Effect of the use of dispersed fibres on the properties of asphalt mixtures
Provazník, Petr ; Bohuš, Štěpán (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with the topic of using dispersed glass fibers in asphalt mixtures. The theoretical part describes the general properties of glass fibres, their production and use. It also describe issue of dispersed fibers which are currently used as an additive in asphalt mixtures. The practical part deals with behaviour of asphalt mixture which contains dispersed glass fibers. For that reason several test sets with different glass fibre dosages were made. Then individual properties of these test sets were compared with a reference mixture without fibres. The workability of the glass fibres in the asphalt mixture was assessed and after that selected laboratory tests were performed on the produced asphalt mixture namely: water resistence (ITSR), stiffness, wheel tracking, resistence to fatigue.

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.

Re-using Asphalt Reinforcement Geogrids in Asphalt Mixtures
Provazník, Petr ; Sadil, Dominik (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of re-using reinforcing fiberglass grid which are applied to asphalt layers. The theoretical part describes the general properties of reinforcing materials which includes reinforcement grids and also reinforcing dispersed fibres. There is also a characterization of reclaimed asphalt pavement and its current use. The practical part investigates the properties of reclaimed asphalt pavement which contains milled fiberglass grids. For this purpose several sets of test specimens were made of reclaimed asphalt pavement with proportion of milled fiberglass geogrids. The individual properties of the samples were compared with the initial set which did not contain milled grids. Another comparative sample was R-material to which were added Forta-Fi reinforcing fibers. Functional tests ITS and stiffness were performed on the made samples.

Furdaničová, Alice ; Šperka, Pavel (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the use of recycled asphalt with aggregate in a hydraulically bound mixtures. The mixture is determined in the base or sub-base course of the pavement. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis describes the base course of the pavement, the production of recyclates from construction demolition waste, the acquisition and processing of recycled asphalt, the road reuse and recycling. The thesis is enriched by a contribution from the implementation of recycled asphalt laying into the base course of the communication company SKANSKA a.s. and ČNES a.s. The next chapter describes detailed experiences with recycling abroad. The thesis also contains a description of laboratory tests, which are important for evaluating the properties of mixtures with recycled asphalt. The practical part verifies the suitability of the mixture of recycled asphalt and aggregate for the road surface by testing the transverse tensile strength, compressive strength and frost and water resistance. The mixtures used are found to be suitable for pavement base course.

The utilization of the asphalt and concrete recycled materials to roads
Žďára, Zbyněk ; Šperka, Pavel (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
This diploma thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The is a review om the topic of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete and their possible use in road construction in the theoretical part. The individual chapters deal with describing these materials, their production, and their use in construction layers of pavements. In the next chapters the attention is also paid to their problematic features and foreign experience using these materials in pavements. In the practical part, laboratory samples of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete and their mixtures with cement are tested. The main purpose is to verify the applications of these mixtures of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete in the bonded base layers of the pavement. Another purpose is to compare how these mixtures individual properties with different proportions of both components and different amounts of cement will be different. In the end, the two mixtures with the best properties was selected and the modulus of elasticity was experimentally determined for the possibility of replacing the currently used base layers and the economic evaluation of this design was made.

Innovative Asphalt Mixtures for Wearing Course with a Higher Content of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
Spies, Karel ; Hegr, Zdeněk (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with the design of two asphalt mixtures for a wearing course containing 35 % R-material. The asphalt mixtures use a soft bitumen modified with crumb rubber (CRMB) or the unmodified soft binder itself with a penetration grade of 70/100. The work verifies the effect of crumb rubber as a bitumen modifier on the properties of the asphalt mixture with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). At the same time, the work deals with the possibility of using higher amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement only in combination with a softer binder without the use of rejuvenating additives. The properties of asphalt binders and mixtures are verified using suitable functional tests. Furthermore, the proposed mixtures and their results are compared from various perspectives. At the same time, the thesis in the theoretical part deals with the dosing of a reclaimed asphalt pavement into the asphalt mixture and describes the handling and use of reclaimed asphalt pavement in the Czech Republic and abroad

Asphalt Layers using Fibreglass Composite Materials
Sadil, Dominik ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Šperka, Pavel (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with using of reinforcing composite materials in asphalt layers. These geosynthetic materials are in road construction used especially to reduce spreading cracks and extend the service life of the construction. As par of this work, test specimens of different types of asphalt layers were produced. These samples were subjected to laboratory testing, where the results of different reinforced asphalt slabs were compared. Within the diploma thesis primarily deals with the testing of the shear bond strength between asphalt layers in order to determine what are the other influencing factors of the test. Another part of the thesis is the 4-point bending test, during which a special technology in the form of a DIC camera was used to monitor the behavior of the asphalt layer over time.
