Identification of rate type fluids suitable for modeling geomaterials
Tůma, Karel
In the present thesis we study and compare different viscoelastic rate-type fluid models capable of describing response of geomaterials such as asphalt. Using new thermodynamic approach proposed by Rajagopal and Srinivasa (2000) we derive several classes of non-linear viscoelastic models that generalize standard Oldroyd-B and Burgers models. We show that the new models achieve better results in fitting experimental data with asphalt than the previously considered models (Oldroyd-B, Burgers, Rajagopal and Srinivasa (2000)). In particular they are able to capture the behavior of asphalt observed recently in experiments (torque overshoot and two relaxation mechanisms), which is not possible to describe by the other models. Using both the standard and the newly derived models we compute full simulations of viscoelastic flow with the finite element method in fixed domains and incorporating the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian description also in deforming domains. For example, we study rolling of asphalt or creation of ruts in the road with the real material parameters obtained by fitting the experiments. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Use of R-material in asphalt mixtures with PMB type binder
Navrátilová, Pavlína ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the use of R-material in asphalt mixtures with a PMB type binder. The work is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the acquisition of R-material by road milling, the use of R-material, the binder used in the practical part of the work and the types of recycling. The practical part deals with the design of four types of asphalt mixtures with different content of R-material in the asphalt mixture. It also deals with the description of functional tests of asphalt mixtures and the results of these tests.

Evaluation of properties of PMB containing binder from RAP
Měšťanová, Petra ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
Subject of this diploma thesis is to describe the effect of adding different amount of aged binder recovered from RAP on the change of properties of polymer modified bitumen. The RAP containing unmodified bitumen and the RAP where we can expect bitumen modification are used to recover binder. The binder obtained from RAP is dosed into the virgin binder in amount of 15 %, 30 % and 50 %. The methods of recycling of flexible pavements, extraction and regeneration of asphalt binders, rejuvenating of their properties and methods of empirical and functional laboratory tests are described in the theoretical part. The practical part deals with evaluating and comparison of the results mixed binders properties.

The evaluation of properties of fine aggregate for asphalt mixtures
Kadlček, Jakub ; Sychra, Martin (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on evaluation of properties of fine aggregate by means of laboratory tests. Fine aggregate evaluation was performed using sieving test, laser diffraction, delta ring and ball test, bitumen number test, uncompacted void content of fine aggregate according to AASHTO T 304, voids of dry compacted filler (Rigden) test and particle density of filler. Laboratory research has led to the discovery of some properties of fine aggregate and their dependencies.

Dosage of rejuvenating agents to asphalt mixture with high content of RAP
Čumíčková, Markéta ; Coufalíková, Iva (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the appropriate dosage of rejuvenating agents in asphalt mixtures with high content of RAP. The empirical and functional laboratory tests are described in the theoretical part. The practical part deals with the estimation of the optimal amount of rejuvenating agents by means of laboratory tests so that the rheological properties of the degraded asphalt binder can be restored by suitable dosing into the RAP. As part of the TAČR ZÉTA project, an experimental section of asphalt mixture containing 50 % of the RAP and an appropriate amount of the rejuvenating agents was created. The aim of the thesis is to find an optimal dosage of the rejuvenating agents in the samples of the RAP and laboratory aged asphalt binder of gradation 50/70, to determine the effectiveness of selected rejuvenating agents and to monitor changes in the parameters of the experimental section during the period of time.

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.

Stone mastic asphalts with recycled materials - bituminous binders properties
Dzurková, Veronika ; Coufalíková, Iva (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the issue of adding R-material to stone mastic asphalt mixtures (SMA). The material was obtained from a plant that put the mixture in the test section on the road II/227. The theoretical part describes the problems of recycling of asphalt roads, bituminal binder theory and problems associated with the addition of R-material to hot asphalt mixtures. Bituminal binders from mixtures with different percentages of R-material were extracted in the practical part. Empirical and functional tests were performed on these binders. The aim of the thesis is to determine the influence of the presence of R-material on SMA asphalt mixture in terms of properties of asphalt binder.
