Development of lightweight composites based on foam glass aggregate
Szotkowská, Michaela ; Sedlmajer, Martin (referee) ; Zach, Jiří (advisor)
Bachelor´s thesis is concerned of development of bonding foam glass with organic binders. The theoretical part describes the use of recycled glass to produce aggregates based on foam glass. It also describes its production, properties and use in construction. The work also focuses on the types of organic binders and their properties. In the practical part, the optimal ratio between the binder and the filler is proposed and the subsequent assessment of the required properties of the final composite.

Possibilities of dispersed reinforcement for lightweight concrete
Novotná, Aneta ; Žítt, Petr (referee) ; Láník, Jaromír (advisor)
Master´s thesis deals with some problems associated with utilisation of lightweight concrete from the porous aggregates in the load – carrying structures. The thesis focuses on the possibilities of the increase of the cement composites toughness using dispersed reinforcement. Lightweight concretes were reinforced with a combination of different lengths of polypropylene fibers Forta Ferro. There were used polypropylene fibers of three lengths 19, 38, 54 mm. The thesis is divided into theoretical, experimental and static part.

Experimental study of reinforcement in light-weight concrete components
Lisztwan, Dominik ; Kocáb, Dalibor (referee) ; Vymazal, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes the experimental comparison of behaviour of reinforced lightweight concrete panels. Panels are reinforced with traditional steel grid and basalt composite reinforcement. The comparison of results is based on set of data from static load tests. The results of load test are also compared to the results made with nonlinear numerical analysis by finite element method and also calculation by hand. A part of this thesis includes determination of physical and mechanical properties of used concrete.

Structural Properties of Ultralight Concrete and its Optimal Application in Structures
Kadlec, Jaroslav ; Bílek,, Vlastimil (referee) ; Adámek, Jiří (referee) ; Terzijski, Ivailo (advisor)
This doctoral thesis deals with design of three variants of ultra lightweight concrete (ULC) and their mechanical properties. The ULC usually has the dry density of 900-1200 kg/m3 and it is possible to use it for load bearing structures. Low density of ULC is achieved by replacing heavy aggregate for lightweight aggregate. The lightweight aggregate is known under the trade name Liapor in the Czech Republic. To achieve density below 1000 kg/m3, an aeration of the paste has to be done. An exchange of heavy aggregate for lightweight aggregate results in a very fragile behavior of ULC. A great attention is paid to bond strength between concrete and reinforcing steel in the thesis. In addition to the standard test of bond strength testing by pull-out, a modified pull-out test is designed, which includes the effect of minimum reinforcement cover. The mentioned test more precisely simulates a real behaviour of the structure exposed to bending moment. The doctoral thesis tries to point out on different parameters between measured data and the applicable standard for the design of load-bearing structures.
