In order to improve the technical performance of Aerated Ceramsite Concrete (ACC) so that it could better meet the requirements of lightweight wallboards for prefabricated buildings, this study mixed 0%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15% and 0.20% of the Basalt Fiber (BF) by volume ratio into the ACC of 100mm-thickness LC15 lightweight wallboards, and conducted experiments to test the apparent density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength on the 7d, 14d, and 28d of the experiment; then, the microstructure and failure forms of the BF-improved ACC material were observed and analyzed, and the results showed that adding BF can effectively improve the physical and mechanical properties of ACC, and the optimal BF content in the ACC of lightweight wallboards is 0.10%-0.15%.
