Abstract :Basalt fiber is a new inorganic fiber type that has recently taken attention in cementitious materials reinforcing applications. In this study, the effect of the chopped basalt fiber inclusion and volume fractions on workability, mechanical properties, and capillarity of mortars were investigated. Lightweight mortars (LWM) were prepared by partial replacement of river sand with pumice aggregate as 0%, 25%, and 50% by volume. The chopped basalt fibers with a volume fraction of 0%, 0.25%, and 0.5% were utilized in LWM mixes. According to the applied tests, it was concluded that the increase of pumice aggregate content is significantly effective on obtained values, whereas, the influence of adding basalt fiber is changeable for the performed test results. Additionally, the statistical analysis of experimental results was implemented by general linear model ANOVA.
