Last week I was very excited to read about the following use of basalt in Hawaii... The Hawaii County Department of Research and Development has laid the groundwork for three slabs of concrete that will act as prototypes for a sidewalk made of what is [...]
Much higher tensile strength than steel or fiberglass rebar of the same diameter: BCR is well over twice as strong in tension to prevent concrete cracking as grade 60 steel! 2. Strength + Zero rusting allows for thinner, lighter panels and decks: Since BCR does not rust or absorb water, the thickness of concrete cover can be reduced. This allows for thinner concrete sections, resulting in savings of materials and cost.
Flower beds made by Monolithic Domes using Basalt mesh and rebars! Concrete savings make up the price difference of steel rebars and the walls last and last!
