Abstract
<jats:p>This study investigates the enhancement of mechanical properties of fine-grained concrete reinforced with basalt fibers for road pavement applications. Basalt fibers were incorporated into the concrete mixture at dosages of 0.5 %, 1.0 %, and 1.5 % by weight of cement to achieve micro-reinforcement of cement-concrete pavements. Experimental results were obtained by evaluating the compressive strength and flexural tensile strength of prepared specimens. The findings indicate that the inclusion of basalt fibers contributes to improved structural integrity of the cement matrix by limiting the formation and propagation of microcracks and macrocracks. Based on the experimental analysis, practical recommendations are proposed for optimizing the fiber content to ensure uniform distribution and formation of a dense and durable cementitious structure.</jats:p>
