Effect of Cement on the K-Value of Power Plant Fly Ash
Šperling, Petr ; Hela, Rudolf
This paper deals with the determination of the k-value and activity index for power plant fly ash with CEM I 42.5 R cement and CEM II/A-M (S-V) 42.5 R cement. The objective is to determine the activity index of this active admixture for different cement replacements to determine the k-value based on the relationship between water coefficient and compressive strength for fly ash and to assess the effect of different cement types on the kvalue. Based on the results obtained, the effect of blended cement, which has a higher amount of active admixture than Portland cement, on the compressive strength, the activity index and the k-value of fly ash was assessed.

Verification of the Applicability of Mixed Cement Types for the Production of Concrete Pavements
Klobása, Jan ; Hela, Rudolf
Concrete is the most widely used building material today. Due to the increase in the utility value of buildings, more and more emphasis is placed on the durability of buildings, which especially applies to concrete products exposed to frost and chemical deicing agents. Cement concrete pavements have the ability to transmit the effects of traffic and withstand adverse weather conditions. Concrete pavements can withstand high traffic loads without permanent deformations and have a long service life. However, it must be said that in the case of damage to the CB pavements, repairs require longer closures due to more demanding production and laying technology. The expected lifespan of a concrete road type is at least 30 years with basic and minimal maintenance, while the life cycle of tarmac roads is much shorter.
Currently, great importance is placed on reducing emissions arising from industrial production, especially cement production, where it is stated that the production of 1 ton of cement produces approximately 0.6 tons of CO2. Reducing emissions is possible thanks to secondary raw materials that are produced in large volumes in the Czech Republic, for which a suitable use is being sought.

Development of concrete with high fly ash content and verification of durability in various environments
Ambruz, Pavel ; Voves, Jiří (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
This thesis contains two main parts: theoretical and experimental. The theoretical part deals with summarization knowledge of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concretes. Among others, there are mentioned processes of producing of fly ash, characteristic features and resistance to aggressive environments of HVFA concretes. The theoretical part ends with a suitable example of practical application. In the practical part were tested properties of nine different mixtures containing 40%, 50% and 60% replacement by weight of the cement by fly ash. They were compared with the reference mixtures without fly ash addition. The main endpoints were long-term compressive strength, resistance to aggressive environments, the influence of fly ash on consistency, hydratation temperatures, water absorption and volume changes.

Reactive Powder Concrete
Gabko, Miroslav ; Klečka,, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Reactive powder composites (RPC) have been recently a subject of many researches of modern concrete technology. This type of concrete is very fine and its behaviour exceeds the other types of concrete, therefore there are new possibilities of its use. The design and production of RPC is complex technology process which needs to gain new results in RPC research to get the best features regarding its higher price. This thesis is focused on design of reactive powder concrete (RPC200), which compressive strength is between 200 – 300 MPa. Next goal is to prove the influence of curing regimes like high temperature or pressure, and also check the possibilities of production of low cement reactive powder composite (LCRPC).

The influence of crystallization additives to waterproof concrete
Rosecký, Pavel ; Louda, Pavel (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with influence of crystallization additives to waterproof concrete. In the theoretical part is detailed analysis individual components in concrete production, improving waterproofing properties and finally functions and properties of crystallization materials. In the practical part I deal with influence of selected crystallization additives on properties of fresh and hardened concrete.

Development of concrete with limited volume changes
Martanová, Jana ; Skopal, Ing Karel (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with volume changes of concrete. Attention is paid to the shrinkage. They describe the different kinds of volume changes in cement concrete, the reason for their creation and the ways in which they can be eliminated. The practical part is focused on monitoring the volume changes of concrete for 28 days using different amount of plasticing additives.

The development of high-strength concrete with a high content of el. fly ash
Roubal, David ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the study of high-strength, high-volume fly ash concrete. The theoretical part of this thesis focuses on the detailed characteristic and main principles of high-strength concrete, high-volume fly ash concrete. In addition, according to the findings, the technology of high-strength and high-volume fly ash concrete, including principles of high strength, has been described. On the basis of the findings, high-strength, high-volume fly ash concrete for specific compressive strengths has been designed and created in the experimental section. These concretes were then subjected to a number of tests.

The development of ultra-high strength (UHPC) and reactive powder (RPC) composites
Rundt, Lukáš ; Hela,, Vlastimil (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Bachelor’s thesis studies ultra-high strength concrete and reactive powder composites. In theoretical part there are researched and described properties of raw materials used for their production, mainly additions. Design methodology, processing and types of curing are also studied. Psychical mechanic and durability properties of fresh and hardened concrete are described. In practical part 4 mixtures were designed and prepared and their rheological properties, strengths after 7 and 90 days in case of UHPC and strengths after 7, 28 and 60 days in case of RPC were tested.
