Abstract: The dynamic strength and deformability of basalt–plastic specimens under single pulsed (explosive) loading are studied experimentally. The results obtained show that the basalt–plastic specimens possess high specific strength and their strength characteristics are close to those of similar tubular specimens from glass-reinforced plastic based on a high-modulus glass fiber. It is found that a twofold increase in all geometrical dimensions of the specimens does not affect their specific carrying capacity.
