The paper studies the influence of the geometric parameters of the mixer on the mixing process, the construction of the mixing body, its location in the mixer bulk, and the mixer shape and geometry. The technique of calculating the power spent on mixing the foam concrete mixture is described. The effects of the ratio of the mixture height to the mixer diameter, the number and width of reflective partitions, and the shape of the conical part of the mixer on the homogeneity of the foam concrete mixture and the power consumption are considered. The optimal ratios of the foam concrete mixture height to the mixer diameter have been determined. Moreover, the optimal range of the ratios of the partition width to the mixer diameter has been established, in order to obtain a homogeneous foam concrete mixture throughout the volume with lower energy consumption. The optimal values of the angle of the mixer conical part for the preparation of a foam concrete mixture have been determined.

The article considers and evaluates the impact of dispersed reinforcement of heavy concretes manufactured by means of vibration and centrifugation, various types of fibers on their strength-density ratio. The options of applying different types of heavy-weight aggregates for these concretes: crushed stone, limestone and sandstone are considered. The highest strength-density ratio is registered in centrifuged crushed stone fibrous concretes, and all types of centrifuged concretes has the ratio higher than vibrated concretes with the same composition of the studied fibers. The highest growth of the strength-density ratio for the centrifuged crushed stone fibrous concretes as compared with the vibrated ones was identified in case of dispersed reinforcement with steel fiber.

The article considers and evaluates the impact of dispersed reinforcement of vibrated and centrifuged concretes manufactured with various types of fibers on their strength-density ratio. The authors considered the application of such a recipe manufacturing method as combining aggregates by the example of heavyweight aggregate - crushed stone and light aggregate - expanded clay aggregate for these concretes. Registered strength-density ratio of centrifuged fibrous concretes with a combined aggregate is higher than vibrated concretes with the same composition of the studied fibers. The highest growth of the strength-density ratio for the centrifuged fibrous concretes as compared with the vibrated ones was identified in case of dispersed reinforcement with steel fiber.
