Shear stress relaxation of bituminous binders in DSR
Musil, Vladimír ; Hegr, Zdeněk (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The thesis describes the relaxation properties of bituminous binders determined in dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). Paving bitumen, polymer modified bitumen (PMB) and crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRmB) were chosen for comparison. In order to describe the effects of ageing on asphalt binders relaxation properties, the laboratory simulation of ageing using RTFOT and 3xRTFOT method was performed. For each binder were simultaneously conducted tests of needle penetration, softening point and elastic recovery. Selected bitumens were used for the production of asphalt mixtures. The low-temperature properties tests (TSRST) were performed for these mixtures, when the results were compared to the relaxation properties of binders determined in the DSR.

Application of crumb rubber in bituminous binders and in bituminous mixtures
Dašek, Ondřej ; Fišer,, Jiří (referee) ; Vacín,, Otakar (referee) ; Komačka,, Jozef (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
Presented dissertation thesis is focused on the possibility of using the crumb rubber from waste tires for modification of paving grade bitumen. The resulting asphalt rubber can be used as an alternative to polymer modified bitumen in compacted bituminous mixtures. The theoretical part describes the rheological properties of asphalt binders and the history and today state of the art in the world and in the Czech Republic. The practical part of the work contains a description of the properties of chosen crumb rubbers and produced asphalt rubbers focused on their rheological properties and on change of these properties caused by the aging at high temperature. Subsequently, the chosen empirical and functional properties of bituminous mixtures with asphalt rubber are described. Laboratory properties of these mixtures were verified under real service conditions on 32 test sections. Based on the dissertation thesis results the preliminary technical specification of the Ministry of Transport (TP 148) and their following revision were approved. The conclusion of the work summarizes and highlights the results of the dissertation.

Low noise pavement surfaces
Zítka, Patrik ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis focuses on the use of low-noise road surfaces, due to a constant increase of traffic noise nowadays. Within this work different types of roadways are analyzed and their advantages and disadvantages are shown. Additionally, the basic measuring methods of the traffic noise are described and summarized. Finally the procedures and results of the measurements on noise emissions on low-noise surface VIAPHONE® are discussed.

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.
