Swelling soils in the Czech Republic
Fencl, Michal ; Boháč, Jan (advisor) ; Kostkanová, Vladislava (referee)
This thesis deals with swelling soils and tries to determine their occurrence in the Czech Republic. Swelling of soils is a process in which the soil either increases its volume and/or exerts the swelling pressure, and thereby typically causes considerable problems in buildings and other structures. Volume changes affect all soils, depending on the degree of saturation, the stress level and its chenges, and on the soil mineral composition. Based on the literature review the thesis describes the basic principles of swelling. It deals with the general description of clay minerals, mostly smectite, and their role in the phenomenon of swelling and in the identification of potentially swelling soils Finally the published data on swelling pressures of soils from selected sites in the Czech Republic are summarised.

Management of sport events - Junior Marathon
Fencl, Michal ; Voráček, Josef (advisor) ; Pecinová, Markéta (referee)
Title: Sport event management - Junior Marathon Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to suggest some improvements for next years of Junior Marathon based on analysis of Junior Marathon 2014. The other objective is to prepare a manual for organizing this event in 2016. Methods: In this thesis were used following methods: qualitative interviews with the race manager Bojan Nankovič, analysis of documents and case studies. The interview was unstructured with previously known issues. Further was used analysis of secondary data - PIM's company internal materials. After that followed personal observation of Junior Marathon with investigation of whole event. Results: The main results of this thesis are suggestions for improvement of the event based on its analysis. These recommendations can be used also for similar sport events. For instance were detected cheating participants which leads to advice race managers to supervise racers identities. To add, it is highly recommended to improve accompanying activities. The last proposal suggests more effective communication with high schools. Keywords: running, secondary school, race, PIM (Prague International Marathon)

Critical state strength of Brno Clay
Fencl, Michal ; Boháč, Jan (advisor) ; Najser, Jan (referee)
The Thesis deals with the critical state strength of Brno Clay. The critical state strength is an important input parameter in many geotechnical analyses. Further it is used in determining the at- rest coefficient K0 of normally consolidated clays using the Jáky formula. The Thesis first briefly describes the concept of strength for soils and the K0. The critical state strength of the particular soil is then determined by using triaxial conventional and frictionless specimens, and two types laboratory direct shear measurements, namely in the translational and ring shear boxes. The obtained results are discussed and compared with previous published data.
