Abstract: Adding fiber can improve the brittleness of plain concrete. Compared with plain concrete, basalt fiber –reinforced concrete has the advantages of strengthening,toughening, and crack resistance. Compared with steel fiber-reinforced concrete, basaltfiber-reinforced concrete has better construction performance. Basalt fiber concrete is atype of inorganic material with environmental protection and high mechanical properties.The main aim is to study the effect of different proportions of basalt fiber added as 5%,10%, 15%, and 20% in the mix and to find the optimum range of basalt fiber content in the mix.
