Abstract
Fiber reinforced composites designed for better thermal resistance, which can be used in constructions with a higher fire hazard, are studied. The matrix of studied composite is based on aluminous cement, because of its proved higher thermal resistance than ordinary Portland cement. Basalt sand is used as alternative aggregate replacing silica sand, and basalt fibers are employed for an improvement of mechanical performance. The presented analysis of basic physical properties, mechanical, hygric and thermal properties shows that basalt is an appropriate material for cement based composites for high temperature applications.
