Utilization of waste glass in cement composites
Gottwaldová, Aneta ; Dufka, Amos (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with the processing of waste glass in cement composites. Bachelor thesis includes a search theoretical and experimental part. Specifically, it was verified by fluorescent waste glass and glass screen at a dose of 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight % of a batch of cement. Properties of composites were examined after 7, 28, 56 and 90 days. We monitored TG analysis and XRD analysis of cement composites with waste glass.

Study of the interphase region of wood bonds
Chlup, David ; Dufka, Amos (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with summarizing knowledge on issues related to the penetration depth of the adhesive into the wood structure. In the thesis they are described all adhesion theories. We focus on the effect of viscosity and durability bond line according to varying amounts of filler adhesive. Furthermore, it is described some microscopic techniques, which measure the penetration of the adhesive into the cell structure.

The development of composites based on alkali-activated matrices resistant to extreme temperatures
Ševčík, Marek ; Šácha, Libor (referee) ; Dufka, Amos (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the development of composites from alkali activated materials (AAM) and their resistance to extreme temperatures. The theoretical part describes alkaline activation and precursors for the production of AAM. Furthermore, the problem of the effect of extreme temperatures on these materials is described. In the experimental part, the optimal silicate modulus with respect to the properties of AAM was gradually determined, and the effect of extreme temperatures on the AAM matrix was verified. In the next stage, the effect of the filler with respect to the behavior at extreme temperatures was tested and then the final formulation was optimized.

The research of the behavior of composites based on inorganic matrices in extreme conditions
Ballon, Marek ; Bydžovský, Jiří (referee) ; Dufka, Amos (advisor)
Alkali activated materials have great potential to be a material that could compete with Portland cement. Compared to concretes based on Portland cement they often exhibit greater durability and resistance to aggressive agents such as sulphates. Also their resistance to high temperature is substantial. This work is devoted to research on behavior of alkali-activated materials, particularly fly ash activated by sodium water glass and sodium hydroxide, exposed to these extreme conditions. The evaluation of properties was performed based on the detection of physico-mechanical parameters and microstructure examination by RTG diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Possibilities of increasing the durability of shotcrete
Merta, Michael ; Dufka,, Amos (referee) ; Hubáček, Adam (advisor)
This thesis deals with an issue of shotcrete and possibilities of increasing its durability. Theoretical part of the thesis is conceived in a form of summary of current knowledge concerning shotcrete. The emphasis is mainly on the possibilities of using shotcrete in exposure classes XA and XF. The experimental part focuses on laboratory testing of shotcrete. Waterproofness of shotcrete, its surface resistance to water and chemical de-icing agents was tested with regard to a development of its compresive strength during maturation.
