Rheological properties of building binders in their fresh state
Hegrová, Michaela ; Rovnaník, Pavel (referee) ; Vyšvařil, Martin (advisor)
This thesis is devoted to the rheological properties of building binders. The theoretical part focuses on individual types of building binders, their rheological properties and basic parameters determinated during the rheological characterization of building binders. The practical part deals with the resultes obtained from the meansurements on a rotational rheometr using the geometry type of plate to plate. These results are subsequently evaluated.

Effect of water-lime ratio on the properties of lime mortars.
Kurfürstová, Nela ; Vyšvařil, Martin (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
Diploma thesis gives a brief description of the traditional technology of preparation of lime mortars for restoration of historical buildings. The theoretical part is focused on the preparation of lime mortars traditional methods, using appropriate materials for making and influence amount of water. Attention is also paid to the events that take place in the setting and hardening of lime mortar. In the experimental part of the research was conducted, which aimed to assess the influence of water-cement ratio and mixing ratio (binder to filler) on the properties of lime mortars. At various times were measured mechanical properties, density, shrinkage, frost resistance and porosity. The mortar was also carried out thermal analysis and found to contain calcium carbonate. Acquired knowledge could help in the reconstruction of historical buildings.

Influence of heavy metal oxides on the formation and properties of Portland clinker
Kašpárková, Kateřina ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (referee) ; Vyšvařil, Martin (advisor)
The Master’s thesis is focused on a study of the effect of increased content of heavy metals present in a raw meal on the formation and properties of prepared clinker and acquired cement. Main attention is devoted to changes on the physical, mechanical, microstructural and hydration properties. The theoretical part contains an overview of clinker minerals occurring in Portland cement including the possibility of incorporation of heavy metals into their structure and affecting the properities of the cement. In the experimental part, there is compared the effect of heavy metal oxides on the composition and hydration properties of portland clinker and physical-mechanical and microstructural properities of cement pastes prepared from this clinker.

Lime Mortars Modified by Fine Ground Brick Body
Šmerdová, Ludmila ; Vyšvařil, Martin (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
Natural pozzolanic materials played an important role in Ancient architecture. In the last decades and nowadays it is artifical pozzolan which especially finds its use as an additive to mortar and concrete to improve some, especially the mechanical properties. This master thesis deals with study of pozzolan type of fine brick powder which is a by-product of the production of calibrated bricks. Along with studying pozzolanic activity of brick powder, lime mortar with different proportions of brick powder as an additive or replacement of lime dust are investigated. What is observed is its impact on the consistency of these mortar, water absorption, strength in time or fracture-mechanical parameters of mortar. The results may indicate the possible potential use of this source of pozzolanic admixture in lime mortar and plaster which are nowadays mainly used for the restoration of facades of historic buildings.

Application of foaming agents for the production of lightweight materials
Kramná, Adéla ; Vyšvařil, Martin (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
Use of lightweight building materials came to forefront in recent decades. The most commonly used materials are aerated and foam concrete but also other materials such as foamed geopolymer have been introduced. This study examines foaming methods of various lightweight building materials which are analysed and evaluated in terms of properties in hardened state. An effect of foaming agent on the structure of the material and its porosity was examined by image analysis using an optical microscope.

Lime mortars with the addition of ground limestone
Žižlavský, Tomáš ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (referee) ; Vyšvařil, Martin (advisor)
The thesis is focused on an effect of addition of ground limestone on properties of lime based mortars. Theoretical part of the thesis deals with diferenciation of plasters and their utilization, history of using limestone as an aggregate, its exploitation in the present and its impact on properties of lime based plasters, specially on strenghts. In the next part there's elaborated the carbonation reaction including the influence of external agents. Practical part of the thesis is focused on proving assumtions from theoretical part, particulary on the influence of ground limestone on the strenght properties of lime based plasters.

The ruins and the possibilities of their conservation
Pyreňová, Eliška ; Vyšvařil, Martin (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with a question of conservation of castle ruins. The theoretical part discusses generally building materials used in their construction, sort of material´s degradation and corrosion of materials, possibilities of ruin´s conservation by using suitable building materials, and processes in realization of historical property restoration. Work focuses on a history and conteporary condition of two historical buildings, the castle Cimburk in Czech republic and the castle Lietava in Slovakia. As a part of my work was collection and subsequent analysis of samples of historical mortars of these castle. Resulting response curves differential thermal analysis, RTG diffraction analysis and their mutual comparison.

The influence of heavy metal oxides on the properties of cement pastes
Kašpárková, Kateřina ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (referee) ; Vyšvařil, Martin (advisor)
The Bachelor´s thesis is focused on study of the effect of increased content of heavy metals in cement production on the properties of this cement and the effect of addition of heavy metal oxides in cement pastes production. The thesis also deals with structural changes in particular components of cement in the presence of heavy metals. The effect of addition of heavy metal oxides on the properties of cement pastes is demonstrated in the experimental part by determining their mechanical properties, pore structure, and observation of the progress of hydration.
