Abstract

Incorporating Basalt Fibers composites that are caused by the melting process of basalt rocks into the concrete mixture to create the composite of the Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete (BFRC) is a good idea to enhance concrete's mechanical properties, thus the concrete structural performance. However, modern building materials must fulfill not only structural performance criteria but also reduce the environmental impact accompanied by their production. As informed by related literature in the field of BFRC, benefits linked with mechanical properties in terms of structural performance were illustrated widely. While there is only a very limited amount of information available on the impact of using BFRC in terms of environmental impact. Thus, this review identified this research gap and drew a potential linkage for how to assess the environmental performance of BFRC-based buildings to be used in future research which relies on sustainability perspectives.
