Polymer-cement composites of increased refractoriness
Žůrová, Marcela ; Mončeková, Miroslava (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The subject of the barchelor thesis is the preparation of high-strength polymer – cement composites based on the calcium aluminate cement and polyvinylalcohol. For macrodefect–free (MDF) composites are characterized by low porosity and the absence of microcracks. The main problem of the MDF composites is decreased resistance to water or moisture, with a decrease in strength. These compounds are interesting with its mechanical properties, which are greater than the strength of common materials (wood, glass, PMMA,…). Represent perspective type of material that could be used for construction purposes. The thermal degradation of the polymer, however, there are changes in the structure of the composite and to the deterioration of mechanical properties. This thesis is focused on characterization of the effect of temperature change on the structure, material composition and mechanical properties. The MDF composites were prepared based on calcium aluminate cement, which was gradually replaced by refractory additives. During the work was carried out tests of bending strength at various temperatures. Changes in the composition and structure were characterized by TG – DTA, XRD and SEM analysis.

Possibilities of utilization of solid residues from fluidized bed combustion for preparation of composite Portland cements
Beranová, Denisa ; Šiler, Pavel (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with possibilities of utilization of solid residues from fluidized bed combustion of coal, bed and filter ash, to be used in the production of composite Portland cements. 6 ash types were investigated, of which 3 were bed ash (finely ground) and 3 were filter ash colected from Ledvice, Tisová and Poříčí K8 power plants. The chemical composition of the ash collected was determined and the progress of a hydration reaction monitored, and then samples mixed with Portland clinker were prepared. Their respective compressive strength and flexural strength were then analysed and observations made on the hydration and composition of products of the hydration reaction. Finally the results of selected mixtures were verified with prepared standardized mortars.

Polymer-cement composites for refractory aplications
Zbončák, Marek ; Ptáček, Petr (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with preparation of high-strength polymer-cement composites based on the calcium aluminate cement and polyvinylalcohol. MDF composites are interesting because of their mechanical properties which exceed strengths of the common materials based on the cement and inorganic binders. So they represent perspective kind of material which could be used for construction purposes. Thermal degradation of the polymer leads to structure changes of the composite and reduction of mechanical properties. Therefore thesis is aimed to characterize the influence of the temperature on mechanical properties, structural changes and material composition. Temperature dependence of flexural strength was examined during the work. Changes of composition and structure were characterized by XRD, DTA-TGA in combination with EGA, SEM and EDS analyses. Due to requirement of the material refractoriness there were also tested options of preparation of MDF composites based on phosphates binders which are used in refractory manufacture.

The effect of fly ash on the properties of cement mortars.
Bayer, Petr ; Brandštetr, Jiří (referee) ; Šiler, Pavel (advisor)
The consumption of the cement for construction industries is increased every year. That is associated with greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide CO2. Reduction of greenshouse gas emissions can be achieved by maximisation of the use of cementitious and pozzolanic by-products. As by-product could be used blast furnace slag and fly ash. My bachelor’s thesis is focused on the possibility of the partical replacement of the cement by fly ash. High temperature and fluidized fly ashes will be tested. The goal is to examine the behavior of the cement mortars in compensation of 10, 20, 40 and 60 % by weight of cement by fly ash. The compressive and flexural strength and isoperibolic calorimetry measurement were performed.

Modern Inorganic Building Materials Free of Portland Cement
Sadílek, Jakub ; Opravil, Tomáš (referee) ; Zmrzlý, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on properties of modern construction inorganic ma-terials – geopolymeric concretes. In introductional part of work it is described basic theoretical background, as properties of binders, principles of setting and hardening. For preparation of geopolymer matrix was used secondary or waste materials of energetic and metallurgical industry – fly ashes and slags. In laboratory were prepared four com-positions of geopolymeric concretes combined from geopolymeric matrix with constant compostition and variable composition of aggregates. As aggregates these materials were used: three fractions of quartz sand, steel furnace slag and in one composition also crystals of mineral wollastonit. It was discovered that the use of steel furnace slag as aggregate in geopolymeric concrete has positive influence mainly to compressive strength, but the addition of wollastonite mineral do not evocate expectable increase of mechanical properties of samples.

Flexular Strength and Hydrolytic Stability of FRC/PFC Dental Bi-Material
Dombková, Julie ; Trautmann, Radoslav (referee) ; Poláček, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with the flexural strength of FRC/PFC dental bi-materials and their resistance degree to hydrolysis degradation. The block-shaped samples were exposed to the flexure in three points. The strength and modulus of elasticity were measured by multi-purpose test device called Zwick Z0100. Electron scanning microscope was used for observation of disrupted localities. From the outcomes gained result that the mechanical characteristics are affected by dipping of fibre composite, spatial organization of the support, water absorption of materials used and the matrix and the support adhesion.

Comparison of selected parameters of tensile strength of concrete
Rozsypalová, Iva ; Žítt, Petr (referee) ; Daněk, Petr (advisor)
The thesis deals with a comparison of the selected strength tension properties of the hardened concrete and finding relationships between them. This is essentially a simple tensile strength, tensile flexural strength and tensile splitting strength. The text describe the testing procedures to determine the tensile strength of concrete. Furthermore, there are presented the results of testing on different types of concrete (plain concrete, lightweight concrete, steel-fiber concrete, polymer-fibre concrete and high strength concrete). The conclusion deals with the derivation of dependancy between concrete strengths and comparing the values obtained from the available relations with the results of the tests.

Application of centrally loaded disk on the three supports for strength evaluation of brittle materials
Chlup, Zdeněk ; Kozák, Vladislav ; Supancic, P.
Development in advanced ceramics and brittle matrix composites enables use of these materials for industrial application irrespective of their brittleness. Obtaining relevant mechanical properties is extremely essential for components design. However, mechanical properties corresponding to the real loading conditions are unknown due to absence of testing procedure providing such results. The proposed "ball on three balls" test is a promising method for biaxial loaded components. Aim of this contribution is to describe advantages and limitations when B3B test is used from both configuration and material point of view. Numerical analysis of three-dimensional model at various loading, geometrical and material conditions was used. Optimal testing conditions were determined and possible errors were identified from error analysis.

The role of microstructure in racture behaviour of TiAl based intermetalics
Krahula, Karel ; Prokešová, Zdenka ; Dlouhý, Ivo
The contribution is focused on the analysis of the role of microstructural parameters in fracture behaviour of TiAl intermetalics at room and increased temperatures. Flexural strength and fracture toughness have been evaluated for alloys Ti-40Al-2Cr-2Nb-1B and Ti-46Al-0,7Cr-0,1Si-7Nb-0,2Ni. Positive effect of Nb on fracture resistance has been found; fracture toughness of the high Nb alloy increased at contemporary increase of flexural strength. Fracture surfaces have been evaluated using scanning electron microscopy showing the key role of mechanical twinning in deformation of both alloys followed. As a governing mechanism of crack nucleation microcrack formation at boundaries between mechanical twins and gama grains has been confirmed.

The structural and the fundamental mechanical properties of intermatallics on the base of TiAl
Krahula, Karel ; Dlouhý, Ivo
Gamma TiAl alloys are emerging as a pervasive structural material. Remarkable progresses have been made through refining lamellar microstructure and grains, microalloying, chemistry modification, process development and/or their combination. The main thrust was to enhance resistance to creep deformation, oxidation and high cycle fatigue deformation/failure. Less or even no knowledge have been obtained in the field of the intermetalics fracture at uniaxial or bending loading, there are missing data about their behaviour at the presence of cracks and other defects. The reason is simply in the other properties that are key from application point of view. Due to their brittleness at temperature close to room temperature the investigation of the intermetalics fracture is complicated but promissible provided it bring ideas for the further development of the alloying and microstructure. The paper is focused on the first steps in this field.
