Utilisation of brick recycled materials for water retention in soils
 Šmírová, Barbora ; Palovčík, Jakub (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with possible utilizations of brick recyclate as an element which cooperates in the field of water retention in the landscape, especially in agricultural soils. Brick recyclate has the same composition and properties as a classic burnt brick, and therefore is very wettable and porous. Above all, these properties are the key element to using brick recyclate as a water holding element in the soil. The aim of this thesis was to determine the ability of brick recyclate to retain water in the soil and then release it back into the soil. Various fractions of brick recyclate were tested experimentally. First experiments were performed with fine quartz sand, and then with two different real samples of soils.. The time for the evaporation of all the added water from the test mixture was assessed. For real samples of soils, experiments continued on the plants under defined laboratory conditions.
