Abstract
Concrete is the fundamental element in the construction activity which advancement enhances the durability properties. To achieve the strength of concrete within short time various curing techniques are available. One such curing technique is exposing concrete to carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide gas is the abundantly released gas from the industries which pollutes the environment & also a main reason for the greenhouse effect. By utilizing carbon dioxide gas in construction activities, environmental pollution can be minimized. This study is about the investigation of mechanical properties of basalt fibre reinforced concrete subjected to conventional and carbon dioxide curing methods. Specimens are prepared of M25 grade concrete with 0, 1, 2, and 3, 4 Kg/m3 basalt fibres. Compressive strength and split tensile strength tests are performed to specimens after 28 days of conventional curing and 2.5 hours of carbon dioxide curing.
