The issue of the appearance and development of cracks, as well as an increase the cracking moment is of particular importance for bending elements operating under aggressive environmental conditions. In structures without cracks, steel reinforcement operates in fairly favorable conditions. However, when cracks appear in the sections of the structural element, the reinforcing bar is exposed to aggressive environmental influences, the voltage drop across the reinforcement also increases, etc.
In reinforced concrete structures, tensile stresses are perceived by reinforcing bars, an increase in the content of longitudinal reinforcement in the section leads to some increase in crack resistance of structures, however, an increase in the percentage of longitudinal reinforcement causes a number of undesirable phenomena such as increased consumption of reinforcement and increased weight of the structure. Also, the introduction of reinforcement into the concrete body does not eliminate such disadvantages of concrete as susceptibility to corrosion, low elasticity, low tensile strength and tensile strength. The use of polymer concrete improves these properties of reinforced concrete structures, while the density of fiber rubcon and rubcon is slightly lower than that of traditional concrete, and, consequently, the weight of structures made of this polymer concrete.
