Development of concrete with high fly ash content and verification of durability in various environments
Ambruz, Pavel ; Voves, Jiří (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
This thesis contains two main parts: theoretical and experimental. The theoretical part deals with summarization knowledge of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concretes. Among others, there are mentioned processes of producing of fly ash, characteristic features and resistance to aggressive environments of HVFA concretes. The theoretical part ends with a suitable example of practical application. In the practical part were tested properties of nine different mixtures containing 40%, 50% and 60% replacement by weight of the cement by fly ash. They were compared with the reference mixtures without fly ash addition. The main endpoints were long-term compressive strength, resistance to aggressive environments, the influence of fly ash on consistency, hydratation temperatures, water absorption and volume changes.

Research of effective use and activation of activ concrete additions
Mikhailova, Olesia ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The theoretical part describes the admixtures that are used in cement replacement. Here also summarizes the findings on the influence of granulomentry, grain shape and fineness of admixtures on the density of the cement matrix. The practical part is experimentally verified the influence of fineness admixtures and grain size on the mechanical properties of concrete. Also, the rheological properties of cement are compared with admixtures depending on the type and dosage and time.

Testing ways of use of secondary raw materials replacing naturals aggregate.
Vašek, Tomáš ; Holák, Michal (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Master's thesis consists of two parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical section are listed basic information about alternative aggregates used for concrete mixture, like polystyrene, cinder and recycled concrete. Further, the influence of these alternative aggregates, used as secondary raw materials, on the behaviour and properties of fresh respectively hardened concrete. Possibilities of application concrete containing secondary raw materials are mentioned. In the practical part are experimentally verified physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing crushed waste polystyrene beads, furthermore thermal insulation properties and resistance to elevated temperatures is tested. Influence of heating plant cinder powder as active addition to concrete mixture was tested. As a next is prepared concrete with replacement of coarse aggregate by cinder and recycled concrete and tested. The influence of these secondary raw materials on workability, compressive strength, frost resistance and water permeability of concrete is also defined. The last part of research is focused on recycled concrete such as main material used in mixture of aggregates bonded with cement, dispose for base layers in roads. In conclusion are discussed results from experimental research and summary of knowledge’s about using polystyrene, cinder and recycled concrete as aggregates for concrete mixtures.

The Influence of Fines on Pore System of Concrete
Elfmarková, Veronika ; Smolka, Hynek (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Literature does not provide a satisfactory answer to maximum and minimum particle size or the particle size of the mortar phase especially for optimal porosity of concrete. To overcome the shortcomings of the design methods were thought to design a new method for design of concrete mix. This idea is based on a complex analysis of powder materials (determination of granular properties, shape factor of fillers, porosity, packing of powder materials, surface area, etc.) and subsequently to assess the influence to pore system of concrete and physical and mechanical properties in hardened state of concrete. In this work are presented and analyzed two types of fillers – fly ash and limestone dust.

Experimental verification of photocatalytic activity of TiO2 in concrete
Steinbergerová, Ivana ; Přikryl, Jan (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
This thesis is focused on gathering all available information on the application forms of photocatalytic TiO2 in concretes, especially in the surface layers of precast and monolithic structures. The paper describes in detail the properties of titanium dioxide alone, his special abilities, leading to a substantial improvement of the environment, through photocatalysis. Further verification methods are described photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide and titanium dioxide application in real projects. The practical part is tested recipes of secondary coatings from the production of company Precheza a.s. Přerov.

Verification of durability of ash concrete in the environment XF
Kušiak, Petr ; Hela,, Vlastimil (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Fly ash is now much used as an admixture to concrete. This master´s thesis focuses on the use of fly ash as an active admixture in concrete environment for XF. The thesis has two parts. The first part collected theoretical information about the origin and behavior of fly ash in fresh and hardened concrete. In the second part was experimental verification of these characteristics. The purpouse of this thesis is to demonstrate that the fly ash attribute to meet all environmental XF.
