Elastomer fillers as a potential raw material for concrete and mortar products
Jankech, Filip ; Balog, Oliver (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
To attain a sustainable development in the field of building materials, it is necessary to consider environmental, economic, and social aspects of the industrial production. This thesis addresses the first two aspects. Both theoretical and practical research were implemented in order to study the possibility to replace the commonly used RDPs, that are being used in the dry-mix mortar industry as a primary additive, with the industrially processed elastomer waste materials, such as recycled tire rubber. The review of the scientific literature processed within the theoretical research discloses the state of the art in the field of polymer modification of the mortar products and the effect of the commonly used modifiers and elastomer fillers on the performance of mortar and concrete products. The experimental research was implemented to study the possibility of the replacement of the RDPs for the elastomer fillers. The performance of fresh and hardened mortar containing various amounts of elastomer particles was studied. The results indicate, that the partial replacement could be feasible without worsening the performance of the product.

Study of concrete properties with nanoparticles
Michnová, Kamila ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This diploma thesis discusses the basics of nanotechnology as a science and nanotechnology of concrete. Additionally, it describes carbon nanotubes and the possibilities of their dispersion using high shear mixing and sonication. This thesis further provides findings about ultrasonic dispersion parameters and characteristics of materials with the addition of carbon nanotubes. The experimental of part of this thesis focuses on the possibility of dispersing carbon nanotubes, deals with the issue of incorporating carbon nanotubes into the concrete matrix and describes its effects on the final properties of concrete. It has been observed to which extent the carbon nanotubes may affect selected physico-mechanical properties and durability of concrete.

FRP composite materials resistance to the effects of selected corrosive environments
Mičkal, Petr ; Prokeš,, Jan (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This thesis deals with monitoring of the durability of FRP reinforcements in alkaline environments with differing temperature exposures. The theoretical part of the thesis consists of a general description of the FRP composites, the manufacturing of these FRP reinforcements using pultrusion technology, the resistance of these composites in aggressive alkaline environments, and the influence of temperature on the speed and manner of degradation. In the experimental part of this thesis, the FRP reinforcements were placed in an alkaline environment tempered at different temperatures (20 °C, 40 °C, 60 °C). Subsequently, any optical physical changes of the reinforcements were described and evaluated by the use of optical microscopy and the destructive tests of these reinforcements.

Studying the behavior of high strength concrete at high temperatures
Sovová, Kateřina ; Kirnbauer, tech Johannes (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This master’s thesis is divided into two parts; practical and theoretical. The theoretical part of this study describes the influence of high temperature on concrete structure and chemical, mechanical and physical changes, which take place during the exposure to high temperatures. The thesis also evaluates spalling of concrete and the methods to prevent it, as well as the function of polypropylene and cellulose fibers in the concrete. The practical part deals with design, production and testing of the cement-based concrete with the use of different fibers (polypropylene fibers and cellulose fibers). The properties and the means of applications in high temperatures are also included. The practical part also assesses the influence of high temperature on strength, porosity, visual changes of specimens, changes of surface and degradation of testing specimens due to heat loads according to normative heat curve (ISO 834) and also according to hydrocarbon curve. For clearer arrangement, the experimental tests are divided into two parts and the measured values are evaluated at the end of each part. The conclusion resumes all data obtained by testing and evaluates what is the most suitable formulation. The approach for further research is also discussed.

Studying the effect of the application of inorganic nanofibers in high strength concretes
Sedláček, Daniel ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This thesis summarizes the current knowledge of reinforcement of concrete with nanofibers and conducted research on the issue of the use of inorganic nanofibers in ultrahighperformance concrete. Up to now, most researches focuses on the reinforcement using carbon nanotubes and nanofibers and inorganic nanofibers remained in the background of interest. Due to their different chemical properties, is not only a question of their influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of concrete, but also the preparation of nanofiber suspension which is not explored such as in the case of carbon nanotubes and nanofibres.

Čonka, Ladislav ; Sitek,, Libor (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the current issues of concrete resistance to high temperatures. The theoretical part has been processed the changes taking place in the individual components of concrete and changes affecting the physical - mechanical properties of concrete and color-changing effects manifesting high. In the experimental part of the load was, carried concrete test samples to a temperature of 400 ° C, 600 ° C and 800 ° C. After the thermal load, has been on test samples tested changes in physico - mechanical properties, especially concrete compressive strength, water absorption but also a visual assessment of the concrete surface

Study possibilities of nanotechnology in cement composites
Kardošová, Romana ; Bodnárová, Lenka (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The aim of this paper is to summarize and assess the possibility of using nanoparticles as additives in concrete. These particles have the ability to improve the mechanical and physical properties of cement composites or even gave them brand new ones. Industrial use is hampered by effective incorporation of nanoparticles into the matrix, the health and environmental risks and, last but not least, the financial costs. The experimental part of the thesis deals with the dispersing nanosilica and nanometakaolin particles in aqueous solution and their subsequent integration into the structure of cement mortar.

Impact of input parameters on the quality of mixing dispersion of nanoparticles
Cederová, Kristýna ; Hela, Rudolf (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with nanoparticles. It examines the process of dispersion of nanoparticles in particular. Nanoparticles have the ability to improve some physical properties of cement composite materials. One, but important obstacle for correct application of nanoparticles is its dispersion. The experimental part of the thesis is dedicated to the dispersion of nanoparticles. Properties of cement composites were set in a time of 7 and 28 days. Nanoparticles were examined under transmission electron microscope.

Šindelek, David ; Bodnárová, Lenka (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with a study of light construction concrete with an addition of steel fibre which monitors its impact of the physical mechanical properties. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is focused on characteristics and a design of light concrete within the class 35MPa and over with the density within the class of D1,8.

The thesis deals with monitoring the characteristics of cement composite using nanoparticles. The theoretical part describes nanoparticles production, their characteristics and influence on cement composites, both in fresh and hardened state. In the practical part of the thesis physically-mechanical characteristics of cement composites with nanoparticles are determined. The microstructure of the composites was monitored on a scanning electron microscope for 1, 3, 7 and 28 days of maturing. And finally mechanical characteristics of the composite and the reference samples without nanoparticles were compared.
