Properties of reinforcing glass-fiber geogrids
Veselý, Petr ; Šperka, Pavel (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
A proper road infrastructure is an essential part of today’s economy. Usage of roadways should be safe and its flow should be easy going. Primary net of roadways is already in place and attention shifts to its maintenance. Because of constantly increasing loads of heavy traffic, roadways are degrading at a faster pace, while there are still smaller time windows and less avialable resources for their reconstruction. That is why there has been rising demand for pavements that last longer and are able to carry higher weights. With respect to the rural roads it becomes obvious because of low amount of resources for their maintenance, that it is necessary to find an effective way to enhance pavements. From the foregoing it can be safe to say, that there is a clear need for reliable, durable and cost-effective technology of maintenance, such as the use of grids in asphalt pavements. This thesis deals with properties of geogrids made of glass fiber after its compaction as well as its effects on reduction or elimination of spreading of cracks in pavements.

Usage of foam bitumen technology
Machel, Ondřej ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the production of warm mix asphalts, using the foam bitumen technology. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is focused on the basic division of roadway constructions, particularly on warm mix asphalts. The aim of the practical part was to find out whether the produced asphalt mixture retains its functional properties when the operating temperature is reduced. For this purpose, two asphalt mixtures of the ACO 11+ type at operating temperature of 150 °C and reduced operating temperature of 130 °C were made. Functional tests and empirical and functional tests were carried out on the produced asphalt mixtures and the extracted bitumen binders respectively. In the conclusion of the thesis, the results of the tests are mutually compared.

Evaluation of Selected Properties of Asphalt Mixtures with High Air Void Content
Jakub, Tomáš ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on selected properties of asphalt mixtures with higher air-voids content. The first, theoretical part of the work deals with summary of the available literature. Especially in terms of the distribution of mixtures with higher air-voids content and basic effects of air-voids content behavior of the asphalt mixtures. The second, parctical part of the work deals with determinine properties of two asphalt mixtures, namely: porous asphalt (PA 8) and mastix asphalt with higher air-voids content (SMA NH 8). At first is described used test‘s methods and used materials. Within the work, some tests were modified in order to simulate the effect of frost and salt on asphalt mixtures. An integral part of the practical part is the determintation of water resistence (ITSR), frost and salt of the prepared mixture, their mutual comparison and comparison with existing regulations.

Use of special binders for recycling of asphalt mixtures at mixing plants
Pěch, Pavel ; Špaček, Petr (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The thesis deals with the matter of usage of special asphalt binders for production of asphalt mixtures containing recycled materials in asphalt plant. For comparison analysis of characteristics of special binder used in roads is necessary to compose different mixtures of asphalt – one with binder containing R-materials, and another benchmark mixture with binder used in common mixtures without recycled materials. Investigation of features of mixtures with different binders is carried out by selected performance tests of asphalt mixtures. Evaluation and comparison of the results is described in the final section of the thesis.

Recycled material in Stone mastic asphalts
Machel, Ondřej ; Coufalíková, Iva (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of adding s Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) to the wearing courses of asphalt mixtures, particularly of the SMA 11S type. The thesis consists of two parts. The theoretical part is focused on the topic in general and it describes the way it is obtained, stored and used with the help of the hot recycling method. The practical part's focus are two mixtures used for laboratory testing, containing 30 % and 50 % RAP of the SMA type. It includes information about the test section, description of the mixture production and of the tests performed and it provides commentary on their results. Finally, the results are compared with the SMA 11S reference mix without RAP.

Usage of of common reclaimed asphalt in asphalt mixtures
Přívara, Jakub ; Coufalíková, Iva (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on adding of RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) to the wearing asphalt courses flexible pavements. Specifically it is SMA 11S asphalt mixture. The theoretical part describes issues of ecology and recycling. The practical part deals with bitumen recovery from SMA mixtures with different added ratios of RAP and assessment of basic empirical and functional tests on the bituminous binder. The verification of properities of modified bituminous binder used in this quality SMA mixtures is also introduced.

Foam asphalt mixtures
Brtníková, Tereza ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is mainly focused on methods for reducing the working temperature in the production of hot mix asphalt and the main reasons for this. Most attention is paid to the warm mix asphalt, mainly foam asphalt technology. In practical part are describes working procedures of individual tests on asphalt mixtures and recovered bitumen binders. The tests were performed on 3 types of ACO 11+, one was made with working temperature 160°C without foamed bitumen and the other two with foamed bitumen,one with working temperature 160°C and the second 140°C. Then were the results compared.

Dependency of Asphalt Mixtures Low Temperature Properties on Binder Properties
Veselý, Petr
The paper deals with results of tests for low temperature properties of asphalt mixtures in correlation with results of tests on low temperature properties of the bitumen used in those. Properties of materials used in temperatures, which with changing climate keep approaching the critical value, are still very current topic, which cannot be overlooked. The aim of this paper is to point out the extent in which we can affect these properties with different binders. For this purpose, low temperature tests were carried out which include the thermal stress restrained specimen test to set critical temperature of asphalt mixture, Fraasse breaking point and the bending beam rheometer.

Low temperature properties of asphalt binders and mixtures
Veselý, Petr ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
Today’s society is highly reliable on a working road infrastructure, which is because of collective efforts already built in terms of main net of roadways, and the attention is now paid to its service life primarily from a point of view of a climate change which is causing more frequent temperature extremes. This thesis sets its goal to perform basic tests for bitumen, especially ones dealing with low temperature properties, on types of bitumen usually used in out day to day world and asphalt mixtures made with those types of bitumen. The theoretical part talks about the basic definition of bitumen and studies performed on the similar issue. Practical part of the thesis is focused on performing the tests of bitumen and asphalt, which include but are not limited to, penetration test, softening point test, critical temperature detected by method by Fraasse and the bending beam rheometer and the test to set critical temperature of asphalt by using TSRST. At the end of the thesis the evaluation of results and its mutual correlation is performed.
