The relationship between the compressive strength of HSC containing chopped basalt fibre stands (CBSF) and UPV was investigated. The concrete specimens were prepared using a different ratio of CBSF as internal strengthening materials. The compressive strength measurements were conducted at the sample ages of 3, 7, 28, 56 and 90 days; whilst, the ultrasonic pulse velocity was measured at 28 days. The result of HSC's compressive strength with the chopped basalt fibre did not show any improvement; instead, it was decreased. The UPV of the chopped basalt fibre reinforced concrete has been found to be less than that of the control mix for each addition ratio of the basalt fibre. A relationship plot is gained between the cube compressive strength for HSC and UPV with various amounts of chopped basalt fibres. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. date: 2015 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85063838120&doi=10.1063%2f1.4919148&partnerID=40&md5=d58e29e3472654c191e54a151cc0b939 id_number: 10.1063/1.4919148 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1669 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735413160 issn: 0094243X citation: Shafiq, N. and Fadhilnuruddin, M. and Elshekh, A.E.A. and Fathi, A.
