Modification of asphalt mixtures
Zeleňák, Matej ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
This master’s thesis studies impact of direct-to-plant SBS polymer on properties of asphalt binder and asphalt mixture. It uses a new modification additive. The addition takes place directly during the mixing in the plant. This technology is not commonly used in Czech Republic. The theoretical part of this thesis describes current experiences with this method of modification. The procedures of laboratory tests needle penetration, softening point, elastic recovery, stiffness and low-temperature properties are described. The practical part presents values measured during preparation of test samples. Furthermore, it analyses the test results of the binders and mixtures in detail. The thesis concludes by evaluation of each test result and by summarization of the findings.

Coarse-grained asphalt concretes
Škorík, Michal ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the design of coarse-grained asphalt concrete for base courses with aggregates up to 32 mm in size. The theoretical part describes current issues related to the shortage of natural aggregate in the Czech Republic and introduces the reader to the knowledge of coarse-grained asphalt mixtures used in the Czech Republic and abroad. The practical part focuses on the design of asphalt mixtures for base courses AC 32 50/70. It further describes in detail the process of laboratory production of the asphalt mixture and individual functional and empirical tests. In the last part parameters as modulus of stiffness, resistance to low temperatures and resistance to permanent deformations are evaluated.

Shear stress relaxation of bituminous binders in DSR
Musil, Vladimír ; Hegr, Zdeněk (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The thesis describes the relaxation properties of bituminous binders determined in dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). Paving bitumen, polymer modified bitumen (PMB) and crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRmB) were chosen for comparison. In order to describe the effects of ageing on asphalt binders relaxation properties, the laboratory simulation of ageing using RTFOT and 3xRTFOT method was performed. For each binder were simultaneously conducted tests of needle penetration, softening point and elastic recovery. Selected bitumens were used for the production of asphalt mixtures. The low-temperature properties tests (TSRST) were performed for these mixtures, when the results were compared to the relaxation properties of binders determined in the DSR.

Use of special binders for recycling of asphalt mixtures at mixing plants
Pěch, Pavel ; Špaček, Petr (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The thesis deals with the matter of usage of special asphalt binders for production of asphalt mixtures containing recycled materials in asphalt plant. For comparison analysis of characteristics of special binder used in roads is necessary to compose different mixtures of asphalt – one with binder containing R-materials, and another benchmark mixture with binder used in common mixtures without recycled materials. Investigation of features of mixtures with different binders is carried out by selected performance tests of asphalt mixtures. Evaluation and comparison of the results is described in the final section of the thesis.
