description This investigation deals with the prediction of mechanical behavior in basalt-fiber-reinforced concrete using the finite element method (FEM). The use of fibers as reinforcement in concrete is a relatively new concept which results in several advantages over steel-reinforced concrete with respect to mechanical performance. Glass and polypropylene (PP) fibers have been extensively used for reinforcing concrete for decades, but basalt fibers have gained popularity in recent years due to their superior mechanical properties and compatibility with concrete. In this study, the mechanical properties of basalt-fiber-reinforced concrete are predicted using FEM analysis, and the model results are validated by conducting experiments. The effect of fiber-volume fraction on the selected mechanical performance of concrete is evaluated in detail. Significant improvement is observed when the loading is increased. There are superior mechanical properties, e.g., load bearing and strain energy in basalt-fiber-reinforced concrete as compared to conventional concrete slabs reinforced with gravel or stones. The results of the simulations are correlated with experimental samples and show a very high similarity. Basalt-fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC) offers a lightweight construction material as compared to steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC). Further, the problem of corrosion is overcome by using this novel fiber material in concrete composites.
