Evaluation of loading test of jet-grouted piles
Čechová, Simona ; Račanský, Václav (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The master thesis consists of a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part jet-grouting technology is described briefly. Mechanical properties of jet-grouted piles were characterized. Various estimation methods of ultimate pile bearing capacity are described in this thesis – analytical calculation of ultimate bearing capacity for bored piles and estimation of ultimate pile bearing capacity by analysis of load-displacement curve defined by CHIN (1970; 1972). Load transfer method for piles and hyperbolic load-transfer curve are introduced. As a part of the load-trasfer method analysis, a method of estimating ultimate pile shaft friction called beta method is defined. In the practical part were evaluated several static load tests of jet-grouted piles and were constructed their load-displacemnt curves. Then reverse analysis of the results from static load tests was performed using load-transfer method. Then ultimate pile bearing capacity was estimated using analytical calculation of pile bearing capacity for bored piles and using analysis of load-displacement curve with method by CHIN (1970; 1972). By evaluation of load transfer method and beta method ultimate shaft resistence for each pile was estimated. Results and load-displacement curves were compared.

Determination of load-transfer functions for bored piles
Čechová, Simona ; Račanský, Václav (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The thesis is consisted of theoretical and practical part. In theoretical part was described nowadays commonly used method for analysis of single axially loaded replacement piles defined by Masopust (1994). There was also explained principle of load transfer method and was done analysis of mobilization curves, which are applied abroad, and finally were defined essential entry parameters for construction of selected load transfer curves. In practical part method by Masopust (1994) was transformed, limit shear stresses and tip resistances were calculated and values of deformation parameters for constructing cubic root curve and hyperbolic load transfer curve were deterined. In the last step both types of load transfer curves were constructed for shaft and pile tip of a replacement pile in different depths in fine-grained soil and in coarse-grained soil.

Securing the pit in over-consolidated clay
Svobodová, Nikola ; Chalmovský, Juraj (referee) ; Miča, Lumír (advisor)
Text of an abstract. The aim of the Bachelor’s thesis is design and assessment of the supporting "hypothetical" excavation pit in Neogene Brno clay. The pit is situated near the swimming stadium Za Lužánkami, where subsoil is formed this type of soil. This area is also marked as landslide area. In the first part of the thesis evaluation of the geological and geotechnical conditions is presented. Design and evaluation of the selected supporting system (two times anchored pile wall) cross-section to fulfill the Ultimate Limit State and Serviceability Limit State is described in the third part. The computational program GEO5 Sheeting Design was used to determination of required embedded depth of the wall, number of anchors and internal forces. The assessment of the first limit state of the construction was made partly by hand and partly with the help of the software application. The determination of horizontal movements of pile wall was performed via GEO5 Sheeting Assessment. External stability was analyzed using GEO5 Stability. The last section gives description of the technological construction plan.

Foundation Pits of Circular Cross-section
Plevová, Lenka ; Boštík, Jiří (referee) ; Glisníková, Věra (advisor)
The master´s thesis focuses on design of underground sprinkler tank for a shopping centre Sconto in Hradec Králové. The purpose of this thesis is to design and to analyse all parts of this construction. These parts are the roof, the bottom plate and the wall, which is represented by secant piles. Due to the high level of the ground water which causes a great pressure on the bottom of the tank, the solution of the bottom plate represents very important part of this thesis. There were used two programs for an analysis, Scia Engineer 2013 and FIN EC – Beton 3D. Furthermore, the work contains a view and a brief description of methods used for sheeting of foundation pits of a circular cross-section. In the end, this thesis contains the design of two other solutions of bottom plate and its economic comparison.

Prediction of load-displacement behaviour of large diameter piles using the finite element method
Dvořák, Tomáš ; Miča, Lumír (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The master thesis deals with the inverse analysis of instrumented load tests of bored piles in cohesionless and cohesive soils. Evaluations of the detailed monitoring are compared with the results of inverse analyses. Inverse analyses are preformed using the finite element method with an advanced material model considering the higher stiffness within very small strains in PLAXIS and alternatively using the load-transfer method in PMpLTO. The difference of pile-soil interaction in different soil types is discussed and the difference in the process of shaft friction mobilization is also evaluated. In cohesionless soils values of shaft friction are many times higher due to the increment of radial stress which is caused by effect of constraint dilatancy in shear zone at pile-soil interface.

Development and validation of a hypoplastic model for soft clays incorporating rate effects and strength anisotropy
Jerman, Jan ; Mašín, David (advisor) ; Blahůt, Jan (referee) ; Hrubešová, Eva (referee)
The thesis presents modelling framework for soft clays. Soft clays typically occur in marine environment, coastal areas and along rivers, soft clay deposits are also associated with the periglacial conditions. Soft clay seabeds are also prevalent in locations used as foundations of various energy sources (renewable and hydrocarbon). Growing world population increased demand for land, and this, consequently, leads to seaward land reclamation for urban development in coastal areas. Thus, construction on soft soil deposits has become increasingly important as soft clays occur in locations of construction projects for city infrastructure. The stress-strain behaviour of soils, especially clayey soils, is well-known to be rate- dependent. This fact is relevant for specific engineering projects, where the long-term performance of constructions is of interest. This is particularly important for soft clays as the very high degree of compressibility in primary compression and during creep makes rate-dependent soil behaviour an important factor for geotechnical problems. Moreover, the slow slope movements of slow-moving landslides and creeping slopes are controlled mostly by shear creep properties of the shear-zone soil and the effective stress state. Thus, for the case of creeping landslide modelling, a...

Measurement of stiffness at small strains during oedometer test and detailed interpretation of output waves
Havlíček, Jaroslav ; Koudela, Pavel (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
This thesis has a theoretical and a practical part. The first part contains theoretical introduction to the phenomenon of increased stiffness at very small strains and possibilities of its practical applications. The available methods for evaluating initial shear modulus tests are described below. Increased attention is paid to the method of evaluation of test data in the frequency domain using the Fourier transform. The last chapter in this part describes an algorithm designed for automatic evaluation of measurements in the frequency domain. The practical part deals with measurement and evaluation of initial shear modulus for Brno clay as a function of vertical stress in oedometric test. Firstly, a device is presented that allows the extension of the oedometric test with sensors for measuring initial shear modulus of soil. This device was designed for the test in this thesis. Subsequently, the test plan is described including description of all soil samples. In this thesis, several types of soil samples from a single site were tested. Next, the results of the individual tests are evaluated by the selected methods. Examples are used for showing the differences in evaluation of the same data by other methods. At the end, the results of the individual tests for all sample types are compared with each other and with data from literature.
