The benefits of using basalt fiber or other FRP materials include their non-corrosive nature, making them a good choice for reinforcing concrete structures exposed to de-icing salts, such as bridge decks and parking garages.
They are also suitable for concrete exposed to marine environments, such as seawalls, breakwaters, buildings, or other structures near the shoreline.
Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) is a new material in civil engineering and has proven to be a promising material for infrastructure reinforcement.
