New procedures for evaluating concrete in existing construction
Juřenová, Jana ; Kocáb, Dalibor (referee) ; Cikrle, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis seeks to increase the awareness of the possibility of using the ultrasonic pulse method for the diagnosis of building structures. It emphasises the use of non-destructive methods, highlighting their ability to provide comparable results to traditional destructive methods of assessment, whilst minimising interference to the structure. The work includes reporting on the procedures for determining the characteristic compressive strength of concrete in existing structures as defined in EN 13791, updated in 2021. The work focuses primarily on calibrating results from non-destructive indirect measurements with those obtained destructively using core borings.

Determination of the formwork strength of concrete using a Silver Schmidt hardness tester
Janka, Marek ; Kocáb, Dalibor (referee) ; Cikrle, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deal with the issues of nondestructive testing of the formwork removal strength of concrete. It works with two different compositions of concrete and for both of them, it determines the relation between compressive strength and surface hardness obtained by the SilverSchimdt hammer with mushroom plunger. It shows inappropriateness of ultrasonic impulse method to determine formwork removal strength. It compares obtained relations with each other and with the literature. The goal of this thesis is to utilize determined relations for verification of minimal requested formwork removal strength during construction.

Influence of Air Entrainment and Curing on Development of Elastic Modulus of Concrete
Bartulíková, Radka ; Kucharczyková, Barbara (referee) ; Kocáb, Dalibor (advisor)
Master's thesis deals with influence of various factors on the concrete compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. This work concentrates mainly on the influence of early curing and air entrainment of concrete. One part of this work is the evaluation of laboratory measurement, which was carried out on cubes of standard and norm prisms. The development of elastic moduli was monitored in time to 730 days of age with respect to air entrainment and curing conditions. The second part of the experiment deals with a comparison of theoretical creep curves depending on the value of the modulus of elasticity based on different standards. Again, the air entrainment effect and influence of initial conditions are reflected.

Inspection and preliminary survey of the road bridge
Kocuba, Robert ; Heřmánková, Věra (referee) ; Cikrle, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is dealing with inspection and preliminary survey of the bridge by performing the tests of concrete compressive strength on bores. In the theoretical part is performed the review of literature, documents and applicable standarts, focusing on bridge terminology, records of bridges, types of inspections, tests of bridge constructions and material, which was used on bridge constructions in the first half of twentieth century. In the practical part are evaluated the tests of concrete compressive strength on bores and tests of hardness. The result of this part is the condition assessment of the bridge, based on the inspection. For every part of the construction is assigned the strength class of the concrete, based on the tests. Also, the conceptual design, which relates to remediation of the chosen bridge construction, is processed.

Testing of bricks intended for the repair of monuments
Lezová, Lívia ; Anton, Ondřej (referee) ; Cikrle, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on methods of testing bricks, which will use to classify historic bricks into groups on usable, usable in extreme conditions, usable in limited extent and unusable for restoration of monuments or for construct new constructions. In the theoretical part, there is describe of historical development of solid fired bricks in Central Europe and an overview of methods for testing bricks, including a description of an accomplishments and their evaluation. In the practical part, there are methods applied to three visually different sets of bricks taken from 19th century construction.

Comparison of dynamic modulus of elasticity repair materials exposed to thermal stress
Munduchová, Markéta ; Jakubík, Aleš (referee) ; Brožovský, Jiří (advisor)
Diploma thesis is composed of theoretical and practical part. In theoretical part there are findings related to structure changes of concrete exposed to high temperatures. Models used to simulate high temperature exposure of concrete are described in this thesis. Evaluation of internal structure damage is appropriate by using non-destructive methods, which determine dynamic modulus of elasticity in compression and tension. These methods includes ultrasonic impulse method and resonation method and therefore research was made of articles contains these methods. In experimental part of diploma thesis the test specimens was made from repair materials from UTHD and commercially produced repair materials. The test specimens were subjected to thermal load: 200, 400, 600, 800 °C. Damage of internal structure was examined by ultrasonic impulse method and resonation method.
