INFLUENCE OF POROSITY OF BASALT AGGREGATES ON FIRE RESISTANCE AND FREEZE-THAW DURABILITY OF FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE
Original language description
The amount of pores and their size are the key parameters for enhancing fire resistance and freeze-thaw durability of concrete. Air content in fresh concrete and subsequent air voids in hardened concrete can be modified by applied type of aggregates and also by type and amount of added fibres. The target is to define the optimal amount of pores, which are beneficial for escape of water vapour from concrete structure on event of fire, and still preserve concrete from penetration of liquid water with potential content of chemicals into the concrete structure. In this study, basalt aggregates from Iceland (water absorption approx. 5%) and from Czech Republic (water absorption less than 1%) were used for preparation of test specimens. Basalt is evaluated as one kind of mineral in terms of its chemical and mineral composition, but characteristics of basalt aggregates used for production of concrete vary owing to their porosity. As dispersed fibre reinforcement, polypropylene fibres (PP-fibres) and basalt f
