Self-sensing properties of alkali-activated slag composites under compressive loading
Míková, Maria ; Kusák, Ivo (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
Production of construction materials requires a large amount of energy. That can be decreased by using of waste materials. This thesis deals with the self-sensing properties of composites. It presents electrical properties of building materials and their measurement. In the experimental part, the influence of conductive fillers on the self-sensing properties of aluminosilicate composites was examined. Test cubes were made of alkali-activated slag with a content of graphite powder, carbon black, carbon fibers, steel fibers or carbon nanotubes. The fractional change in resistence during cyclic compressive loading was monitored.

Effect of flexural loading on electrical properties of alkali-activated slag composites
Šimko, Lukáš ; Kusák, Ivo (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
Ordinary concrete is the most commonly used building material, but nowadays the requirements for low energy consumption, durability of structures together with their easy diagnostics as well as ecological production raises. This thesis deals with cement and aluminosilicate composites with content of conductive fillers, which allows to monitor the change in electrical properties, most commonly electrical resistance in dependence on mechanical stress. In the experimental part of the thesis, test beams were produced based on alkali-activated slag with content of carbon nanotubes, graphite powder, carbon black and carbon fibre. The beams were subjected to flexural loading in a three-point bending configuration and the shift in electrical resistance was monitored.

Silicate materials with enhanced electrical conductivity
Míková, Maria ; Kusák, Ivo (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with electrical properties of cement- or aluminosilicate-based materials used in building industry. It presents the summary of the most commonly used functional fillers with ability to increase conduction of the composites and theirs characteristics. Thesis also deals with measured electrical properties and applications of composites with enhanced electrical conductivity. In the experimental part, the influence of graphite powder concentration on the characteristics of alkali activated slag was examined. Electrical, mechanical properties and microstructure was observed. Microstructure was examined by means of mercury porosimetry and scanning elektron microscopy.

Effect of moisture on the electrical properties of silicate composites
Karlíková, Helena ; Kusák, Ivo (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
This work deals with study on the dependence of electrical properties on the moisture content in silicate composites. The theoretical part contains information about the electrical properties of cement-based and alkali-activated binders, as well as knowledge on moisture parameters and the presence of moisture in the material structure. Samples of cement-based mortars and alkali-activated slag with a graphite powder in the range of 0–18 per cent by weight were produced and quartz sand was used as filler in the experimental part. The samples were provided with copper electrodes and saturated with water after hardening. The electrical properties of the mortars were monitored by means of impedance spectroscopy during the gradual drying of the samples. The effect of microstructure has been studied using scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The results indicate that a significant increase in electrical resistance occurs only when the relative sorption humidity content is below 20 per cent in the 40–5000 Hz frequency range.

Self-Sensing Properties of Metakaolin Geopolymer with Carbon Nanotubes under Compressive Loading
Mizerová, Cecílie ; Rovnaník, Pavel ; Kusák, Ivo ; Schmid, Pavel
Increased capability of alkaline activated binders to transfer the electric charge became an attractive issue in research related to multifunctional materials with self-sensing, self-heating and other progressive properties. This study is focused on self-sensing properties of metakaolin geopolymer mortars with 0.05 and 0.10% carbon nanotubes under repeated compressive loading. Specimens incorporated with copper electrodes were subjected to two different regimes of compressive loading with continuous monitoring of strain and electrical resistance. Both reference and modified geopolymer mortars have shown good response to applied loading, yet the differences in sensitivity and structural deformations were observed.
