Use of polymers in road constructions
Klusková, Jana ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the use of recycled polymers in asphalt mixtures. In the theoretical part of the thesis there is discussed the global issue of plastic waste including the experience of foreign countries, where this technology has already been introducted and used. The practical part is devoted to the proposal of using recycled plastic in asphalt mixture, description of used laboratory tests and the evaluating the effect of low-density polyethylen (LDPE) on the asphalt mixture type AC. There were performed tensile strenght tests, water resistant tests and stiffness modulus tests in the laboratory (E). The output of this work is an evaluation of measured values, processing of results and their interpretation depending on the possible use of this technology in Czech republic.

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.
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.
Usage of foam bitumens in asphalt mixtures
Venclíková, Michaela ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
In this diploma thesis there are described the issues use of foamed bitumen as binder in asphalt mixtures. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The aim of theoretical part was to elaborate an overview of technologies, which allow to reduce the temperature during the production and laying of asphalt mixtures. The aim of the practical part was to compare the selected empirical and functional parameters of two types of asphalt mixtures produced in two variants, with hot bitumen and foamed bitumen. Attention was paid mainly to stiffness and low temperature parameters.
Usage of recycled material in stone mastic asphalts
Slavíček, Michal ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the designs of asphalt mixtures for the wearing asphalt courses, specifically for the SMA 11S with an added 30 % and 50 % RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement), this material was reclaimed from the wearing asphalt course type SMA. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical and it deals with the recycling of asphalt roads and adding RAP to the new asphalt mixures for the roads. The second part is practical. It deals with the design itself. Two types of SMA were designed, first with a 30 % RAP and second with a 50 % RAP. In those mixtures functional tests of asphalt mixtures were made.The results were compared to the asphalt mixture with 0 % of RAP and with the mixture with 30 % of RAP reclaimed from the wearing, binder and base course together. The results are summed up in the conclusion.
Usage of recycled material in asphalt surface layers
Malá, Markéta ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with adding R - material to the wearing asphalt courses, specifically to the SMA 11S. It has two parts – theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes using R - material in the recycling of roads, different types of recycling and how is this problem handled in the Czech Republic, the practical part deals with the design of three kinds of asphalt mixtures with different added ratios of R – material, describing empirical and functional tests on the bitumen binder and the designed asphalt mixtures and the results of those tests.
Ageing of asphalt binders and mixtures
Štěpanovský, Vlastimil ; Komenda, Radek (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
Diploma thesis is particularly focused on ageing of asphalt mixtures and asphalt binders. In the theoretical part an array of methods simulating short term and long term ageing consequently is introduced. The main objective of the practical part was to carry out the long-term ageing test method BSA (Braunschweiger Alterung). Thereafter, specimens testing for stiffness properties according to CSN EN 12697-26 were made. After conducting the measurement on those, asphalt binder was extracted and processed to follow-up testing. The testing consisted of a range of methods – Penetration CSN EN 1426, Ring and Ball test CSN EN 1427, Determination of the Frass breaking point CSN EN 12593, Determination of complex shear modulus CSN EN 14770 and Dynamic viscosity using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The given results were assessed in the last part in order to evaluate the rate of the binder degradation caused by the method BSA.
Reducing the operating temperature of the production and laying of asphalt mixtures
Komenda, Radek ; Valentin,, Jan (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is the issue of reduction of the operating temperatures in the production and laying asphalt mixtures with a more specific focus on influencing the functional properties of these mixtures, especially low-temperature parameters. The thesis is notionally divided into two parts. The first part refers to the low-temperature asphalt mixtures and the second part pays the attention to asphalt mixtures with an added R-material. For production of asphalt mixtures in the first part of thesis were used five additives and for the second part were used a total of four different asphalt mixtures which differs in the participation of added R-material. Both parts are divided into a theoretical part, which discusses the existing experience, the use of these mixtures and the practical part, which analyses in detail the tested mixture ( the composition and preparation of tested specimens ) and deals with the result of laboratory test. In particular, it is a test of asphalt mixture resistance against the formation of frost cracks according to ČSN EN 12697-46 and by comparing the individual mixtures in comparison with the reference sample and among each other.
