Expanded clay basalt fiber concrete: Solving structural defects caused by water penetration

The objective of this research paper is to analyze the materials which can be suggested for usage solve problem structural defect caused by water absorption through penetration. Each concrete types was made in five mix series 0%, 0.45%, 0.9%, 1.2%, and 1.6% chopped basalt fiber. shared into two sets where first set tested strength on day 28 curing period while second soaked immersed at room temperature additional 96 hours after before testing strength. compressive expanded clay cube specimen showed an increase 34.71 MPa lesser than with 37.38 MPa. Similarly, conventional specimens 29.97 28. Expanded more flexural 2.921 2.895 water. flexure, up 1.917 1.733 Concrete containing fiber gave improves capability.
