Basalt to replace steel in concrete quay wall aprons: Evaluation of minibars and basalt reinforced polymer rebars to replace steel as reinforcement in quay wall aprons to reduce environmental impact.

An experimental research into the use of basalt as reinforcement in concrete to reduce the ECI value of a concrete quay wall apron. In this research experiments with basalt minibars and basalt reinforced polymer rebars are performed to compare directly to steel fibres and steel rebars. With the test results 4 designs are produced resulting in...
