Research on effects of pulsating water jets on concrete
Sitek, Libor ; Bodnárová, L.
An article briefly presents results achieved during laboratory and in-situ tests of removing surface layers of concrete exposed to various environments using several types of high-velocity water jets commonly used in the rehabilitation praxis or advanced water jets the use of which is expected in the near future. The effects of pulsating jets were always compared with classical continuous jets under identical or similar working conditions.

Study of behavior of concrete and cement based composite materials exposed to high temperatures
Bodnárová, L. ; Horák, D. ; Válek, J. ; Hela, R. ; Sitek, Libor
The paper describes possibilities of observation of behaviour of concrete and cement based composite material exposed to high temperatures. Nowadays, for large-scale tests of behaviour of concrete exposed to high temperatures, testing devices of certified fire testing stations in the Czech Republic and surrounding states are used. These tests are quite expensive. For experimental verification of smaller test specimens, a testing device was built at the Technical University in Brno, where tests of thermal loading of concrete tests specimens of various sizes can be carried out (dimensions up to 800 x 800 x 800 mm or slabs up to 1100 mm of length). The testing device opens new ways of observation of behaviour of concrete and cement based composite materials exposed to high temperatures as well as preparation of specimens for observation of interaction of water jet and concrete degraded by action of high temperatures.

Effects of water jet on heat-affected concretes - laboratory tests
Klich, Jiří ; Sitek, Libor ; Zeleňák, Michal ; Hlaváček, Petr ; Foldyna, Josef ; Bodnárová, L. ; Válek, J.
The paper is dealing with the effects of flat high-speed water jet on concretes affected by high temperature. Research should help to correct use of water jet technology in repair works on concrete structures especially after wildfires in tunnels, underground garages, etc., which are exposed to enormous thermal stress.
