ASFALT IS LIQUID
Prokop, Tomáš ; Novotný, Jaromír (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
This installation is thematicly associated with my long term sold problems which is connected with loneliness, parting, leaving. I put the stress on the act of physical nearness which looks like a touch or contact but in fact it isn't so. Just this nearness generates inside tension. As you can see the installation is based on simple principles resulting from the abilities of a material. It is about two blocks of asphalt which spontanously produce a pressure on the glass. In this case the glass has the importance of imaginary dividing level which prevents a physical contact. A glass obstacle makes the fusion of the two asphalt blocks impossible. Despite a volatile character, asphalt will run down. The installation results from a human standard because the blocks of asphalt have a human proportion. I give the blocks a statute of beings who long for a touch but without success. The fusion is impossible.

Influence of temperature on the penetration of asphalt binders
Koblížek, Ondřej ; Koudelka,, Tomáš (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with an influence of temperature on the needle penetration results of tested bitumens in various test temperatures. The theoretical part describes the issue of laboratory tests in the world. This work also describes the american research program called SHRP (American Highway Research Program). The following part explains used test methods in detail (determination of needle penetration, determination of the softening point – ring and ball method). The practical part briefly introduces used materials and determines the results of laboratory tests and their comparison.

Recycling of asphalt mixtures with higher amount of RAP
Klimek, Matěj ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The theoretical part of the diploma thesis recapitulates the existing literature in the field of recycling asphalt mixtures with a higher content of RAP (Reclaimed asphalt pavement). The practical part of the diploma thesis examines changes in the properties of asphalt mixtures with a higher content of RAP, due to changes in mixing time. Five mixtures have been proposed for this research. It is an asphalt mixture intended for the road abrasive layer (ACO 11+). Reference mixture "A" without RAP, with a standard mixing time of 25 seconds. Mixture "B" with 40% RAP, without rejuvenator, with an extended mixing time of 40 seconds. Mixture "C" with 40% RAP, with rejuvenator and standard mixing time. Mixture "D" with 40% RAP with rejuvenator and extended mixing time of 40 seconds. Mixture "E" with 40% RAP, with rejuvenator and extended mixing time of 55 seconds.

Influence of boundary conditions on the aging index of asphalt binders
Štohlová, Barbora ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with an influence of several boundary conditions on the aging index of various modified asphalt binders. In the thesis there is rheology and modification of asphalt binders, types of ageing (short-term, long-term) and used tests (needle penetration, softening point, complex shear modulus, phase angle, aging tests) described. In the second part there is a brief description of used materials and comparison of the test results on these materials.

Use of polymers in road constructions
Klusková, Jana ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the use of recycled polymers in asphalt mixtures. In the theoretical part of the thesis there is discussed the global issue of plastic waste including the experience of foreign countries, where this technology has already been introducted and used. The practical part is devoted to the proposal of using recycled plastic in asphalt mixture, description of used laboratory tests and the evaluating the effect of low-density polyethylen (LDPE) on the asphalt mixture type AC. There were performed tensile strenght tests, water resistant tests and stiffness modulus tests in the laboratory (E). The output of this work is an evaluation of measured values, processing of results and their interpretation depending on the possible use of this technology in Czech republic.

Design of asphalt concrete mixture and determinantion of the resistance against permanent deformation
Němec, Jan ; Matoušek, David (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problem regarding asphalt concrete mixtures, concretely ACO 11+. This type of mixture has low resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) while high temperatures are present. The binder and aggregate tests regarding physical and mechanical properties were carried out. Subsequently the new mixture was designed on the basis of stricter requirement for grading envelope and air void content. The design mixture was tested for resistance to permanent deformation. From the obtained results the change in the national annex of the standard ČSN EN 13108-1 is considered in terms of change in testing temperature for some kinds of binders. The same tests were conducted in others asphalt laboratories in the Czech Republic to ensure the maximum comparability.
