Walls of Interlocking Stabilised Soil Blocks (ISSBs) have been considered in low-cost houses around the world especially in developing countries. These were reported to be very weak in resisting the lateral load (e.g. wind or earthquake) without special considerations. In this paper, mechanical properties (compressive strength, elastic modulus, pre/post crack energy absorbed and toughness index) of ISSBs with three configurations and seven combinations of plain and fibrous mortar cubes are experimentally evaluated. Sisal fibre and rice straw (2% and 5%, by cement mass) were considered for fibrous mortar. Empirical equations were developed to predict elastic modulus. It was found that ISSBs had reasonable strength to be considered for masonry. The failure load and toughness index of 2% sisal fibre samples was improved by 10% and 16%, respectively, whereas 2.21 times enhancement was found in elastic modulus. Thus, 2% sisal fibre in plaster (i.e. reinforced coating) would likely improve the lateral resistance of interlocked masonry walling.

“…This could be of interest where cement-based components are exposed to lateral loading like wind and earthquake. Basalt-fibre reinforced mortar was tested by Zych (16) and Asadi (17). A 20% increase in bending strength and 15% reduction in compressive strength were found to be due to the addition of fibres.…”

“…Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) is a new type of composite material with high performance and relatively low cost. It has good durability and chemical stability as well as excellent electrical insulation, fire resistance, and thermal resistance [1][2][3]. Recently, BFRP has been developed for some applications in civil engineering [4,5].…”

This paper presented a durability experimental study for thin basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) mesh reinforced cementitious plates under indoor and marine environment. The marine environment was simulated by wetting/drying cycles (wetting in salt water and drying in hot air). After 12 months of exposure, the effects of the chloride on the tensile and bending behaviors of the thin plate were investigated. In addition to the penetration of salt water, the chloride in the thin plate could be also from the sea sand since it is a component of the plate. Experimental results showed that the effect of the indoor exposure on the tensile capacity of the plate is not pronounced, while the marine exposure reduced the tensile capacity significantly. The bending capacity of the thin plates was remarkably reduced by both indoor and marine environmental exposure, in which the effect of the marine environment is more severe. The tensile capacity of the meshes extracted from the thin plates was tested, as well as the meshes immersed in salt solution for 30, 60, and 90 days. The test results confirmed that the chloride is the reason of the BFRP mesh deterioration. Moreover, as a comparison, the steel mesh reinforced thin plate was also tested and it has a similar durability performance.

“…Basalt fiber is made from by the extrusion of melted volcanic basalt lava rocks. Good mechanical strength , high resistance to chemical attacks , low water absorption , good hardness , non‐flammable , high temperature resistance , biological stability/inactivity , good electric insulation , excellent sound, and thermal insulation are the key properties of basalt fiber, in comparison with other fibers. In recent years, a number of researchers have been highly interested with the determination of mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced composite materials and a lot of literatures have been published on tensile, flexural, impact, fracture, compression, creep, interlaminar shear strength, and abrasive wear properties of basalt fiber reinforced composites .…”

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) have increasingly gained importance among the scientific community as well as industry due to their high specific strength and light weight properties. However, CFRPs suffer from menace of high frequency vibration and low damping ability under normal operating conditions. This study aimed to experimentally investigate the effect of basalt fiber hybridization on vibration damping and tensile properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites. Interply hybrid composites with varying basalt fiber percentages were fabricated through vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process and the vibration damping properties were evaluated from frequency response curves using half‐power bandwidth method. The results showed that incorporation of basalt fiber into the carbon fiber/epoxy composites significantly affected and enhanced damping properties with the increase in volume fraction of basalt fiber content. However, the results from tensile tests displayed significant drops in tensile strength and tensile modulus. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:E2274–E2282, 2018. © 2017 Society of Plastics Engineers
