Development of shrinkage reducing admixtures designed for alkali activated materials
Šístková, Pavlína ; Bílek, Vlastimil (referee) ; Kalina, Lukáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with development of shrinkage reducing admixtures designed for alkali activated materials based on blast furnace slag. The main task of this work is to select the most suitable shrinkage reducing admixture based on experiments, in which can be observed minimal shrinkage and at the same time it will not adversely affect the properties of alkali activated blast furnace slag. In the experimental part of the work, test beams containing shrinkage reducing admixtures were prepared, in which the shrinkage and loss of weight were measured. Moreover, the mechanical properties of individual beams, such as tensile strength and compressive strength, were measured. Next, the surface tension of individual shrinkage reducing admixtures was measured in a mixture with pore solution. The hydration process of alkali activated materials under the action of reducing shrinkage admixtures was monitored by calorimetric analysis. The microstructure of the prepared samples was observed by scanning electron microscopy.

Influence of ionts on the efficiency of shrinkage reducing admixtures in alkali activated systems
Vašíčková, Kateřina ; Bílek, Vlastimil (referee) ; Kalina, Lukáš (advisor)
Alkali activated materials, especially when activated with waterglass, are subjected to substantial drying shrinkage that hinders their broader industrial application. The effect of shrinkage reducing admixtures (SRA), based on poly(propylene glycol), on drying shrinkage of alkali activated blast furnace slag (BFS) mortars was studied. The aim of this thesis is to determine the efficiency of SRA as well as the influence of different type of alkali activator with varying silicate modulus on drying shrinkage characteristics. It was observed that the high amount of alkalis positively influenced the effect of SRA. The higher the amount of alkalis, the lower the drying shrinkage was. It also caused more water to be incorporated in the alkali activated structure and prevent it from evaporation. Thus, the weight change of such mortars was the lowest. Reduced effect of SRA on mechanical strength properties was observed in mortars with low amount of alkalis which was connected with delayed hydration resulting in insufficient amount of created C-S-H gel. The presented thesis further discussed and underlines the role of different kinds of alkali ions as well as their amount on the properties of alkali activated BFS systems.

Study of possibilities of reduction of volume changes and development of hydration temperatures in concrete
Pikna, Ondřej ; Ťažký, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Volume changes are one of the priority characteristics of concrete that plays an important role place mainly in the durability of structures as such. These low volume changes are required especially for structures as: industrial concrete floors, massive structures and waterproof structures. One of the possibilities in reducing these changes is the use of mineral admixtures with suitable grain curve of aggregate. Another possibility is the use of shrinkage reducing admixtures. There can occur problem with efficiency (long term age) with other components of the mixture. Therefore, the effort of this work is to use the avaible processes for maximum reduction of shrinkage and hydration temperatures.

Possibilities of reducing shrinkage of concrete and development of concrete recipes with limited shrinkage.
Stoklásek, Martin ; Louda,, Pavel (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of volume changes of concrete and their causes. The theoretical part describes the various types of volume changes in concrete and the causes of their occurrence. Influence of concrete mix design and concreting conditions on volume changes. Methods for reducing volume changes are also addressed. The experimental part is focused on the development of recipes with limited volume changes. In which the development of shrinkage is monitored from an early age up to 60 days and at the same time the development of compressive strengths at 2, 7, 28 and 60 days is also monitored.

: Development of special high strength concrete with low volume changes
Meruňka, Milan ; Hela,, Vlastimil (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with problems of volume changes of concrete, especially shrinkage of concrete. Types of concrete changes, causes, occurrences, and ways to eliminate them are described. The experimental part is focused on monitoring the volume changes of concrete within 28 days of maturing using a different type and dose of shrinkage reducing additions, a summary of cement pastes within 24 hours of mixing, the development of temperatures of the hydration temperatures of concrete and cement pastes.
