        abstract = {In recent days, our country is experiencing a major problem in Corrosion and release of toxic gases - particularly in the field of Civil Engineering. There is a challenge for every Civil Engineer to get rid of this socio-economic problem. While in steel rebar manufacturing so many toxic gases are evolving like carbon monoxide, ammonia and Sulphur dioxide cause severe damage to the environment. Corrosion causing severe damage to sea shore structure especially it reduce the durability of the structure. In a view of this, the present investigation is aimed at reduction Corrosion and release of  toxic gases by the way of utilizing Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP).It is a new material, which is used in construction and civil applications as an alternative material to steel rebar. From the studies comparison of flexural strength of the steel with Basalt rebar is carried out. The experimental investigation and analytical investigation is evaluated the performance characteristics between two materials steel rebar and basalt rebar in concrete beams. The tested beams were made of M20 Grade concrete and reinforced with basalt rebar and steel rebar.  Testing made to find the flexural capacity of the beam and compressive strength of the cube. Results are compared between steel reinforced beams and basalt fiber reinforced polymer beams. From the test results showed that an improvement flexural strength and stress strain relationship and it confirms that the basalt fiber reinforced polymer is could be used as a good alternative material for reinforcement in beams.},
