The influence of admixtures on the hydration of Calcium Aluminate phases
Skalík, Martin ; Másilko, Jiří (referee) ; Koplík, Jan (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the effect of admixtures on the hydration time and on the formation of hydration products of calcium aluminate cement and its phases. Three main calcium aluminate phases, CA, CA2 and C12A7, were prepared to study using a high temperature sintering method that was optimised to be as fast as possible. The admixtures used were LiCl, NaCl, sodium tetraborate and citric acid. Prior to the actual hydration, the optimization of the admixture dosage was performed by Vicat test on two commercial aluminate cements, Secar 71 and Secar 80. The hydration with the right amnout of admixtures was monitored by heat flow calorimetry. Hydration products were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy.

Verification of the Applicability of Mixed Cement Types for the Production of Concrete Pavements
Klobása, Jan ; Hela, Rudolf
Concrete is the most widely used building material today. Due to the increase in the utility value of buildings, more and more emphasis is placed on the durability of buildings, which especially applies to concrete products exposed to frost and chemical deicing agents. Cement concrete pavements have the ability to transmit the effects of traffic and withstand adverse weather conditions. Concrete pavements can withstand high traffic loads without permanent deformations and have a long service life. However, it must be said that in the case of damage to the CB pavements, repairs require longer closures due to more demanding production and laying technology. The expected lifespan of a concrete road type is at least 30 years with basic and minimal maintenance, while the life cycle of tarmac roads is much shorter.
Currently, great importance is placed on reducing emissions arising from industrial production, especially cement production, where it is stated that the production of 1 ton of cement produces approximately 0.6 tons of CO2. Reducing emissions is possible thanks to secondary raw materials that are produced in large volumes in the Czech Republic, for which a suitable use is being sought.

Reactive Powder Concrete
Gabko, Miroslav ; Klečka,, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Reactive powder composites (RPC) have been recently a subject of many researches of modern concrete technology. This type of concrete is very fine and its behaviour exceeds the other types of concrete, therefore there are new possibilities of its use. The design and production of RPC is complex technology process which needs to gain new results in RPC research to get the best features regarding its higher price. This thesis is focused on design of reactive powder concrete (RPC200), which compressive strength is between 200 – 300 MPa. Next goal is to prove the influence of curing regimes like high temperature or pressure, and also check the possibilities of production of low cement reactive powder composite (LCRPC).

The research on electrochemical and material characteristics new developed layered electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries
Kratochvíl, Miroslav ; Jirák, Tibor (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with electrode materials for lithium-ions accumulators, concretely layered materials prepared via new methods. The main objective of this work is dealing with new procedures prepare electrodes of newly developed layered electrode materials and subsequently their measure. Another challenge was a theoretical analysis of newly developed layered electrode materials for positive and negative electrodes and their preparation of new procedures. In this work the detailed procedures for the preparation of individual electrodes, electrolytes and other issues associated with these preparations. There were describing batteries of general, primary and secondary lithium cells, fuel cells, Lithium-ion batteries, layered materials forming the electrodes and of course the history these cells. Practical work is focused on separate measurements layered electrode materials prepared by new processes and assessment of results for individual layered materials. In the practical part has been made that the newly prepared layered electrode materials offer higher capacity and voltage.

SCC with secondary raw materials
Ťažká, Lucia ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the possibility of using secondary raw materials and their application to the production of SCC. Large part deals with impurities of type I and its application results mainly from abroad. Furthermore, this work examines the impact of different types of impurities on the resulting concrete durability in various aggressive environments. The practical part is focused on the use of chemically non-reactive additives of type I instead of the commonly used additives of type II which are used to replace part of cement and the resulting design and manufacture of low-strength SCC using appropriate additives.

Waterproof concrete structures and regulations for the design and implementation
Křenek, Daniel ; Brožovský, Jiří (referee) ; Hubáček, Adam (advisor)
This thesis covers the issues of design, production, and property testing in regards to waterlight concrete structures. The testing conducted on the properties fit in accordance to the Czech Republic and international regulations. This thesis covers the issues of design, production, and property testing in regards to waterlight concrete structures. The experimental part focused on the design of the concrete mix, which stems from previous knowledge of individual, and speific regulations. Various types of cement were particularly examined along with studying the effects of admixtures that were partially replaced by cement with propoerties of watertight concrete

Issues of design and testing of waterproof concrete fot tunnel lining
Merta, Michael ; Voves, Jiří (referee) ; Hubáček, Adam (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of waterproof concrete and testing its properties. The theoretical part is conceived through research on existing knowledge relating to waterproof concrete. Emphasis is placed on the possibility of using a waterproof concrete for structures, such is e.g. tunnel lining. The experimental part is focused on the laboratory testing of waterproof concrete. Particulary examined was the effect of various admixtures as a partial replacement of cement. Monitored was the development of compressive strength and flexural strength, development of temperature during hydration in the early stages of maturation of concrete, water resistance of concrete, concrete surface resistance to water and chemical de-icing agents, as well as development of shrinkage during concrete maturation.

Study of the effect of selected types of aditives on the properties of cement composites
Kavka, Lukáš ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
The diploma thesis describes admixtures for concrete. It deals with the influence of admixtures on the properties of cement composites in the fresh and hardened state. The theoretical part described the individual components of concrete, where the main attention was focused to inert admixtures and their effect on mechanical properties, shrinkage, resistance of cement composites to aggressive medium. Furthermore, the effect of admixtures on concretes with recycled aggregates was described. In the first stage of the practical part, cement mortars with 25, 35 and 50% replacement of cement admixtures were created. In the second stage, concretes with admixtures and a minimum strength class of C30/37 and C50/60 were created. Finely ground granulated slag, micronized limestone and granite stone dust were used as admixtures in mortars and concretes. The change of properties in the fresh and hardened state was observed on cement composites.
