF MICRO-STEEL AND BASALT FIBERS ON PHYSICO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND DURABILITY OF MORTARS WITH SILICA FUME

Hybrid effect of micro-steel and basalt fibers on physico-mechanical properties and durability of mortars with silica fume

This study investigated the hybrid effects of micro-steel (MS) and basalt fibers (BF) on the physico- mechanical properties and durability of mortars with and without silica fume (SF).Three groups of mixtures containing SF contents of 0%, 10 % and 20 % as cement replacement were produced with the inclusion of 0.25 %, 0.5 and 0.75 % steel fibers and
