Functional tests on mixtures of the test section with asphalt concrete and high amount of RAP
Kučerová, Marcela ; Zajíček, Jan (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the testing of asphalt mixtures of asphalt concrete containing reclaimed asphalt and laying of the test section. The theoretical part deals with the use of reclaimed asphalt in hot asphalt mixtures, namely the specifics of rejuvenating agents, aging and asphalt mixture. Further more information on the functional properties of asphalt mixtures and the influence of reclaimed asphalt on them is given. The practical part describes testing of mixtures of ACO 11+ and ACO 11+ with 50% reclaimed asphalt and tests on asphalt binders. In order to compare the proposed mixtures, the low thermal properties of ČSN EN 12697-46 and the stiffness modules according to ČSN EN 12697-26. In the last part of the diploma thesis the results of the measured values were compared with each other in order to determine of asfphalt recovery. From the overall test results, it can be seen that the effect of the rejuvenating agent was positive. However, the desired degree of rejuvenation has not been achieved after production.

Properties of asphalt mixtures of SMA-type with RAP
Acuna Subia, Luis Carlos ; Hrbek, Kamil (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to verify and compare the properties of bituminous stone mastic asphalt, namely SMA 11S with modified PMB 45 / 80-55 asphalt binder or 50/70 road bitumen binder with rubber granulate. Comparison of properties is performed using functional tests. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with the familiarization with the use of the SMA mixture, the selected concepts concerning recycling of non-leveled roads are described and described. Attention is paid especially to the recycling of roads in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on hot recycling on the incinerator, which allows increased dosing of Reclaimed Asphalt into asphalt mixtures. In the practical part, the results of the functional tests of the SMA 11S mixture, which have been taken from the test section, are processed and evaluated.

Identification of rate type fluids suitable for modeling geomaterials
Tůma, Karel
In the present thesis we study and compare different viscoelastic rate-type fluid models capable of describing response of geomaterials such as asphalt. Using new thermodynamic approach proposed by Rajagopal and Srinivasa (2000) we derive several classes of non-linear viscoelastic models that generalize standard Oldroyd-B and Burgers models. We show that the new models achieve better results in fitting experimental data with asphalt than the previously considered models (Oldroyd-B, Burgers, Rajagopal and Srinivasa (2000)). In particular they are able to capture the behavior of asphalt observed recently in experiments (torque overshoot and two relaxation mechanisms), which is not possible to describe by the other models. Using both the standard and the newly derived models we compute full simulations of viscoelastic flow with the finite element method in fixed domains and incorporating the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian description also in deforming domains. For example, we study rolling of asphalt or creation of ruts in the road with the real material parameters obtained by fitting the experiments. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

New world experience with Asphalt-Rubber pavement
Jevínová, Alexandra ; Urbanec, Květoslav (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
The road infrastructure and the services provided in road transportation are inseparable part of everyday people´s life, improving economic development, competitiveness and social prosperity. Development of the road infrastructure is extensive process, both financially and technically, and in Czech and Slovak conditions it mostly depends on EU funds. In the recent years there is a great need for new approach of design and realization of the road projects in the selection of the most appropriate solution in feasibility study beginning in the project stage, continuing in realization, taking into account the possibilities of using all kinds of recycled material, which can otherwise end up in the landfills. One of the mentioned materials are also waste tires. The main goal of bachelor thesis is to verify the possibilities of application the waste tires in the road construction focusing on the technology of Crumb Rubber modified Bitumen using “wet process “(continuous blend).

Asphalt concrete with reclaimed material - design
Kučerová, Marcela ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the design and testing of asphalt mix type asphalt concrete containing R-material. The theoretical part is dedicated to the RAP in asphalt mixtures produced by hot, in particular the specifics during design and manufacture of asphalt mixture. Next there is introduced further information relating to the functional characteristics of asphalt mixtures and the influence of R-material on them. The practical part describes the designs and testings on mixtures ACO 11+ and 11+ 50% RAP. In order to compare the proposed mixtures were carried out tests of low thermal attributes according to ČSN EN 12697-46 and cracking using uniaxial tensile test according to ČSN EN 12697-46.

Usage of recycled materials to asphalt mixtures
Zítka, Patrik ; Kašpar, Jiří (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with the R-material use in asphalt mixtures. In the theoretical part, different kinds of flexible pavement recycling and ways of adding R-material into asphalt mixtures are discussed. The practical part deals with asphalt layers design and manufacture, specifically for binder course ACL 16+. R-material content in the blends is 0%, 20%, 25% and 30%. EVOTHERM MA3 rejuvenator is used as additive for softening of R-material. Various mixtures are compared based on tests - resistance to permanent deformation, resistance to the effects of water and low temperature properties.

The issue of increasing the proportion of reclaimed asphalt in asphalt mixtures
Urbanec, Luboš ; Mondschein,, Petr (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The subject of this Ing. thesis is asphalt mixture with increasing RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement). The theoretical part defines the terms of recycling and RAP and types of recycling. The practical part is devoted to the production and testing of asphalt mixtures with different volume RAP. The proposed asphalt mixture is asphalt concrete for base layer ACP22 +. Content of RAP in mixtures is 0%, 30%, 50% and 70%. As a special additive to soften the asphalt from RAP is used ingredient STORFLUX. For each mixture are established modulus stiffness of asphalt mixture and determined fatigue characteristics of asphalt mixture. The identified properties are compared for the different representation of RAP.

Doseděl, Jan ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
The findings related to issues of joint sealings of concrete pavements are summarized in this bachelor thesis. The main part of this thesis deals with experimental testing of modified asphalt binder. This asphalt binder was tested at the beginning and at the end of fatigue. The samples of asphalt bitumen were tested by the method of ring and ball, determinativ of needle penetration, elastic recovery and resilince.
