Cold asphalt mixtures
Spáčil, Petr ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part consists of explanation of the problem. The thesis includes definitions as Bitumen, Asphalt Mixture, Asphalt Binder, Cut-back Bitumen and Viscosity. The practical part is focused mainly on the description of the test methods used on Asphalt Binders and Mixtures which were intended for repairs. It describes differences between used Asphalt Binders and explains and describes other used materials. The practical part compares the mixtures of different Cut-back Bitumen. It describes the production process and project of Cut-back bitumen mixture, the production process of individual test solids and compares the differences with hot made asphalt mixture. It also describes the analysis of volumetric, mechanical-physical and funcional tests in purpose of evaluating the differences between standard Cut-back Bitumen and new biofluxed asphalt binder.

Coarse graded asphalt mixtures
Mucha, Ondřej ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis is focused on asphalt mixtures that contain coarser aggregates than currently allowed by technical regulations in the Czech Republic. The introductory part of the work describes the composition of asphalt mixtures, their division and use. Further deals with foreign experience with these types of asphalt mixtures and their use in the surrounding European countries and in the United States of America. The aim of this work is to obtain a theoretical overview of knowledge about coarse graded asphalt mixtures from foreign sources and research.

Microsurfacing using Reclaimed Asphal Pavement
Kolesniková, Simona ; Valenta, Jakub (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
The road network in the Czech Republic is almost 55,738 km long and its maintenance has been underfunded for a long time. It is therefore necessary to look for ways to extend the overall service life of roads. Microsurfacings belong to the emulsion slurry layers and are made up of a thin layer of a mixture of aggregate and modified asphalt emulsion. It is a pavement maintenance technology used to extend the service life of pavements by 5 to 9 years. As the supply of quality aggregate is gradually decreasing and the price of feedstock for microsurfacing is increasing, the possibility of incorporating R-material into this technology needs to be addressed. This thesis deals with the replacement of natural aggregates in microsurface R-material in the amount of 100 %. In the framework of the work, the formulation of the microsurface with R-material was optimized.

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.

Coarse-grained asphalt mixtures
Brida, Peter ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the comparison of the influence coarse-grained aggragate on the properties af asphalt concrete. The theoretical part describes issue of production and usage of asphalt mixtures. The practical part evaluates multiple types of asphalt mixtures and describing their properties. Stiffness by a two-point bending test, a wheel tracking test and low-temperature cracking and properties by uniaxial tension test were used to evaluate the properties of the mixtures.

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.

Influence of aging on selected properties of asphalt binders
Rimel, Jindřich ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
In this bachelor’s thesis, the properties of four asphalt binders with different degree of modification are compared. The influence of aging on their properties is examined. In the theoretical part, the types of aging, their impact on binders, basic laboratory methods of aging and the details of performed tests are explained. In the practical part, the results of tests are evaluated and the change of properties before and after aging are compared.

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)

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.
