Rebar fixators of various types (plastic and concrete) became widespread with manufacturing of building structures of precast and monolithic reinforced concrete in order to fix steel reinforcement cage in strictly design position and to exclude the probability of its displacement during concreting. Such sufficiently rigid fixing is necessary for the following reliable operation of the structure in the building, as well as for the preservation of steel reinforcement which protected by a necessary layer of concrete from corrosion. Information available in the literature does not allow us to judge about the effects that different types of fixators apply to exploitative properties (such as strength and crack resistance) of reinforced concrete. The experiments, according to the accepted method, showed that these characteristics are slightly worse for the samples with plastic fixators and fixators made of low grade concrete than for the samples without fixators or fixators made of high grade concrete. On the base on the research results it becomes possible to substantiate the distinction between the areas of application of plastic and concrete fixatives

In recent years, developing lightweight concrete with both the necessary and sufficient strength characteristics is essential in the construction industry. This article studies the influence of the volumetric composition of lightweight fiber-reinforced concrete (LFRC) and the method of its distribution during the preparation of the fiber–concrete mixture on the strength and deformation characteristics of LFRC on a combined aggregate. The optimal grain size of the porous filler was calculated by the mathematical planning method of the experiment. Regression models of the strength and deformation characteristics on the volumetric content of fiber and its distribution method were obtained. The most effective combination of these factors has been determined. The model shows that the increase in compressive strength was 12%, the value of the prismatic strength increased by 25%, the bending tensile strength increased by 34%, and the axial tensile strength increased by 11%. The ultimate strains during axial compression decreased by 10%, axial tension decreased by 12%, and the elasticity modulus increased by 11% compared to the test results of the control composition samples without fiber and pumice. The coefficient of constructive quality (CCQ) of the LFRC on a combined aggregate compared to concrete with the control composition without fiber and pumice showed an increase of more than 32%. It was also found that fiber reinforcement with basalt fibers with a combination of heavy and porous aggregates achieves a synergistic effect together.

To avoid excessive deflection most design codes specify the ratio (l/h)s, the span to minimum thickness of concrete members without prestressing. Use of the values of (l/h)s specified by the codes, in selecting the thickness of members, usually yields satisfactory results when the members are reinforced with steel bars. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have an elastic modulus lower than that of steel. As a result, the values of (l/h)s specified in codes for steel-reinforced concrete would lead to excessive deflection if adopted for FRP-reinforced concrete. In this paper, an equation is developed giving the ratio (l/h)f for use with FRP bars in terms of (l/h)s and (εs/εf), where εs and εf are the maximum strain allowed at service in steel and FRP bars, respectively. To control the width of cracks, ACI 318-99 specifies εs = 1200 × 10–6 for steel bars having a modulus of elasticity, Es, of 200 GPa and a yield strength, fy, of 400 MPa. At present, there is no value specified for εf; a value is recommended in this paper.Key words: concrete, cracking, deflection, fibre reinforced polymers, flexural members, minimum thickness.
