Reducing the operating temperature of the production and laying of asphalt mixtures
Komenda, Radek ; Valentin,, Jan (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is the issue of reduction of the operating temperatures in the production and laying asphalt mixtures with a more specific focus on influencing the functional properties of these mixtures, especially low-temperature parameters. The thesis is notionally divided into two parts. The first part refers to the low-temperature asphalt mixtures and the second part pays the attention to asphalt mixtures with an added R-material. For production of asphalt mixtures in the first part of thesis were used five additives and for the second part were used a total of four different asphalt mixtures which differs in the participation of added R-material. Both parts are divided into a theoretical part, which discusses the existing experience, the use of these mixtures and the practical part, which analyses in detail the tested mixture ( the composition and preparation of tested specimens ) and deals with the result of laboratory test. In particular, it is a test of asphalt mixture resistance against the formation of frost cracks according to ČSN EN 12697-46 and by comparing the individual mixtures in comparison with the reference sample and among each other.

Use of polymers in road constructions
Klusková, Jana ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the use of recycled polymers in asphalt mixtures. In the theoretical part of the thesis there is discussed the global issue of plastic waste including the experience of foreign countries, where this technology has already been introducted and used. The practical part is devoted to the proposal of using recycled plastic in asphalt mixture, description of used laboratory tests and the evaluating the effect of low-density polyethylen (LDPE) on the asphalt mixture type AC. There were performed tensile strenght tests, water resistant tests and stiffness modulus tests in the laboratory (E). The output of this work is an evaluation of measured values, processing of results and their interpretation depending on the possible use of this technology in Czech republic.

Innovative Asphalt Mixtures for Wearing Course with a Higher Content of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
Spies, Karel ; Hegr, Zdeněk (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with the design of two asphalt mixtures for a wearing course containing 35 % R-material. The asphalt mixtures use a soft bitumen modified with crumb rubber (CRMB) or the unmodified soft binder itself with a penetration grade of 70/100. The work verifies the effect of crumb rubber as a bitumen modifier on the properties of the asphalt mixture with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). At the same time, the work deals with the possibility of using higher amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement only in combination with a softer binder without the use of rejuvenating additives. The properties of asphalt binders and mixtures are verified using suitable functional tests. Furthermore, the proposed mixtures and their results are compared from various perspectives. At the same time, the thesis in the theoretical part deals with the dosing of a reclaimed asphalt pavement into the asphalt mixture and describes the handling and use of reclaimed asphalt pavement in the Czech Republic and abroad

Properties of asphalt mixtures with RAP
Trnka, Lukáš ; Coufalíková, Iva (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the properties of asphalt mixtures with reclaimed asphalt. Possibilities of rejuvenate of binder contained in reclaimed asphalt are mentioned in the theoretical part. There is explained the principle of rejuvenators function, types of rejuvenators and ways of rejuvenators dosing into the asphalt mixture. The procedures for performing the stiffness modulus test (2PB-TR) and the low temperature (TSRST) test are described in the following part. Individual tests are evaluated and asphalt mixtures are compared in the practical part of bachelor thesis.

Usage of thin wearing courses with highly polymer modified bitumen
Renza, Jaroslav ; Rous, Vojtěch (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with technology for the implementation and use of asphalt concrete for very thin layers (BBTM) with use of asphalt binder of high-polymer modification (HiMA). Further, there are described selected and performed functional tests. Thesis also contains design of a mixture for bituminous concrete type targeted for very thin layers with different types of binders. After a suitable design of the mixture, laboratory tests were carried out (stiffness modulus, resistance to permanent deformation, low temperature characteristics, water resistance and particle loss). The output of this work is a set of measured values and processed results with their interpretation.

Usage of foam bitumens in asphalt mixtures
Venclíková, Michaela ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
In this diploma thesis there are described the issues use of foamed bitumen as binder in asphalt mixtures. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The aim of theoretical part was to elaborate an overview of technologies, which allow to reduce the temperature during the production and laying of asphalt mixtures. The aim of the practical part was to compare the selected empirical and functional parameters of two types of asphalt mixtures produced in two variants, with hot bitumen and foamed bitumen. Attention was paid mainly to stiffness and low temperature parameters.

Functional tests on mixtures of the test section with asphalt concrete and high amount of RAP
Kučerová, Marcela ; Zajíček, Jan (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the testing of asphalt mixtures of asphalt concrete containing reclaimed asphalt and laying of the test section. The theoretical part deals with the use of reclaimed asphalt in hot asphalt mixtures, namely the specifics of rejuvenating agents, aging and asphalt mixture. Further more information on the functional properties of asphalt mixtures and the influence of reclaimed asphalt on them is given. The practical part describes testing of mixtures of ACO 11+ and ACO 11+ with 50% reclaimed asphalt and tests on asphalt binders. In order to compare the proposed mixtures, the low thermal properties of ČSN EN 12697-46 and the stiffness modules according to ČSN EN 12697-26. In the last part of the diploma thesis the results of the measured values were compared with each other in order to determine of asfphalt recovery. From the overall test results, it can be seen that the effect of the rejuvenating agent was positive. However, the desired degree of rejuvenation has not been achieved after production.

Asphalt mixtures with high resistance against cracks
Stromecký, Roman ; Šperka, Pavel (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
In this bachelor's thesis were suggested two kinds of asphalt mixtures. The first one contains conventional asphalt binder and the second one Crumb Rubber modified Bitumen. The aim of this thesis is a comparison of stiffness and fatigue characteristics of these two mixtures by two-point bending test on truncated wedges. There will be also an evaluation of the impact of an asphalt addition of the Crumb Rubber modified Bitumen in one of these mixtures.

Kučerová, Marcela ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the design and testing of asphalt mix type asphalt concrete containing R-material. The theoretical part is dedicated to the RAP in asphalt mixtures produced by hot, in particular the specifics during design and manufacture of asphalt mixture. Next there is introduced further information relating to the functional characteristics of asphalt mixtures and the influence of R-material on them.
