Experimental and numerical analysis of rheological processes during the concrete maturation.
Zvolánek, Lukáš ; Navrátil, Jaroslav (referee) ; Vítek,, Jan (referee) ; Terzijski, Ivailo (advisor)
This doctoral thesis deals with the volume changes of structural concrete caused by its shrinkage. Great importance is given to the evaluation of concrete resistance against shrinkage cracking, too. A lot of physical and numerical experiments were carried out before results and conclusion of observed phenomena was publicized. The amount of physical tests and utilization rate of the experiments can be enlarged and intensified due to the usage of materials made of micro-concrete. Consequently, the design of concrete mixtures with the ordinary size of aggregate particle reflected the large knowledge obtained by micro-concrete. In this work, the effect of different fibres and its different amount was also researched. Finally, the optimized fibre concrete mixture was designed. During the testing, the unique method referred to as “Complex experiment” was developed. Obtained data from the Complex experiment allows predicting when the shrinkage cracks may occur. The final comparison between all tested materials made of concrete was performed by means of unique parameter referred to as “Critical degree of restraint”. It was proofed that the resistance of optimized fibre concrete against to shrinkage cracking is twice of ordinary concrete. Moreover, the shrinkage cracks did not occur in the developed fibre concrete during the observed period. Based on the obtained results the new scaling factors for the rheological model B4 were derived. Due to the new scaling factors, the model B4 describes the real behavior of special composite materials very well.

Possibilities of application of basalt fibers in concrete
Zourek, Milan ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with possibilities of application of basalt fibers in concrete and in cementitious composites. In the theoretical part there is a summary of fibers usually used for fiberconcretes. Manufacturing process of basalt fibers is described, and properties of basalt fibers are summarized. Next part deals with properties of basalt fiber reinforced concrete. Concretely fresh properties, physical-mechanical properties, shrinkage and cracking, microstructure and fire resistance. The last chapter deals with fire resistance of concrete in general. The experimental part of this diploma thesis is divided into two phases. There were two mixes of basalt fiber reinforced concrete made with basalt aggregate and one mix of concrete without basalt fibers in the first phase. Density, consistency by slump and air content were determined as fresh properties. As hardened properties density, compressive strength and flexural strength were determined. There was determined the effect of the temperatures 600 and 800 °C on density, compressive strength and outward of specimens. Also, deformation during the high temperature curing was recorded. In the second phase of the experimental part there were three mixes of cementitious composite made with basalt fibers and one cementitious composite without basalt fibers. Density was determined as a fresh property. Material was monitored during its mixing. As a hardened properties density, flexural strength and compressive strength were determined. There was determined the effect of the temperatures 600 and 800 °C on density, flexural strength, compressive strength and outward of specimens.

Design of the tram tunnel lining
Pokorná, Katka ; Čenčík, Dalibor (referee) ; Horák, Vladislav (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis is the design of an alternative variant of the tram tunnel lining on the Large Urban Ring Road in Brno Žabovřesky. The first part of the thesis describes the actually implemented solution. PLAXIS 2D software was used for the alternative design, thanks to which the necessary parameters were obtained. The alternative solution of the primary lining consists of fibre-reinforced shotcrete reinforced with two composite meshes. The proposed alternative was found to be economically more advantageous and, last but not least, less time consuming.

Study the abrasion resistance of concrete
Kolková, Kristína ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
The thesis deals with the issues of concrete abrasion resistance and it consists of a theoretical research part and an experimental part. The types of abrasion affecting concrete construction and abrasion effect of flowing water-borne sand are described in the theoretical research part. A substantial part is dedicated to the impact of concrete properties and to each material of the concrete mixture on the abrasion resistance. The impact of addition of various types of fibers is inquired. The mixtures with the addition of 2 kg.m-3 and 4 kg.m-3 of basalt fibers and the addition of 1 kg.m-3 and 2 kg.m-3 of polypropylene fibers are designed in the experimental part. The mixtures are compared to a reference mixture without fibers. Density and consistency of fresh concrete settling at 5 minutes are determined in fresh condition. Density, compressive strength, tensile strength, watertight, concrete absorption and bending tensile strength are determined on hard concrete. The impact of the addition of fibers to the concrete abrasion resistance is inquired using the Bohm abrasion method and wheel abrasion method. A water jet is used as another method for testing abrasion resistance and for comparing the suitability of the used methods.

Verification of the effect of fine fibers and absorbent additives on the process of self-healing concrete
Dokoupil, Tomáš ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with self-healing of concrete composite. In the theoretical part, it represents the effect of polymer microfibers on reducing the development of cracks and on improving self-healing properties. It also describes the most commonly used types of bacteria used to enhance the self-healing process and their effect both alone and in interaction with fibers, calcium sources and absorbent additives. It also represents auxiliary additives in the form of superabsorbent polymers. In the practical part, it verifies the influence of the above elements and describes how much the self-healing of concrete has been enhanced by the use of combinations of fibers, absorbent polymers and a source of calcium in the form of calcium lactate. It also indicates whether the self-healing properties used were not improved at the expense of deteriorating the mechanical properties of the composite.

Influence of the type of dispersed reinforcement on selected properties of concrete
Gajdušková, Patricie ; Křížová, Klára (referee) ; Sedlmajer, Martin (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the usage of fibers in concrete. The fibers are dispersed reinforcement which may have different behaviour based on the material characteristics or the geometric shape of the fibers. Due to this, we may predict the appropriate application of fibers and possibly improve mechanical properties of concrete. At the same time, the influence of used fibers on the behaviour of the concrete when exposed to high temperatures, thus the fire resistance of material, is observed. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the properties of the individual fiber types in concrete, which are suitable for specific application of fibre reinforced concrete.
