Abstract | In this paper, the fire structural resistance of a basalt fibre composite is determined experimentally and analytically. The basalt fibre composite is compared against an equivalent laminate reinforced with E-glass fibres. The fire structural survivability of the basalt fibre composite was inferior to the glass fibre laminate when exposed to the same radiant heat flux. The materials were weakened by thermal softening and decomposition of the polymer matrix and tensile softening of the fibre reinforcement, and these events occurred at similar temperature ranges and property loss rates. It was determined that the inferior fire resistance of the basalt fibre composite is due mainly to the material's lower emissivity which causes higher temperatures within the material for the same radiant heat flux. |
