Analysis of performance of embankment constructed on subsoil improved by vertical drains
Kováč, Vladimír ; Miča, Lumír (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The thesis deals with the back analysis of the instrumentated embankment on the subsoil, improved by prefabricated vertical drains. The first part is devoted to the theory of consolidation calculation. Furthermore, the author deals with a parametric study of the analytical calculation of prefabricated drains and the comparsion of the analytical and numerical solution. The last and the largest part of the work is a back analysis of the embankment which was built as a part of the subsoil improvement near the Suez Canal in Egypt by Keller GmbH.

Static analysis of one joint of timber structure
Sedlák, Petr ; Gratza, Roman (referee) ; Kytýr, Jiří (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the numerical modeling of the nail joint of the timber roof structure and it is based on the already realized physical experiment. Totally twelve various solutions, where the isotropic and ortotropic characteristics of the spruce timber and steel components change, have been created. The final values of the joint shift obtained by using of the numerical modeling are compared with results of physical experiment. Program system ANSYS is used.

Using the identification of parameters of nonlinear material models for analysis of concrete structures
Král, Petr ; Králik, Juraj (referee) ; Maňas,, Pavel (referee) ; Hradil, Petr (advisor)
The presented thesis is focused on numerical modeling of concrete behavior (response) using nonlinear material models (constitutive relations) and on identification of input parameter values of these material models. Nowadays, there are a number of mathematically formulated constitutive relations intended not only to simulate the response of ductile or brittle materials, but also quasi-brittle materials. The constitutive relations for quasi-brittle materials are based on various theories (plasticity theory, the concept of damage mechanics, nonlinear fracture mechanics) and their complexity depends on the chosen type of solver. A general problem in the use of these constitutive relations is the need to define the values of their input parameters which these models usually include a very large number, and which often lack physical meaning, with their meaning being purely mathematical or experimental. This problem escalates with the increasing complexity of material models, which occurs in the transition from the formulation for the classic finite element method (FEM) to the formulation for the explicit FEM, and greatly complicates their practical application. The aim of this thesis is to present an approach how to deal with this problem for selected nonlinear constitutive relations. For this purpose, the thesis is divided into three main thematic parts. The first main part of the thesis is focused on the identification of input parameter values of the Continuous Surface Cap model. The purpose of this part is to first verify the effectivity and accuracy of the selected identification procedures. The following is the identification of model parameter values based on experimental data in order to adjust the derived calibration curves. In this part, the identification of input parameter values is demonstrated on both versions of the model. Data from the direct tensile test, compact tension test and four-point bending test of concrete are used. The second main part of th

Modelling of diaphragm walls using time-dependent elasto-plastic material model
Šindelářová, Daniela ; Kotačková, Alena (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The goal of this thesis was the verification of the advanced time-dependent elasto-plastic material model for modeling diaphragm walls. Currently, this type of construction is solved usually with a combination of linear-elastic volume and plate elements. To express time-dependent behaviour, there are both, volume and plate, elements active in short-term conditions, then only volume elements in long-term conditions, while plate elements are deactivated. In this thesis, the Shotcrete material model, which can capture the time-dependent behaviour without combining two types of construction elements, is used. First, a theory of time-dependent behaviour is presented and a design of concrete structures by Eurocode 2 is discussed. Next, the Shotcrete material model is described, then used for modeling a biaxial test and calibration of compression and bending test. Following the gained knowledge, a real boundary value problem of deep excavation supported by diaphragm walls with the strut was solved. To calculate values of the internal forces and horizontal deformation in diaphragm walls, three types of material models are used.

Numerical analysis of stability of retaining structure in cohesive soils
Fejfarová, Aneta ; Račanský, Václav (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with numerical modeling of excavation using finite element method in the Plaxis 2D software. Triple-anchored retaining structure is founded in a less permeable cohesive soils. There are described loss of stability, types of the calculation and material model (Hardenig soil model used in the mathematical model) in the theoretical section of this bachelor thesis. Mathematical model of the excavation was described in the practical section of this thesis, specifically first limit state. Part of the thesis is an evaluation of the degree of stability over time, pore pressures and critical shear surfaces.

Comparison of two alternatives of deep excavation design
Krejzar, Vojtěch ; Miča, Lumír (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The thesis focuses on numerical modeling of a 30 m deep excavation using the finite element method (FEM). The excavation is situated in Luzern, Switzerland. The subsoil is formed by inclined sandstone or siltstone layers; one of them tends to form a dangerous slip surface. The bachelor’s thesis compares 2 alternatives: Alternative A represents a combination of an anchored pile wall and sprayed concrete in the lower part of the excavation, Alternative B represents a full height anchored pile wall. The thesis comprises of the description of modeling, determination of material parameters and structural members’ inputs, defines calculation phases and predicts the structure deformations. The mathematical model is created using PLAXIS 2D software.

Importance of Upsetting Test for Numerical Simulation of Forming Processes
Tinka, Petr ; Dohnal, Ivo (referee) ; Řiháček, Jan (advisor)
The thesis deals primarily with the creation of a material model for numerical simulation using an upsetting test for steel 17 240, a layer of Delta 144 was applied on the steel. From the obtained values of force and path, a material model was created which serves for characterization material for numerical simulation. The simulation was performed in ANSYS Workbench 19.0. From this, force and path are obtained, which is used to compare with the upsetting test. It is clear from the comparison that the values do not differ too much, and it is possible to use this material for numerical simulation.
