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.

Usage of polymer modified bitumens and rejuvenators in asphalt mixtures
Maláník, Stanislav ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with the influence of various dosing of Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) using modified bitumen on the properties of asphalt concrete (ACO 11+) of cemented by polymer modified bitumen, while a rejuvenating agents are added into asphalt mixtures. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the basic knowledge of pavement recycling, polymer modified bitumens and their reuse in asphalt mixtures. The practical part deals with laboratory tests of ACO 11+ mixtures with the RAP proportion of 0 % to 50 %. The asphalt mixtures compared are evaluated by means of the Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Test (TSRST) and Stiffness test. The results obtained within the diploma thesis can approximate the issue of recycling of asphalt mixtures with polymer modified bitumens.

Use of RAP in coarse-grained asphalt mixtures
Teslík, Jozef ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis examines the possibilities of using R-material in coarse-grained asphalt mixtures for ACP32 base layers. The theoretical part deals with the availability of aggregates in the Czech Republic and also solves the issue of producing asphalt mixtures with a higher content of R-material. The theoretical part also compares the use of R-materials in the Czech Republic with other countries. The practical part deals with the design, production and testing of selected mixtures. To determine the properties of the mixtures, the rolling wheel tests, TSRST and the determination of the modulus of elasticity were selected.

Coarse-grained asphalt mixtures
Rimel, Jindřich ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis investigates the properties of coarse-grained asphalt mixtures ACP 32, which are compared with the properties of ACP 22 mixtures. The theoretical part deals with the composition of asphalt mixtures, their production, transport and laying. Experience with using coarse-grained mixtures around the world is also presented. The practical part deals with mixture design, production and testing to assess the properties of the mixtures. The tests selected for the comparison of the properties are wheel tracking, TSRST and stiffness by a two-point bending test.

Dependency of Asphalt Mixtures Low Temperature Properties on Binder Properties
Veselý, Petr
The paper deals with results of tests for low temperature properties of asphalt mixtures in correlation with results of tests on low temperature properties of the bitumen used in those. Properties of materials used in temperatures, which with changing climate keep approaching the critical value, are still very current topic, which cannot be overlooked. The aim of this paper is to point out the extent in which we can affect these properties with different binders. For this purpose, low temperature tests were carried out which include the thermal stress restrained specimen test to set critical temperature of asphalt mixture, Fraasse breaking point and the bending beam rheometer.
