Šponarová, Lucie ; Procházka, Martin (referee) ; Sobotka, Jindřich (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is to design a building with apartments in a high standard of living. The building will be located on sloping land currently accessible from the street Hybnerová in cadastral area of Silesian Ostrava. Construction, surrounding land and fence form a unified aesthetic and functional whole, reflecting the sloping nature of the site. White matter of structure grows continuously from the lowest point and produces fencing which spirals around the property and rise harmoniously into the building itself. Adjusted terrain of land creates platforms for individual gardens for each apartments and produces space for underground garage. The house is designed as a three-storey building with underground garage. The building will accommodate 5 residential units with terraces and technical and storage spaces within the basement. The building is oriented southwest and its location allows splitting the land to the eastern and western gardens. Southwest orientation uses the only unblocked view from the property. Continuously rising fence separates the building from surrounding buildings and offers plenty of privacy for the residents. Concrete fence has also security function.

Buckling Analysis of Thermoplastic Pipes
Procházka, Martin ; Kytýr, Jiří (referee) ; Gratza, Roman (advisor)
This thesis deals with buckling analysis of thermoplastic pipes. An experiment was conducted in which the pipes were encumbered in axis. During this experiment, the loading force was monitored and measured at the material stability loss. For these measurements, polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinylchloride pipes were used. Afterwards, the static and buckling analysis of pipe models were made in the ANSYS programme. The models were created on the basis of the experiment results. The outcomes of the analysis were compared with figures of the theoretical calculations. In the ANSYS programme pipes were strained by external overpressure.
