Aging of Bituminous Binders
Veselý, Petr
Bituminous binder in asphalt mixture is exposed to the influence of aging, which is intensified during mixing and paving, as high temperature strongly accelerates the aging of bituminous binders. The aging of the binder is generally divided into short-term and long-term aging. The work focuses on comparing the properties of bitumen binders that differ in penetration value and aging level. All binders in the study are divided into these aging categories, and their properties are compared with the properties of unaged binders. The comparison of properties is carried out using basic empirical tests (penetration and softening point) as well as rheological tests (complex shear modulus and phase angle).

Low temperature properties of asphalt binders and mixtures
Veselý, Petr ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
Today’s society is highly reliable on a working road infrastructure, which is because of collective efforts already built in terms of main net of roadways, and the attention is now paid to its service life primarily from a point of view of a climate change which is causing more frequent temperature extremes. This thesis sets its goal to perform basic tests for bitumen, especially ones dealing with low temperature properties, on types of bitumen usually used in out day to day world and asphalt mixtures made with those types of bitumen. The theoretical part talks about the basic definition of bitumen and studies performed on the similar issue. Practical part of the thesis is focused on performing the tests of bitumen and asphalt, which include but are not limited to, penetration test, softening point test, critical temperature detected by method by Fraasse and the bending beam rheometer and the test to set critical temperature of asphalt by using TSRST. At the end of the thesis the evaluation of results and its mutual correlation is performed.

Adhesion of bituminous binders to aggregate
Vlk, Petr ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
In 2005 the revised European standard 12697-11:2005 [1] was introduced offering a choice of three different methods. The static method described in part B has some similarities with the replaced Swiss standard for the determination of the affinity between bitumen and aggregates [2] and Czech standard for adhesions of asfalt binder to aggregates ČSN 73 6161 [3]. The result of this study is to compare the static method described in the [3] and a draft changes by Swiss research project [4] with the current revision of the European Standard 12697-11: 2005.

Force ductility of asphalt binders
Smolka, Zdeněk ; Coufalík, Pavel (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis describes a laboratory characteristics of bituminous binders. There will be described the principle and results of laboratory tests, needle penetration, softening point by ring and ball and force ductility. The tests will be performed on samples of the bituminous binders with different degrees of modification.

Cold asphalt mixtures
Spáčil, Petr ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part consists of explanation of the problem. The thesis includes definitions as Bitumen, Asphalt Mixture, Asphalt Binder, Cut-back Bitumen and Viscosity. The practical part is focused mainly on the description of the test methods used on Asphalt Binders and Mixtures which were intended for repairs. It describes differences between used Asphalt Binders and explains and describes other used materials. The practical part compares the mixtures of different Cut-back Bitumen. It describes the production process and project of Cut-back bitumen mixture, the production process of individual test solids and compares the differences with hot made asphalt mixture. It also describes the analysis of volumetric, mechanical-physical and funcional tests in purpose of evaluating the differences between standard Cut-back Bitumen and new biofluxed asphalt binder.

Filla, Josef ; Karafiátová, Hana (referee) ; Mohelníková, Jitka (advisor)
Thesis describes the design layout and processing of project documentation for execution residential house with one housing squad on sloping allotment number 140/12 in catastral of the Vohančice. It is an object for family housing of four members with accomodation possibility for two guests. This object have one underground storey, two aboveground storey with flat roof and terrace in second aboveground storey and entrance to garden from first aboveground storey. Documentation includes an assessment of the building envelope and classification using the label, as well as fire safety of building. Theoretical part of this thesis i solving problems with proposing of the stairs.

Study of Lignite Organic Matter
Doskočil, Leoš ; Maršálek, Roman (referee) ; Havelcová, Martina (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
This work deals with the study of organic matter in the South Moravian lignite using the available physico-chemical methods and the results obtained are eventually considered for non-energy applications of lignite. Lignite organic matter was studied by degradation methods, which included CuO oxidation, thermochemolysis with TMAH and DFRC method. Special attention was paid to the lignite oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, which was carried out under different reaction conditions (time and temperature). Thermal degradation was performed in an inert atmosphere in order to observation of chemical change of lignite (including lignite after extraction with chloroform, demineralised lignite, remineralised lignete) during pyrolysis by means of various methods, especially TG-FTIR for analysis of gaseous products and FTIR for analysis the residual lignite after pyrolysis. Further, water-soluble fractions from lignite were characterized, particularly in terms of the content of organic substances.

Resistance of bituminous binder to ageing
Rous, Vojtěch ; Frýbort, David (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
Asphalt binder ageing and experiences with various ageing methods from abroad are described in this thesis. The practical part deals with the RTFOT aging and with the influence of the duration of this test. The comparison of test results is conducted before and after the aging by values of needle penetration, elastic recovery, softening point and resilience tests are evaluated and compared.
