Resistance of bituminous binder to ageing
Rous, Vojtěch ; Frýbort, David (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
Asphalt binder ageing and experiences with various ageing methods from abroad are described in this thesis. The practical part deals with the RTFOT aging and with the influence of the duration of this test. The comparison of test results is conducted before and after the aging by values of needle penetration, elastic recovery, softening point and resilience tests are evaluated and compared.

Application of crumb rubber in bituminous binders and in bituminous mixtures
Dašek, Ondřej ; Fišer,, Jiří (referee) ; Vacín,, Otakar (referee) ; Komačka,, Jozef (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
Presented dissertation thesis is focused on the possibility of using the crumb rubber from waste tires for modification of paving grade bitumen. The resulting asphalt rubber can be used as an alternative to polymer modified bitumen in compacted bituminous mixtures. The theoretical part describes the rheological properties of asphalt binders and the history and today state of the art in the world and in the Czech Republic. The practical part of the work contains a description of the properties of chosen crumb rubbers and produced asphalt rubbers focused on their rheological properties and on change of these properties caused by the aging at high temperature. Subsequently, the chosen empirical and functional properties of bituminous mixtures with asphalt rubber are described. Laboratory properties of these mixtures were verified under real service conditions on 32 test sections. Based on the dissertation thesis results the preliminary technical specification of the Ministry of Transport (TP 148) and their following revision were approved. The conclusion of the work summarizes and highlights the results of the dissertation.

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).

Evaluation and modelling of Traffic Noise
Černoch, Adam ; Spies, Karel (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
The task of the master's thesis is introduction with the problems of traffic noise, focusing on noise from road traffic. There is a description what is the noise, how it is formed, its resources and what are the methods of measuring. The following are the various noise reduction measures such as noise barriers and low noise pavements. The main attention is devoted to the noise generated at the tire / road that is reduced by these pavements. The practical part describes the implemented measurements on individual sections at various locations in our country. The measurement was carried by slightly modified method CPX with reference tire directly at the vehicle. The main aim was to evaluate the measurement data, make comparison of different low-noise surfaces with each other and with the commonly used surfaces. Then quantification of the rate reduction of the noise emission for a given section and verification of input data for noise modeling. In conclusion, the obtained results are summarized and based on them were confirmed very good acoustic properties with the recommendation to continue with measurements in the future.

Design and evaluation of asphalt rubber mixture
Hotař, Petr ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
The aim of bachelor thesis is to design the asphalt concrete for very thin layers using asphalt rubber and to perform laboratory tests according to ČSN EN 13108-2 and TP 148. The work is based on the literature review and respects properties of asphalt rubber. The expected properties of asphalt concretes for very thin layers are summarized and evaluated.
