Fibre-reinforced concrete is an emerging trend that delivers new materials with high quality for construction. Basalt fibre, an mineral fibre, has high potential to be used for reinforcing concrete, but there has been little research conducted into using this fibre for concrete reinforcement worldwide and no research work on this fibre reinforced concrete has been published in Vietnam. Therefore, researching into Baslat fibre reinforced concrete to establish fundamental understandings and material mixture recommendations is considered to be scientifically significant and practically worthwhile, especially for the climate and construction conditions in Vietnam. With the use of theoretical and experimental research methods, a procedure for designing the composition of Basalt fibre reinforced concrete was achieved and presented in this paper.
