Modulus of elasticity of natural stone
Hoduláková, Michaela ; Cikrle, Petr (referee) ; Kocáb, Dalibor (advisor)
The value of the modulus of elasticity of concrete depends on the concrete composition (particularly on the aggregate used). The contemporary construction industry literature lacks comprehensive studies of the modulus of elasticity for each type of the rock stone. Therefore, this study focuses on testing and comparing the modulus of elasticity of selected types of rock stones used for the production of crushed coarse aggregates into the concrete. The modulus of elasticity are determined by static and dynamic methods. The work also deals with the modulus of elasticity of granite in different stages of weathering.

Optimizing requirements for wood coatings
Bednářová, Ilona ; Petránek, Vít (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
The work deals with wood coating systems. It is focused on the theoretical division of paints due to different aspects, moreover on testing of wood coating systems. In the practical part of the work, the experimental work regarding the influence of weather conditions onto durability of different wood coatings system was preceded. They were compared two different coatings within the basic tests in different environments.

Impact of weathering on chemical and morphological changes in stabilized polymers
Pospíšil, Jan ; Pilař, Jan ; Billingham, N. C. ; Marek, Antonín ; Kruliš, Zdeněk ; Nešpůrek, Stanislav ; Habicher, W. D.
Photooxidation, considered as the principal component of natural and accelerated weathering, affects together with oxygen,oxidizing and acid atmospheric pollutants durability of stabilized polymers by changing their chemical and supramolecular structure and influencing efficiency of stabilizers. Effects of the harshness of accelerated photooxidation, negative influences of atmospheric pollutants, heterogeneity in polymer oxidation together with formation of concentration gradients in stabilizer consumption and spatial distribution of stabilizer sacrificial transformation products are outlined. The data give more information on processes accompanying testing of stabilizer polymers and help to minimize misleading influences from over-accelerated tests.
