Study of the influence of compositon on the mechanical properties of high performance concrete
Veleba, Ondřej ; Šoukal, František (referee) ; Krátký, Josef (advisor)
This work is devoted to study the influence of the composition on mechanical properties of high performance concret based on portland cement. 29 samples of high performance concrete (HPC) warying in composition were prepared. The constituents used for HPC preparation were: cement Aalborg White, silica fume, finelly ground blast furnace slag, finelly ground silica, calcinated bauxite and polycarboxylate based superplasticizer. The mechanical parameters (flexural and compressive strength) of the samples were observed after 7 and 28 days of moist curing. Compressive strength values after 28 days were in the range of 92 to 194 MPa and the flexural strength values were in the range of 7 to 23 MPa (without using of fiber reinforcement). The graphs showing mechanical parameters depending on the mixture composition were constructed and consequently evaluated.

Influencing the hydration of high-performance composites using zinc ions
Všetečka, Tomáš ; Hajzler, Jan (referee) ; Novotný, Radoslav (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the influence of hydration of high-performance cementitious composites, more specifically reactive powder composites. Zinc ions were supplied by the compounds of zinc oxide and zinc sulphate heptahydrate. Zinc ions were added by weight content to cement at concentrations of 0.2; 0.5 and 1.0 wt. %. The development of properties depending on the content of zinc ions and the type of compound used was monitored in this work. The measured values were compared with reference values that did not contain zinc ions. The highest compressive strengths were obtained with a sample containing 1.0% Zn in the form of zinc oxide. However, this sample is associated with a longer setting time due to the retarding effect of zinc ions on hydration. The retardation effect was monitored using isothermal calorimetry. For samples containing zinc ions, a negative effect on the brass layer of steel fibers, which was used as reinforcement, was observed. Due to the addition of zinc ions, dezincification and subsequent removal of brass from the surface of the fibers took place. Therefore, these specimens had lower tensile strengths. A positive effect on the differential ballistic protection efficiency factor was observed for a sample containing 1% Zn in the form of zinc oxide.
