Study of possibilities of reduction of volume changes and development of hydration temperatures in concrete
Pikna, Ondřej ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Volume changes are one of the priority characteristics of concrete that plays an important role place mainly in the durability of structures as such. These low volume changes are required especially for structures as: industrial concrete floors, massive structures and waterproof structures. One of the possibilities in reducing these changes is the use of mineral admixtures with suitable grain curve of aggregate. Another possibility is the use of shrinkage reducing admixtures. There can occur problem with efficiency (long term age) with other components of the mixture. Therefore, the effort of this work is to use the avaible processes for maximum reduction of shrinkage and hydration temperatures.

Effect of Type of Air-Entraining Admixtures on the Properties of Concrete
Pikna, Ondřej ; Ťažký, Martin ; Hela, Rudolf
One of the elementary factor that must be taken into account when designing concrete is its durability. The exposition, which is significantly connected with the durability of hardened concrete, is also the effect of negative temperatures together with the possibility of combination with salts. The present article tries to clarify and compare the currently used air entraining admixtures for concrete, which aim to improve the properties and especially the durability in the mentioned exposition.
