Possibilities of application of basalt fibers in concrete
Zourek, Milan ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with possibilities of application of basalt fibers in concrete and in cementitious composites. In the theoretical part there is a summary of fibers usually used for fiberconcretes. Manufacturing process of basalt fibers is described, and properties of basalt fibers are summarized. Next part deals with properties of basalt fiber reinforced concrete. Concretely fresh properties, physical-mechanical properties, shrinkage and cracking, microstructure and fire resistance. The last chapter deals with fire resistance of concrete in general. The experimental part of this diploma thesis is divided into two phases. There were two mixes of basalt fiber reinforced concrete made with basalt aggregate and one mix of concrete without basalt fibers in the first phase. Density, consistency by slump and air content were determined as fresh properties. As hardened properties density, compressive strength and flexural strength were determined. There was determined the effect of the temperatures 600 and 800 °C on density, compressive strength and outward of specimens. Also, deformation during the high temperature curing was recorded. In the second phase of the experimental part there were three mixes of cementitious composite made with basalt fibers and one cementitious composite without basalt fibers. Density was determined as a fresh property. Material was monitored during its mixing. As a hardened properties density, flexural strength and compressive strength were determined. There was determined the effect of the temperatures 600 and 800 °C on density, flexural strength, compressive strength and outward of specimens.

Durability of alkali-activated materials
Zourek, Milan ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with durability of alkali-activated materials and the use of them in aggressive surroundings, especially in sewer systems. The first half of the theoretical part summarizes requirements for concrete sewer pipes. The most common linings and coatings used in concrete sewer systems are mentioned. The second half of the theoretical part deals with alkali-activated materials, raw materials used for their preparation and their durability. Concretely sulfate attack resistance, chloride attack resistance, acid attack resistance, abrasion, porosity, freeze-thaw resistance, thin layer applications and cracking tendency. In the experimental part of this bachelor’s thesis there were proposed five types of alkali-activated materials application in the aggressive environment of sewer systems. Density and consumption of alkali-activated material by thin layer application was determined as fresh properties. Material was monitored during its solidifying and hardening, especially for crack formation. As hardened properties density, flexural strength, compressive strength, adhesion of thin layer to concrete, thickness of thin layer, freeze-thaw resistance, resistance of surface to water and defrosting chemicals were determined.
