A study of the possibilities of using recycled concrete in the UAE for the production of structural concrete
Lakomá, Karolína ; Novosad, Petr (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The thesis focuses on verifying the possibilities of utilizing recycled concrete aggregates originating from demolitions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in structural concretes for ready-mix concrete technologies. The theoretical part summarizes knowledge in the field of recycled concrete aggregates, their preparation, and production. It outlines the standard requirements for the UAE, the Czech Republic and globally. Additionally, it describes the influences of recycled aggregates on fresh and hardened concrete. The goal of the experimental section was to verify the resulting properties of natural and recycled aggregates. Moreover, the thesis addresses the formulation design for reference and recycled concretes. Tests for both fresh and hardened concrete were conducted based on these formulations. This work compares the achieved results with those obtained in another study from the Czech Republic which is also focused on the use of recycled concrete. Furthermore, an economic analysis comparing the prices of reference and recycled concretes on 1 m3 is conducted within the experimental section.

Possibilities of using recycled aggregates for the production of structural concrete
Hrachovcová, Ludmila ; Brožovský, Jiří (referee) ; Hubáček, Adam (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the study of recycled aggregates and concretes made from them. Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on recycling waste and especially construction and demolition waste. Therefore, we are looking for ways to use recycled aggregates in concrete composites despite heterogeneous parametres of concrete and brick recyclates. The paper summarizes the existing knowledge about recycled aggregates, especially about brick and concrete recyclates, their parameters and possibilities of their use. Furthermore, the thesis deals with brick and concrete recyclate concretes, their parameters and behaviour and their subsequent use in practice.

Study of the possibilities of using coarse aggregates from recycled concrete for the production of structural concrete
Voráč, Jiří ; Novosad, Petr (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The master thesis is focused on the possibilities of using coarse recycled concrete aggregate as a substitution for coarse natural aggregate in structural concrete. Theoretical part of this thesis presents a literature review on the recycled concrete aggregate, mainly its production and use in structural concrete. Emphasis is placed on standards in Czech Republic, Europe and other countries of the world. Influence of recycled concrete aggregate on fresh and hardened concrete are also described. Experimental part is dedicated to determination of basic mechanical properties of recycled concrete aggregate and natural aggregate. Recycled concrete formulas and reference concrete formulas are also proposed. Proposed concrete mixes are subjected to tests for fresh and hardened concrete. The price of concrete mixes per 1 m3 is also described.
