Experimental Investigation on Enhancing Properties of Concrete Using Ternary Blends and Basalt Fibers

  • Abstract:
  • Conventional concrete is brittle, has low tensile strength, and is prone to micro-cracking. This study investigates High Performance Concrete (HPC) by incorporating a ternary blend of cement, Class F Fly Ash, and Undensified Micro-Silica combined with 0.5% Basalt Fibers. The research aims to increase compressive strength while reducing cement consumption by 15%. Experimental results show that the hybrid concrete achieved a compressive strength of 45.40 MPa, marking a 21.06% increase over the control mix. The addition of fibers also resulted in controlled cracking and improved ductility
