Are you at home or in a gym?
If at home, you could rig some kind of thick thick padding where the plates will land. Pull it with the plates on the regular ground, then once it's racked take a couple steps forward and drop it on the padding. It'll absorb the force so your bar won't bend and the plates/ground won't crack.
