Nowadays, the basalt is widely used in highway, airport, port, tunnels, bridges, reservoirs, ponds, basement project, civil defense project, etc.
Basalt with many pores, also known as pumice, is hard. And they can be mixed in concrete. Thus the concrete becomes lighter, durable and has characteristics of sound and heat insulation. Therefore, the basalt is a good aggregate used in lightweight concrete of high-rise buildings. And pumice is also a very good grinding material, which can grind metal and building stones. And it can be used as filter, dryer, catalyst, etc. Besides, the basalt can be widely acted as rockery and bonsai in gardens. In addition, it can be used for home decoration.
As basalt has advantages of excellent performance of compressive strength and abrasion, and low water absorption rate, it is a very good building decorating material which is widely used in indoor and outdoor decoration. And it is mainly used as a kind of outdoor building stone. Because it has natural textured pattern and it can well coordinate with surrounding landscape, it is very suitable for the construction of outdoor landscape. Moreover, for paving material, it is the best choice.
Among all building stones, the basalt is the best material for the building of road, railway and airport runway as it has merits of high compressive strength, strong corrosion resistance and wear resistance, less water absorption, poor electrical conductivity, etc. what’ more, it is internationally recognized as the best material in the development of railway and highway.
