The study of the refractory concrete binding system based on phosphoric acid and aluminous cement
Pavlík, Tomáš ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Šiler, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with refractory concrete binding system based on aluminous cement and phosphoric acid. The prepared refractory concretes were fired at 1 000 °C. Various effects on compressive strength of refractory concrete were studied. The influence of aluminous cement content and phosphoric acid content, the influence of various admixtures, the influence of plasticizers and the influence of time and method of sample storage were studied. Simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis of the basic unfired sample were performed. Finally, selected refractory concretes were fired at 110, 200, 400, 600, 800, 900, 1 000 and 1 100 °C. The compressive strength of these samples was measured and powder X ray diffraction analysis was performed. The compressive strength of refractory concretes under intermediate temperatures (800–1 100 °C) was most increased in samples with metakaolin and gray microsilica.

Influence of variations in cement composition on bleeding and mortar workability over time
Peřina, Tomáš ; Klečka,, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
This diploma thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is to study of factors influencing the workability and bleeding of concrete. There is mentioned the production of cement and standard requirement. The task of the practical part is to assess the cements produced by the cement works Hranice and Prachovice. These cements test in terms of water separation. In combination with these cements use superplasticizing admixtures from Mapei and Stachema and determine the impact of water separation on cement pastes. Determine rheology on the cement pastes. Define influence of variations in cement composition affect the stability of cement mixtures.

The Influence of Fines on Pore System of Concrete
Elfmarková, Veronika ; Smolka, Hynek (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Literature does not provide a satisfactory answer to maximum and minimum particle size or the particle size of the mortar phase especially for optimal porosity of concrete. To overcome the shortcomings of the design methods were thought to design a new method for design of concrete mix. This idea is based on a complex analysis of powder materials (determination of granular properties, shape factor of fillers, porosity, packing of powder materials, surface area, etc.) and subsequently to assess the influence to pore system of concrete and physical and mechanical properties in hardened state of concrete. In this work are presented and analyzed two types of fillers – fly ash and limestone dust.

Validation of an innovative approach to the design of alkali-activated materials
Kejík, Marek ; Kucharczyková, Barbara (referee) ; Bílek, Vlastimil (advisor)
This thesis presents an approach to express the composition of alkali-activated materials based on three main characteristics. These are the type of activator, the molarity of the activator, and the volume fraction of the precursor or aggregate. The aim of this work is to provide a practical verification of this approach, in particular with respect to the amount of precursor, aggregates, and activator at a constant molarity of the three basic activator types (Na2CO3, NaOH, sodium water glass). The effects of these factors on their basic properties, namely workability, shrinkage, and mechanical properties, were studied for the prepared samples of pastes and mortars based on alkali-activated slag. These results were further supported by mercury intrusion porosimetry and electron microscopy. The results obtained confirmed the assumed key influence of the volumetric representation of the precursor, aggregates, and activator on the absolute values of the studied properties as well as on their relative changes. These were very different for the different activators, which is mainly due to the different abilities of the hydration products formed to fill the space between the slag and aggregate grains. The result of this work is a summary of the knowledge about the properties of alkali-activated materials over a given range of compositions, anchored by a universal approach for the design of the composition of these materials, which can be used in further research in this field.

Influence of common eland (Taurotragus oryx) meat composition on its further technological processing
Kolbábek, Petr ; Lukešová, Daniela (advisor)
This dissertation has been proposed as a part of long-time wide research conducted on farmed elands (Taurotragus oryx) at university farm at Lány. This thesis is planned to be closely connected with the study of influence of the nutrition and diet to the growth and meat composition and quality. Eland meat is traditionally considered as tasty and nutritionally valuable, but in fact the knowledge on the eland meat composition and technological processing potential is limited. The research will be focused on the analyses of physical and chemical properties of meat with emphasis on the influence of the diet and age of animals on the meat. Next part of the work will be to experimentally produce meat products (e.g. pâté, fermented salami) and evaluate theirs physical, chemical and organoleptic properties. The most of the analysis are planned in cooperation with Department of agriculture products quality on Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources.

Study of the effect of the application of cellulose fibers in cementitious composites
Dvořák, Richard ; Herka, Petr (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on composition and processing of cellulose fibers and their usage in cementitious composites. It describes key attributes of cellulose fibers, which has to be acquired for effective use in cement composites. There are stated effects of cellulose fibers on concrete properties, such as workability, physical and mechanic attributes and freeze-thaw resistance. In experimental part is designed a mixture with portion of cellulose fibers. There has been performed various tests to define the effect of cellulose fibers. There was designed experiment to determine its alkali resistance for fibers itself, and possible changes in microstructure of fibers were analyzed by optic and electron scanning microscope.

Study of rheological properties of concrete with the addition of low-temperature plasma treated polymer fibers
Gromeš, Vít ; Herka, Petr (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
Polypropylene fibers are used in concrete mixtures to avoid early cracks during shrinkage. Low thickness of each fiber and low density are reasons, why these fibers are effective in small dosage. Their disadvantages are smooth surface and hydrophobic character of polypropylene, thus it is necessary to improve their surface for better spread during mixing and to reach needed adhesion between fibers and cement paste. In present time are using chemical solutions applied on surface of the fibers to provide better water absorption, but the trend is reducing of using chemicals in industry and this situation demands new technology. There is possible solution, polypropylene fibers treated by low-temperature plasma. This method was developer by cooperation Masaryk University in Brno with company KrampeHarex and Brno Universiry of Technology. The goal of this thesis is to bring comparison, of influence on rheology properties of fresh concrete, between admixed the fibers with applied chemical layer and low-temperature plasma treated polypropylene fibers.
