Basalts are composed primarily of magnesium oxide (MgO) and calcium oxide (CaO) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) with Al2O3. It has several industrial applications, including building materials and thermal …

The products made from basalt can be also used effectively in the construction of bridges, highways, residential and industrial buildings. This paper deals with the study of the basalt rock products such …

The basalt tetrahedron is a useful tool for classifying basalts. The tetrahedron is constructed using the normative components olivine, quartz, clinopyroxene, and nepheline.

Experimental investigations in simplified model systems and on natural rocks have contributed to our understanding of the genesis of basaltic magmas by partial melting of peridotite in the Earth’s upper …

Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained, igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. It most commonly forms as an extrusive rock, such as a lava flow, but can also form in …

Understanding the behavior of basalt cast metal at each stage of deformation, as well as the conditions of transition from one deformation stage to another during the creation of a piece of spontaneously …

This review synthesizes existing knowledge on the geo-mechanical properties of basalt rocks. The origin, mineralogy, physical characteristics, and mechanical behavior of basalt rocks are...
