Modern trends of the concretes studies have been considered. Properties of the materials and additives used have been cited. There has been undertaken designing an experiment on a complex modifying additive application for a fine fibre-reinforced fine-sand cocrete. The results of the studies undertaken have been analyzed with regard to their statistical significance. On the bases of the reseach results there have been acquired regression equations for objective functions responses, namely ultimate strength on both compression and bending, and average density of fine fibre-reinforced concrete. There have been produced contour plots and those of response function surface - ultimate strength under compression for all combinations of the both factors. There have been determined the composition of the modifying additive, which ensures maximal strength properties for fine fibre-reinforced fine-sand concrete.
