The volume fractions of basalt fibre of (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5% by total mix volume) were used. Properties such as heat transfer, compressive and splitting tensile strengths were examined. Results indicated that the strength increases with increase the fibre content till 0.3% then there is a slight reduction when 0.5% fibre used. Lower amount of heat conducted through the thickness of concrete specimens than the conventional concrete was also recorded.}, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {4}, year = {2013}, pages = {334 - 337}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2984}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/76}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 76, 2013}, }
