Effect of Grain Size of Waste Glass on Properties of Alkali Activated Aluminosilicate Composites
Novák, Václav ; Vyšvařil, Martin (referee) ; Bayer, Patrik (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the use of the waste glass with different fineness on alkali - activated composites, mainly based on slag and fly ash. The theoretical part is focused on materials that are most used for alkaline activation - slag, fly ash and their composites with waste glass. The theoretical part also deals with the alkaline activation of composites from these materials and the factors that influences the microstructure and properties of these composites. In the experimental part were prepared composites from slag and fly ash with a waste glass as substitute. These composites then have been examined on mechanical properties and microstructure, also how different fineness of glass influences these properties. Then it will be decided whether it is economically advantageous grinding waste glass to finer fractions

Possibilities of roman cements preparation by modification of limestone sludges
Petr, Jiří ; Koplík, Jan (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
It is obvious that binders based on the portland clinker will still play the most important role in the building materials industry. Their high quality, the existence of standards and the affordability are the main reasons. Together with this there is of course an appreciable need for decreasing of energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and utilization of secondary raw materials. The roman cement is the possible answer to all of these requests. This historically experienced hydraulic binder, relatively less demanding for the quality of the raw material, is fired by the temperature below the sintering point and even though it does not achieve as good mechanical properties as the portland cement does, in some applications it could be re-established. This would ultimately lead to considerable savings both in the energy and the carbon dioxide emissions.

The development of composites based on alkali-activated matrices resistant to extreme temperatures
Ševčík, Marek ; Šácha, Libor (referee) ; Dufka, Amos (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the development of composites from alkali activated materials (AAM) and their resistance to extreme temperatures. The theoretical part describes alkaline activation and precursors for the production of AAM. Furthermore, the problem of the effect of extreme temperatures on these materials is described. In the experimental part, the optimal silicate modulus with respect to the properties of AAM was gradually determined, and the effect of extreme temperatures on the AAM matrix was verified. In the next stage, the effect of the filler with respect to the behavior at extreme temperatures was tested and then the final formulation was optimized.

Design of Hydraulic Burner Mouting
Princ, Pavel ; Zimmerman, Martin (referee) ; Dvořáček, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with constructional solution of gas burner clamping and control. The first part is dedicated to the general treatise about artificial aggregate production and its usage. Following parts look into possibilities of guarding the level of charge, which has just under burner high temperatures around 900 - 1000 °C. Proposal of mechanism, which keeps burner in constant height above the level, is done in last part..

Blended alkali-activated aluminosilicate binders
Mizerová, Cecílie ; Bayer, Patrik (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
The first part of the work presents a summary of the current knowledge of two-component blended alkali-activated binders based on blast furnace slag, fly ash, metakaolin and ground brick with emphasis on their workability, microstructure, mechanical properties and durability. In the experimental part the alkali-activated binders with different ratio of fly ash and metakaolin were made to compare their workability and mechanical properties. The binder structure was evaluated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry. From the literature review and my own achievements it can be concluded that the combination of single precursors has a positive effect on the majority of the assessed properties of the material.

New external thermal insulation composite system taking in to account the sustainable use of natural resources
Sokola, Lubomír ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (referee) ; Vejmelková,, Eva (referee) ; Nosek,, Karel (referee) ; Žižková, Nikol (advisor)
The work is focused on the development of an environmentally friendly external thermal insulation composite system in terms of product composition and composition of the whole system. The intention is to develop an alternative to standard external thermal insulation composite systems. Undoubtely, standard systems have a contribution to energy savings (primary role), but their actual production and composition is also a burden on the environment. The research is focused onthe development of adhesive and leveling substance and plaster using progressive material with phase transformation and energy by-product (fly ash). Furthermore, it is focused on the selection of insulation from renewable sources. Therefore, there is paid attention to the overall composition of the thermal insulation system in order to achieve the most effective impact with respect to the environment. The goal is to achieve secondary energy and resource savings due to the composition of components and also the composition of the entire system.

Possibilities of using different types of admixtures in shotcrete technology
Berčík, Martin ; Brožovský, Jiří (referee) ; Hubáček, Adam (advisor)
The Bachelor’s thesis is conceived in the form of research findings on current knowledge of inert and active ingredients and their effects on the shotcrete. It focuses mainly on the composition of individual ingredients, their function executing in the concrete mix and explains how they affect the selected physical and mechanical properties. The work enlightes the importance of using co-products from the industry production as an additive to concrete in terms of both ecological and partly economical.

Rehydration of alkali-activated slag after high temperature loading
Fialová, Barbora ; Bayer, Patrik (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
Ground granulated blast furnace slag is a by-product of the steel industry and is often used in combination with ordinary Portland cement as a binder in concrete. When concrete is exposed to high temperatures, physical and chemical transformations lead to significant loss of mechanical properties. This study aims to investigate the effect of high temperatures and rehydration on the mechanical properties, microstructure and phase composition of alkali activated slag. The results of the research could make an important contribution to decisions made concerning the reconstruction of structures affected by fire. In suitable cases it would be possible to regenerate parts of a structure instead of totally rebuilding it.

Verification of different types of fly ash for production of artificial aggregate
Zahálka, Milan ; Donát, Pavel (referee) ; Drochytka, Rostislav (advisor)
Diploma thesis gives an overview of artificial lightweight aggregates based on fly ash. Fly ash such as the residues of coal burning is currently one of the most used secondary raw materials for new building materials for research papers. The results shows that the secondary energy products are not just fully substitute the primary component, but in many cases improves the final properties of building products. Wide complex of fly ashes not only from domestic sources was tested and it`s main properties important for it`s further application was determined. Laboratory production of artificial aggregates based on fly ash made by sintering and also by cold bonding and following manufacture of artificial fly ash aggregates in technological conditions are also solved. The thesis is simultaneously concentrate on review of the suitability of fly ash aggregates in lightweight concrete.It was found that the highest quality fly ash for the production of sintered fly ash aggregate is fly ash and FBC ash is the best for the production of cold bonded aggregates. It was also verified that both types of aggregates are applicable to lightweight concrete class LC 20/22. The vast majority of manufactured aggregates is suitable for the production of lightweight concrete class LC 30/33. It was demonstrated that the sintered fly ash aggregates can be also used for high strength lightweight concrete class LC 50/55. Tests have also verified that all tested fly ashes and products produced from them meet the requirements of legislation on environment.
