Optimisation of mechanical properties and impact resistance of basalt fibre reinforced concrete containing silica fume: Experimental and response surface assessment

Although Basalt fibre reinforced concrete (BFRC) has a proven record of outstanding behaviour, concerns regarding the decline in its performance beyond certain content remains a major concern. To address this concern, a varying content of Silica Fume (SF) was introduced into the BFRC mix, and their...
