Study on The Mechanical Properties of Steel - Basalt Fiber Composite Reinforcement (SBFCBs)

Abstract

Steel bar and Basalt Fiber are combined to obtain a new structural material with high strength, high elastic modulus, high toughness, corrosion resistance, low cost and other excellent comprehensive performance: Steel Basalt Fiber Composite Bars (SBFCBs). In this paper, three different types of composite bars were tested by monotonic tensile tests, and the failure patterns of steel bars were introduced in the process of stretching, and the yield strength, ultimate strength, elastic modulus and stress-strain curves of steel bars were obtained. Test results showed that the stress-strain curve of SBFCBs was obviously double-folded, and SBFCBs exhibited stable post-yielding stiffness after the reinforcement yielded. The stress-strain curve model of SBFCBs under uniaxial tension was derived according to the material’s compounding rule. By sorting the experimental data and comparing it with theoretical values, we could prove the accuracy of the model.
