Bio-inspired self-prestressing concrete (SPC) involving basalt fibers and expansive agent by Chu, S. H., Khan, M., Deng, X., Unluer, C.

“…Inspired by muscle structure, the synergy between basalt fibers (BF) and expansive agent (EA) was revealed and utilized for the development of self-prestressing concrete (SPC). When BF and EA were used together, the restraining action of BF against the autogenous expansion of concrete yielded active confining stress, during which fibers were prestressed, producing SPC. …”
