Aging of Bituminous Binders
Veselý, Petr
Bituminous binder in asphalt mixture is exposed to the influence of aging, which is intensified during mixing and paving, as high temperature strongly accelerates the aging of bituminous binders. The aging of the binder is generally divided into short-term and long-term aging. The work focuses on comparing the properties of bitumen binders that differ in penetration value and aging level. All binders in the study are divided into these aging categories, and their properties are compared with the properties of unaged binders. The comparison of properties is carried out using basic empirical tests (penetration and softening point) as well as rheological tests (complex shear modulus and phase angle).

Broďák, Marek ; Coufalík, Pavel (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis describes a laboratory characteristics of bituminous binders. The principle, procedure of meansurment and comparison of test results of dynamic viscosity, needle penetration and softening point by ring and ball method will be described. The tests will be performed on samples of the bituminous binders with different degree of modification.

Rheological properties of asphalt binders
Coufalík, Pavel ; Bačová,, Katarína (referee) ; Komačka,, Jozef (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
Dissertation thesis is focused on rheological properties of asphalt binders and on changes of their performance during the lifetime in road structures. Aging processes of asphalt binders and methods of laboratory aging are described in the theoretical part of the thesis. Furthermore, basic rheological models and related test methods for the evaluation of asphalt binders are described. In the practical part, properties of asphalt binders are investigated after aging process and their performance is evaluated by empirical and functional test methods. The various methods of aging are compared with each other and a relationship between real conditions and laboratory aging is researched. In the next section, vacuum flashed cracked residue (VFCR) is added to the selected asphalt binders and their influence on rheological properties during description of aging of asphalt binders is investigated. The results were used in publication of two certified methodology under the title „The methodology for the evaluation of paving bitumen in terms of susceptibility to thermal oxidative aging“ and „The methodology describes laboratory aging of asphalt mixtures“. The results of the thesis are listed in the conclusion.

Influence of polymer modified bitumens storage on their properties
Měšťanová, Petra ; Fišer,, Jiří (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
Subject of this bachelor’s thesis is to describe the influence of long-term storage of polymer modified bitumen at temperature of 180 °C on their properties. The principle of binder modification and test procedure of needle penetration, softening point, elastic recovery and dynamic viscosity in DSR will be explained in the theoretical part. The properties changes of five tested modified binders during storage will be evaluated and compared in the practical part.

Rejuvenators in recycled asphalt material
Klein, Marek ; Coufalíková, Iva (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of rejuvenating additives in asphalt mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement. The theoretical part describes methods of adding reclaimed asphalt pavement to new asphalt mixtures. There are also explained principles of tests on asphalt binder: needle penetration, softening point, dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), bending beam rheometer (BBR) and short-therm aging of asphalt binders by the RTFOT method. The practical part of the thesis explains procedures of adding rejuvenating additives to asphalt mixtures in laboratory conditions. In the practical part are also evaluated results of tests on asphalt binder.

Interaction between asphalt binder and filler
Indráková, Kristýna ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The thesis is mainly focused on comparison of properties of mastics, that were mixed in lab. The samples of mastics were mixed of paving bitumen in combination with 9 samples of backhouse filler, 1 inappropriate sample containing mica and 1 sample of additive filler. The folowing tests were used for assessment of samples: The particle density of filler-pyknometer method, The delta ring and ball test, The complex shear modulus and phase angle, The multiple stress creep and recovery test. The tests results were evaluated and compared. The results of the thesis are listed in the conclusion.

Properties of polymer modified bitumen for warm mix asphalt
Zábranský, Ivo ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The Diploma thesis is focus on polymer modified bitumen for warm mix asphalt. The theoretical part of the thesis describes additives which influence the properties of bitumen for their use and reduction of production and service temperatures. Further, the theoretical part describes the conclusions from the researches. This part also describes empirical and functional tests of bituminous binders. The practical part presents the results of individual tests. Tests were performed on samples of non-aged, aged by RTFOT and RTFOT + PAV methods. The results of the work and the assessment of the suitability of bituminous binders are summarized at the end of the thesis.

Properties of reclaimed bitumens from asphalt mixtures with RAP
Mucha, Ondřej ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
Subject of this diploma thesis is the issue of asphalt mixtures with RA. The theoretical part of the work describes the RA itself, how it is obtained, the requirements according to currently valid standards, the production of asphalt mixture with RA, various options for rejuvenating aged binder, the materials used and the individual testing methods. In the practical section, selected empirical and functional parameters of extracted binders from samples are determined. This part evaluates and compares the results of properties of reclaimed asphalt binders from asphalt mixtures, where aged asphalt binders were rejuvenated by different methods during their production.
