Probabilistic discrete model of concrete fracturing
Kaděrová, Jana ; Lehký, David (referee) ; Konečný,, Petr (referee) ; Eliáš, Jan (advisor)
The thesis presents results of a numerical study on the performance of 3D discrete meso–scale lattice–particle model of concrete. The existing model was extended by introducing the spatial variability of chosen material parameter in form of random field. An experimental data from bending tests on notched and unnotched beams was exploited for the identification of model parameters as well as for the subsequent validation of its performance. With the basic and the extended randomized version of the model, numerical simulations were calculated so that the influence of the rate of fluctuation of the random field (governed by the correlation length) could be observed. The final part of the thesis describes the region in the beam active during the test in which the most of the fracture energy is released in terms of its size and shape. This region defines the strength of the whole member and as shown in the thesis, it does not have a constant size but it is influenced by the geometrical setup and the correlation length of the random field.

The frost susceptibility of soils and materials for subgrade of pavements
Puda, Adam ; Pácha, Petr (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the theoretical part of the deformation caused by frost action, but primarily frost heave, their gradual development and factors affecting their final formation. Furthermore, different ways of measuring the frost susceptibility in the Czech Republic and their comparison. Introduction to the different methods of measuring frost susceptibility in selected countries within the European Union. The practical part is focused on the process of frost heave samples with and without thermal insulation material.
