The Methodology for Testing the Bond Between FRP Reinforcement and Concrete Under the Influence of High Temperatures and Fire
Zlámalová, Pavlína ; Zlámal, Martin ; Čairović, Đorđe ; Lagiň, Juraj ; Vašátko, David ; Štěpánek, Petr
The determination and understanding of the bond strength between FRP reinforcement and concrete, which ensures the mutual interaction of these materials, are indispensable for the proper, safe, and reliable design of concrete structures with internal reinforcement. This characteristic also serves as a fundamental parameter for designing the anchorage length of the reinforcement.
While it is one of the fundamental characteristics, there is no domestic or international standards defining the procedure for testing and determining the influence of high temperatures and fire on the bond strength between FRP reinforcement and concrete.

Buckling Length of Steel Columns in Frame Structures Stressed by Fire
Červenka, Roman
Fire resistance is crucial for load-bearing structures. However, current rules in structural Eurocodes may not cover all fire design situations. In EN 1993-1-2, fire design rules exist only for braced steel frames, treating each floor as a separate fire section. Unbraced frames lack specific fire design rules and use regular temperature design buckling lengths. This article presents an analysis of the behaviour of columns in braced and unbraced frames and compares it with the procedures of some other authors.

Evaluation of environmental load by polybrominated diphenyl ethers
Roček, Richard ; Stoupalová, Michaela (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The target of my diploma thesis is evaluation of soil load by polybrominated diphenylethers. This is the soils, which were affected by fire and comparsion with load by soils, which were not affected by fire. In teoretical part available informations about BDE from various sources are processed. Target of practical part is find the optimal method for determination BDE, verification of her yield a determination of reals samples with using this method. In the end this thesis contains measured results, its interpetation in tables, graphes and evaluation of load by individual congeners. Key is comparsion load of soils, which were affected and which were not affected by fire. BDE are released during the fire and we can decide that soils which were caused by fire should be contaminated more, than soils, which were not caused by fire.

ASSESSMENT OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES EXPOSED TO ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
Rozsypalová, Iva ; Kolář,, Karel (referee) ; Vítek,, Jan (referee) ; Daněk, Petr (advisor)
Doctoral thesis is focused on the assessment of concrete structures after fire exposure and extends the knowledge in view of the main aims of the research defined in the objectives of his work. Thanks to the performed fire tests of full-scale concrete specimens, material characteristics corresponding to actual fire load have been assessed for different temperature levels. Resulting from presented research, main steps of assessment procedure have been recommended for both destructive and non-destructive tests of concrete after exposure to fire. Furthermore, behaviour of FRP reinforcement at elevated temperatures have been investigated. Aiming to determine the effects of fire exposure on reinforced concrete structures, experimental program have been defined and performed, including concrete beams reinforced with either steel, or composite reinforcement with glass or carbon fibres and subjected to experimentally simulated fire load. After cooling, bending test have been executed. Above mentioned experimental program was further complemented by extensive numerical analysis. Finally, presented work provides guidelines regarding further investigations required in this field of research.

Volumetric Efects Accelerated on GPU
Kubovčík, Tomáš ; Tóth, Michal (referee) ; Starka, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with simulation and rendering of fluid based volumetric effects, especially effect of fire and smoke. Computations are accelerated on graphics card using modern graphics API with motivation to achieve realistic visual results as well as physically correct calculations. Implemented volumetric effects are distributed as dynamic library which allows addition of these effects to existing applications.

Smoke and Fire Detection in Video Sequences
Tomek, Peter ; Štancl, Vít (referee) ; Švub, Miroslav (advisor)
This thesis aims to analyse a videosignal given in input and find segments that contains fire or smoke. The problem is divided into two cases-detection of fire and detection of smoke. The first and main step of analysation is detection of segments by Gaussian mixture model that is trained by Expectation-Maximization algorithm, or shortly EM algorithm. For smoke detection is than used method of optical flow. The final segments are than processed by some morphological methods and determination of their position is made. Finally, the output of algorithm is again a videosignal in which segments that probably contains fire or smoke are highlighted.

Study of the properties of fillers to the composites requiring high temperature resistance
Vovesný, Václav ; Gross,, Tomáš (referee) ; Bydžovský, Jiří (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the behaviour of natural and synthetic aggregates and their behaviour in polymer – cement composites, while being exposed to high temperature. The processes, happening in aggregates and mortar under the thermal load, were described in the theoretical part of the thesis same as the testing of heat effects on the aggregates and mortar. Further, the influence of high temperature on each component of concrete was described, followed by the suggestion of the appropriate components for concrete exposed to high temperature. Various aggregates were tested in the experimental part of the thesis. The basic physical and mechanical properties of aggregates were examined same as their mineralogical composition with using XRD, DTA and SEM methods. At the mortar, the influence of high temperature on the concrete density, compressive strength and tensile strength was defined. The gained knowledge was evaluated in the final part of the thesis

Rescue of Persons during the Fires of Hight Buildings
Kulhánek, Jan ; Bíla, Jan (referee) ; Valášek, Rudolf (advisor)
Objective of this work is to process the research of fires in high-rise buildings in the Czech Republic in recent 10 years in terms of their effects, number of evacuated people and rescued persons by fire unites. It evaluates causes of injury and death during fires in high-rise buildings and reasons leading to the use of emergency sources by fire unites. It evaluates equipment in high-rise buildings from point of view of function of safety device against fire and equipment installed for intervention in high-rise buildings and it evaluates negative effects which affect the action of fire unites, especially in terms of evacuation and rescue. It analyses various ways to rescue people from point of view of possiblity using fire unites, the availability of life-saving equipment and the speed of rescue. It makes a design for involvement of forces and sources of other components of integrated rescue system to the process of human rescuing.
