Lime Mortars Modified by Fine Ground Brick Body
Šmerdová, Ludmila ; Vyšvařil, Martin (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
Natural pozzolanic materials played an important role in Ancient architecture. In the last decades and nowadays it is artifical pozzolan which especially finds its use as an additive to mortar and concrete to improve some, especially the mechanical properties. This master thesis deals with study of pozzolan type of fine brick powder which is a by-product of the production of calibrated bricks. Along with studying pozzolanic activity of brick powder, lime mortar with different proportions of brick powder as an additive or replacement of lime dust are investigated. What is observed is its impact on the consistency of these mortar, water absorption, strength in time or fracture-mechanical parameters of mortar. The results may indicate the possible potential use of this source of pozzolanic admixture in lime mortar and plaster which are nowadays mainly used for the restoration of facades of historic buildings.

The issue of new fly ash aerated concrete production
Bednárik, Vít ; Janovský, Radek (referee) ; Drochytka, Rostislav (advisor)
The master´s thesis deals with the possibility of laboratory verification of the influence of feedstock character, especially lime and fly ash, on quality of fly ash aerated concrete. The experimental study involves taking a series of samples autoclaved and non-autoclaved aerated concrete during two pilot plant verification in the factory. After removal of autoclaved and non-autoclaved aerated concrete samples they were tested and compared with results of non-autoclaved aerated concrete produced in the laboratory. Methodology of comparison technologically-produced autoclaved aerated concrete and laboratory-produced non-autoclaved aerated concrete was designed based on achieved findings.

Simple design of the improved soils to subgrade pavement
Hurtiš, Maroš ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes improvement of soils to subgrade pavement. It defines basic expressions, which we are taking in consideration by. Next we are talking about each parameter, which has to be included in final subsoil and which tests are suitable for these parameters. We are decribing California Bearing Ratio in detail and its test. This thesis study context between pH and CBR. Change between these two subjects is caused by addition of a binder. We are practically proving this causes in practical part of bachelor thesis.

Possibilities of recycling in the sand aerated concrete technology
Kostura, Patrik ; Kulísek, Karel (referee) ; Drochytka, Rostislav (advisor)
Waste of the aerated concrete is generated directly from the production of aerated concrete or from the constructions. The options for handling aerated concrete are two. We can deal with it as a light aggregate or as a material for the production of aerated concrete. Based on the physico-mechanical properties, the decision was made that aerated concrete is suitable as a light aggregate. The brash as a light aggregate was tested in two variants of the softness (0-2 mm, 0.25-2 mm). Evaluation of the brash as a suitable material for the production of aerated concrete consisted of the creation of laboratory-autoclaved composites. The brash was tested in different ratios (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%), two variants of fineness (0-2 mm, 0-0.25 mm) and two formulations (lime base, fluffy fly ash). Silicon sand was replaced. Based on physico-mechanical properties and microstructural analysis (XRD, SEM), was found that aerated concrete as a material is suitable for 40% sand substitution.

Plasters modified by burnt clays
Soukupová, Eva ; Příhoda,, Jiří (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (referee) ; Michoinová,, Dagmar (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
The doctoral thesis deals with the reactivity of burnt clays in connection with modified lime mortars. The theoretical part of the doctoral thesis provides an overview of the properties of lime mortars, their quality and ways of their degradation. The different types of burnt clays (brick powder, bentonites and burnt clay shale), their origin, properties and factors affecting their reactivity and methods of its evaluation are stated. The properties and reactivity of burnt clays are evaluated on the basis of determination of pozzolanic activity, mineralogical and chemical composition, surface area, density, content of the amorphous phase and granulometry in the experimental part of the doctoral thesis. The compositions of lime mortars containing burnt clays and evaluation of an impact of burnt clay on the properties of mortars in the fresh and hardened state are given. Consistency, bulk density, workability and air content of mortars in the fresh state are evaluated. Strength characteristics depending on the time, water absorbability, porosity, capillary attraction, adhesion, coefficient of diffusion resistance, frost resistance, shrinkage, mineralogical composition and microstructure of mortars in the hardened state are evaluated. Attention is also paid to the influence of the cellulose ether addition into the modified lime mortars.

The Use od Rammed Earth for Residential Buildings
Zadražil, Lukáš ; Remeš, Josef (referee) ; Žižková, Nikol (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis focuses on use of earth as a building material for residential buildings, in particular the rammed earth technology. The first part of the thesis deals with history of the earth structures in the world and in our country, using the Czech and foreign literature. Subsequently, the thesis defines earth as a building material. After that, the paper describes in detail the rammed earth technologies with examples of use in modern buildings around the world. Within the practical part, samples of earth from Dolní Těrlicko, approx. 30 km southeast of Ostrava, have been collected. Family house should be built on this land next year, with usage of rammed earth technology. In final part we propose and test methods of producing trial bodies from earth compound for pressure test.

The development of grouting for additional sealing of embankment dams
Michalčíková, Magdaléna ; Klablena,, Petr (referee) ; Drochytka, Rostislav (advisor)
Seal of sand or gravel by chemical injection is known and used for a long time. Chemical grouting are however expensive and sometimes the use of cement does not lead to desire effects. So it is trying to find new materials and methodologies injection arrangement works. To achieve savings of chemical products are added to a mixture clay and cement. Clay-cement grouting mix are used not only in order that they are better quality, but also because in this way proposed mixtures have a tendency to penetrate better into incoherent sediments that need additional sealant of chemical injection. For further possible reductions of economic terms the mixture is trying to replace the classic clay. As a suitable substitute for classic clay is to a certain extent the use of secondary raw materials. Above all it is fly ash. As a part of my thesis I deal with the appropriateness use of these materials and examining their properties in the mixture. It was found that by using fly ash were improving consistency of the fresh mixture, reducing the amount of water-cement ratio and reduce shrinkage of the mixture. On the other hand, by using fly ash has been increasing decantation, permeability atc. In the next stage of my work was examined the influence of the quality of cement, lime and liquefaction in the mixture. The aim of thesis is to propose the optimal injection mixture for additional sealing earth dams.
