Desing and evaluation of Bituminous Stress Absorbing Pavement Layer
Coufalík, Pavel ; Špaček, Petr (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with the possibility of special asphalt-rubber mixture using - Stress Absorbing Layer (SAL). In the theoretical part the SAL and test methods are described. In the practical part, several different mixtures are designed and selected mixtures were tested. Low-temperature characteristics, permanent deformations, bending tensile relaxation, stiffness modulus and fatigue properties were determined. Based on the test results the mixtures were compared and their benefit is evaluated according to Performance Pavement Design Method, the pavement structure was evaluated by using of computer programme LayEps.

The influence of cold RAP addition on the resulting temperature of the asphalt mixture
Bocák, Tomáš ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to simulate the effect of dosing cold reclaimed asphalt into a hot aggregate mixture, under laboratory conditions. The theoretical part will describe the possibilities of reclaimed asphalt dosing in the production of asphalt mix, together with the principles for the design of a new asphalt mix. In the practical part, by my proposed procedure, the cold portion of aggregate will be mixed with the hot portion of aggregate. The measurements will result in the final aggregate mixture temperatures and their comparison.

Effect of the use of dispersed fibres on the properties of asphalt mixtures
Provazník, Petr ; Bohuš, Štěpán (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with the topic of using dispersed glass fibers in asphalt mixtures. The theoretical part describes the general properties of glass fibres, their production and use. It also describe issue of dispersed fibers which are currently used as an additive in asphalt mixtures. The practical part deals with behaviour of asphalt mixture which contains dispersed glass fibers. For that reason several test sets with different glass fibre dosages were made. Then individual properties of these test sets were compared with a reference mixture without fibres. The workability of the glass fibres in the asphalt mixture was assessed and after that selected laboratory tests were performed on the produced asphalt mixture namely: water resistence (ITSR), stiffness, wheel tracking, resistence to fatigue.

Coarse-grained asphalt mixtures
Rimel, Jindřich ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis investigates the properties of coarse-grained asphalt mixtures ACP 32, which are compared with the properties of ACP 22 mixtures. The theoretical part deals with the composition of asphalt mixtures, their production, transport and laying. Experience with using coarse-grained mixtures around the world is also presented. The practical part deals with mixture design, production and testing to assess the properties of the mixtures. The tests selected for the comparison of the properties are wheel tracking, TSRST and stiffness by a two-point bending test.

Cold asphalt mixtures
Spáčil, Petr ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part consists of explanation of the problem. The thesis includes definitions as Bitumen, Asphalt Mixture, Asphalt Binder, Cut-back Bitumen and Viscosity. The practical part is focused mainly on the description of the test methods used on Asphalt Binders and Mixtures which were intended for repairs. It describes differences between used Asphalt Binders and explains and describes other used materials. The practical part compares the mixtures of different Cut-back Bitumen. It describes the production process and project of Cut-back bitumen mixture, the production process of individual test solids and compares the differences with hot made asphalt mixture. It also describes the analysis of volumetric, mechanical-physical and funcional tests in purpose of evaluating the differences between standard Cut-back Bitumen and new biofluxed asphalt binder.

Coarse graded asphalt mixtures
Mucha, Ondřej ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis is focused on asphalt mixtures that contain coarser aggregates than currently allowed by technical regulations in the Czech Republic. The introductory part of the work describes the composition of asphalt mixtures, their division and use. Further deals with foreign experience with these types of asphalt mixtures and their use in the surrounding European countries and in the United States of America. The aim of this work is to obtain a theoretical overview of knowledge about coarse graded asphalt mixtures from foreign sources and research.

Recycling of asphalt mixtures with higher amount of RAP
Klimek, Matěj ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The theoretical part of the diploma thesis recapitulates the existing literature in the field of recycling asphalt mixtures with a higher content of RAP (Reclaimed asphalt pavement). The practical part of the diploma thesis examines changes in the properties of asphalt mixtures with a higher content of RAP, due to changes in mixing time. Five mixtures have been proposed for this research. It is an asphalt mixture intended for the road abrasive layer (ACO 11+). Reference mixture "A" without RAP, with a standard mixing time of 25 seconds. Mixture "B" with 40% RAP, without rejuvenator, with an extended mixing time of 40 seconds. Mixture "C" with 40% RAP, with rejuvenator and standard mixing time. Mixture "D" with 40% RAP with rejuvenator and extended mixing time of 40 seconds. Mixture "E" with 40% RAP, with rejuvenator and extended mixing time of 55 seconds.

Coarse-grained asphalt mixtures
Brida, Peter ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the comparison of the influence coarse-grained aggragate on the properties af asphalt concrete. The theoretical part describes issue of production and usage of asphalt mixtures. The practical part evaluates multiple types of asphalt mixtures and describing their properties. Stiffness by a two-point bending test, a wheel tracking test and low-temperature cracking and properties by uniaxial tension test were used to evaluate the properties of the mixtures.

Warm Mix Asphalt Using Technology of Foam Bitumen
Machel, Ondřej
Nowadays, more and more attention is paid to the environment protection. The issues of the environment protection are obviously related to road engineering as well. Asphalt pavements are used in the majority of road constructions. When producing these mixtures, it´s necessary to reach high temperatures, which is energetically demanding and at the same time there are impacts on the environment. In order to reduce the negative effects as much as possible, there are efforts to reduce working temperatures while keeping the properties of the mixtures. The result is the so–called Warm Mix Asphalt – WMA. The aim of this article is to introduce basic methods for reducing working temperatures with a focus on the foam bitumen technology and its use in the Czech Republic.

Use of R-material in asphalt mixtures with PMB type binder
Navrátilová, Pavlína ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the use of R-material in asphalt mixtures with a PMB type binder. The work is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the acquisition of R-material by road milling, the use of R-material, the binder used in the practical part of the work and the types of recycling. The practical part deals with the design of four types of asphalt mixtures with different content of R-material in the asphalt mixture. It also deals with the description of functional tests of asphalt mixtures and the results of these tests.
