6. Introduction Basalt is well known as a rock found in virtually every country round the world. Basalt is a mafic extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of magnesium- rich and iron-rich lava exposed at or very near the surface of a terrestrial planet or a moon. More than 90% of all volcanic rock on Earth is basalt. Basalt lava has a low viscosity, due to its low …
The basalt fibre used in this study was manufactured in Russia and exhibited the tensile strength of 1000 MPa, which was about 30% of the carbon and 60% of the high strength glass (S-glass) fibre. From the accelerated weathering test, the basalt fibre was found to provide better resistance than the glass fibre.
The recent advances in fiber production technology allows the manufacturing of basalt fibers made up of natural basalt rocks. It has a wide range of appearances all around the world.
Basalt fiber is a textile innovation developed to be utilized in fiber-reinforced composites and structural applications. It has a similar chemical composition as glass fiber, but has better quality attributes, and is dissimilar to most glass filaments as it is impervious to basic, acidic and salt attack.

The fibre length for carbon fibre, which gave the maximum increase in properties, was 10–15 mm. For basalt fibre, the maximum bending strength was reached at 20 mm and compressive strength at 10 mm. Increasing the content of carbon fibre above 2% and basalt fibre above 1.5% did not give further increase in mechanical properties.
