Summary: This study investigates the effects of hybrid inorganic short-cut carbon fiber and basalt fiber on the rheological and mechanical performances of shale gas well cement. The results show that the combination of carbon fiber and basalt fiber not only does not affect the workability and pumpability of the cement slurry, but also improves its sedimentation stability, tensile strength, flexural strength, and mitigates the brittleness of the cement stone.

Summary: The study found that, under the same fiber volume ratio, basalt fiber grilles (BFG) were more effective in reinforcing the mechanical properties of concrete compared to chopped basalt fiber (CBF). BFG played a critical role in stress transmission, load-bearing, and energy absorption during the loading process of specimens, improving the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural properties of concrete. The analytical model proposed based on the equivalent stress rectangle theory showed good accuracy in predicting the ultimate flexural capacity of BFG reinforced concrete, as validated by experimental results.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the addition of basalt fibers on the mechanical properties, pore structure, and damage evolution characteristics of cemented tailings backfill (CTB). The results show that increasing the content of basalt fibers leads to an increase in micropores and secondary pores and a decrease in macropores in the CTB. The length of the fibers has a less significant effect on the pore structure compared to the content. Furthermore, the increase in basalt fiber content and length enhances the peak stress and peak strain of the CTB but decreases the elastic modulus. Basalt fibers also improve the ductility and bearing time of the CTB, with a length of 12 mm and a content of 1.5% having the best effect. The presence of basalt fibers in the CTB results in more cracks and slower crack propagation speed, indicating their bridging role in delaying the failure process. Lastly, a damage constitutive model is constructed to analyze the damage evolution law of CTB, with the content and length of basalt fibers having a positive impact on damage evolution.

Summary: The addition of basalt fibre can improve the mechanical properties of tailings, with little impact on the internal friction angle. With a constant length, the content is positively correlated with shear strength, cohesion, and compression index, reaching maximum at 6mm length. Permeability coefficient increases when fibre content exceeds 0.6%, with greater sensitivity to content than length.

Summary: This study investigated the performance and fire resistance of hybrid basalt-polypropylene fiber reinforced mortar. The experimental results showed that the compressive properties of the mortar specimens first increased and then sharply decreased with increasing temperature, while the trend of flexural strength was different. The use of hybrid fibers improved both the compressive strength and flexural strength of the mortar under certain conditions.

Summary: The high-temperature impact test was conducted on Basalt Fiber Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (BFRGC) to study the effects of temperature and basalt fiber on the dynamic mechanical properties of Geopolymer Concrete (GC). The results showed that BFRGC exhibited strain rate and temperature reinforcement effects, as well as high-temperature damage and plasticizing effects. The addition of an appropriate amount of basalt fiber enhanced the dynamic mechanical properties of GC at both room temperature and high temperature, with a fiber content of 0.1% producing the best results.

Summary: The study successfully transformed SFTs into ceramics using slip casting and atmospheric pressure sintering with LPG as the binding material. By conducting an orthogonal test, it was found that higher LPG mass ratio and sintering temperature lead to better mechanical properties in the ceramics. These findings suggest that low-temperature sintering of SFTs to produce ceramics with good mechanical properties is crucial for energy conservation and environmental preservation.

Summary: Among natural fibers, basalt fibers have recently emerged as the main candidate to replace glass fibers in composite materials. The aim is to optimize the load transfer efficiency between the two different phases in the composite by growing carbon nanostructures on the surface of unsized basalt fibers using less common catalysts. By lowering the synthesis temperature, the intrinsic properties of the basalt fibers were preserved and dense and uniform carbon nanostructures were obtained. These less common catalysts provide an expanded design strategy for obtaining composites with improved interfacial bonding and multifunctional properties.
