In accordance with Indian Standard specifications, this study explores the creation of high-strength concrete (HSC) especially intended for use on Indian airport runways by combining different pozzolanic materials and basalt fiber reinforcement. Based on IS 456:2000, IS 8112:2013, and DGCA guidelines, the study investigated the effects of basalt fiber content (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% by volume) and pozzolanic materials such as fly ash, metakaolin, and silica fume on early-age mechanical properties, skid resistance, and durability characteristics pertinent to Indian airport pavement requirements. The results show that 0.2% basalt fiber content and 10% silica fume replacement provide the best results, with 28-day compressive strengths of 76 MPa and flexural strengths of 10.8 MPa, which greatly surpass Indian airport pavement requirements. Adding basalt fiber made material more resistant to fatigue, impact, and also surface texture. This study offer critical data for the formulation of high-performance concrete pavement designed to experience substantial aircraft loads and the varied climatic condition of India, which range from tropical to temperate zones.

摘要

In accordance with Indian Standard specifications, this study explores the creation of high-strength concrete (HSC) especially intended for use on Indian airport runways by combining different pozzolanic materials and basalt fiber reinforcement. Based on IS 456:2000, IS 8112:2013, and DGCA guidelines, the study investigated the effects of basalt fiber content (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% by volume) and pozzolanic materials such as fly ash, metakaolin, and silica fume on early-age mechanical properties, skid resistance, and durability characteristics pertinent to Indian airport pavement requirements. The results show that 0.2% basalt fiber content and 10% silica fume replacement provide the best results, with 28-day compressive strengths of 76 MPa and flexural strengths of 10.8 MPa, which greatly surpass Indian airport pavement requirements. Adding basalt fiber made material more resistant to fatigue, impact, and also surface texture. This study offer critical data for the formulation of high-performance concrete pavement designed to experience substantial aircraft loads and the varied climatic condition of India, which range from tropical to temperate zones.
