Optimization of recycled concrete materials from precast concrete elements and their characteristics for building information model
Venkrbec, Václav ; Mésároš,, Peter (referee) ; Šuhajda, Karel (referee) ; Henková, Svatava (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the use of recycled concrete aggregates obtained from deconstructed parts of a precast panels’ apartment building. Furthermore, the work presents an optimization supplier-logistics algorithm to achieve a wider application of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) in structural concrete in a new building. As part of the newly developed optimization algorithm of ready-mixed concrete suppliers, non-graphical data from the building information model (BIM) were intensively used. The work also addresses the transfer of data from and back to the information model and the definition of characteristics needed to optimize the entire process. At the theoretical level, the work deals with a comprehensive literature review of the above-mentioned fields. The experimental part of the work is focused on materials research carried out in order to verify the suitability of a particular type of RAC for structural use. The work introduces the procedures and test results of two types of recycled aggregates and then presents a range of recycled concrete recipes with partial replacement of aggregates for RCAs, obtained from prefabricated panels of high-rise buildings. The gained test results show the technical suitability of the tested RCA sources for producing medium-strength structural RAC. A significant part of the analytically oriented experimental part of the work is the logistic optimization scenario with its own matrix-based discrete algorithm and economic graphical evaluation. The case study examines the relevance of the proposed algorithm on a real scenario, namely the construction of the scientific technology institute CEITEC in Brno. Furthermore, the work summarizes the issue of BIM and presents a methodology for handling non-graphical information of the building model to define the characteristics of recycled concrete in buildings. The conclusions are addressed both for practice and for the development of scientific disciplines. The work provides

The Use of Asbestos, Remediation of Contaminated Areas and the Risk of Impact on the Human Organism
Štípek, Radek ; Bendl, Jiří (advisor) ; Mihaljevič, Martin (referee)
The work deals with the uses of asbestos minerals, methods of safe disposal of asbestos and the disease burden caused by exposure to asbestos fibers, of which the most dangerous is crocidolite. Attention is paid to the physical-chemical and structural properties, classification and explanation of the processes of their formation, indicating areas of the Czech Republic and abroad. Describes the history of asbestos use since ancient times to the 20th century, including mass balance asbestos consumed in the technosphere that over the past hundred years, amounts to almost 194 million tons. It then focuses on building fire protection, insulation and other products with different content of asbestos in the world which total over 3000 and registered on the characteristics of asbestos substitute materials, such as ceramic, glass and carbon fibers, aramids, wollastonite, vermiculite and perlite. Describes methods for determination of asbestos fibers in the air, water and soil as a complete course of rehabilitation of contaminated objects. Asbestos fibers pose a risk to human health in the form of asbestosis, first diagnosed in 1900, pleural hyalinosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma of the pleura, where the first evidence of association with exposure to asbestos dates back to 1955 and on the basis of which...

Specifics of building design from recycled building materials
Dobrovolný, Petr ; Pifko, Henrich (referee) ; Innemanová,, Petra (referee) ; Žabičková, Ivana (advisor)
Nowadays, the developed societies increasingly adhere to the ideas of sustainability, which also include the issues of raw material intensity and waste management. EU countries declare their intention to move towards so-called circular economy, where production, consumption, waste management and the market of secondary raw materials function in predominantly closed cycles. Due to its high share of raw material consumption and the amount of waste generated, the construction industry is one of the priority sectors in which these changes should take place. Consequently, the interest in recycling of construction and demolition waste will probably grow. This thesis examines the chosen topic from the architect's point of view. The issue of recycling of building materials is dealt with in the context of contemporary construction industry. The introductory part describes main material flows: the most used building materials, the method of waste management and the possibilities of its further use. The relationships between the design of the building and the production of construction waste are defined. The issue of building with recycled building materials is handled in more detail. In the main part, the design of a model object made of recycled building materials is elaborated. The individual building structures are analyzed in terms of the suitability of the use of recycled building materials and waste management after the end of a lifecycle of the building and a comparison is made with alternative structures made of conventional building materials. At the end of the work, an evaluation of the usability of recycled building materials in building structures and their economic potential is performed. There is also an evaluation of the specifics of working with recycled building materials in the design of the building.
