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.

Development of high quality autoclaved aerated concrete using alternative resources
Kostura, Patrik ; Janovský, Radek (referee) ; Drochytka, Rostislav (advisor)
With the growing trend of construction, the demand for building materials is growing steadily. Porous concrete is widely used in the building industry, that makes efforts to discount production and simultaneously save the environment. The aim of this thesis is to develop high-quality porous concrete by using alternative raw materials as a substitute for silicate sand. As a possible substitute were chosen: Silica masonry, foundry sand and fireclay boulders. The influence of two key parameters - the specific surface (130, 240 and 350 m2·kg-1) and the amount of silica sand substitution (10, 30 and 50 %) were monitored. Two autoclaving modes (7 and 12 hours of isothermal durations at 190 ° C) were tested. Based on the physico-mechanical and mineralogical characteristics of the porous concrete composites was chosen the ideal surface area of 240 m2·kg-1 and time of isothermal endurance was determined at 7 hours (temperature 190 ° C, pressure 1,4 MPa). From the optimal intentions were created samples with a macroporous structure, using an aluminum powder. Physical-mechanical properties and microstructural analysis (XRD, SEM) were subsequently determined on the samples. Ideal recipes were proposed with 50% sand substitution of fireclay boulders and 10% substitution of foundry sand. This was due to a 10% higher compressive strenght and an increase of the coefficient of constructiveness, compared to the reference sample.
