Numerical analysis of visco-elastic material models
Michálková, Veronika ; Lang, Rostislav (referee) ; Trcala, Miroslav (advisor)
The serviceability of concrete structures is a multiphysical problem where viscoelasticity is interrelated with plasticity or damage, among other things. This work focuses on the analysis and testing of an isotropic viscoelastic material model based on a generalized Kelvin chain. The Kelvin chain is described in detail for 1D strain and then its application to multi-axial 2D plane strain is shown. In this paper, a total of 3 studies are carried out using the Kelvin chain. The first study concerns the analysis of the Kelvin chain with damage on several benchmark refinement problems. The second study compares the results of the Kelvin chain including damage with an experiment on a three-point beam bending problem. The third study concerns the analysis of the Kelvin chain with damage on a stress relaxation problem in a loaded concrete beam and compares the results with the ANSYS calculation and experimental measurements. The aim is to analyze the effect of the parameter on the time-dependent behavior of the concrete and also the effect of the number of time increments N on the result.

Design of concrete structures with FRP reinforcement
Januš, Ondřej ; Girgle, František (referee) ; Štěpánek, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis presents design of construction with FRP reinforcement. Including design process of cross-section with FRP reinforcement exposed to bending moment and shear force at ultimate limite state according to given standards and guidelines. Long term physical and mechanical properties of FRPs are taking into account. There are also compared load capacities of cross-section exposed to combination of bending moment and axial force, which were designed according to mentioned standards. In another part of diploma thesis there is a design of construction (precast gatehouse) with FRP reinforcement and steel reinforcement with ordinary and lightweight concerete.

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.

Bridge ower the Opavice river
Tang, Minh Phú ; Russnák, Adam (referee) ; Panáček, Josef (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of a road bridge on the I/57 expressway over the relocation of the cycle path, the Opavice river and the local road, which involves the relocation of the access to the waterworks. The bridge structure is located in the territory of the town of Krnov. A study of the area's bridges is part of the project and three studies have been prepared. Study A was chosen for detailed processing. It is a continuous box girder bridge with three spans. The superstructure is designed as a monolithic, post-tensioned structure. A sliding girder is being investigated for the structure's construction. Scia Engineer 18.1 is used to do the load effects computation. Only the consequences of vertical load effects have been addressed, with no consideration of horizontal load effects. The structure was evaluated using limit states, taking into account the impact of construction on its design.

Prestressed bridge on the expressway
Juřenčáková, Jana ; Zlatuška, Karel (referee) ; Koláček, Jan (advisor)
The purpose of the diploma thesis is to design a expressway bridge over the river Vsetínská Bečva. The bridge is located between Valašské Meziříčí and Vsetín. Separate superstructures are designed for each directions of the expressway. The right superstructure, which is wider, is considered for detailed design. Two variants were proposed, A double T beam superstructure and a box girder superstructure. The three span box girder superstructure was chosen for the design. Spans are 48+65+48 m long. Two options of construction process of the superstructure were proposed. This bridge is designed according to the limit states, the influence of construction process is considered. Structural models of construction were made as a finite element model and a plate model. Structural analysis, drawings and visualization were developed.

Nonlinear Analysis of Composite Cross-Section With Respect To Effects of Shrinkage, Creep, Ageing and Temperature
Hron, Lukáš ; Kulhavý,, Tomáš (referee) ; Čajka,, Radim (referee) ; Vráblík,, Lukáš (referee) ; Navrátil, Jaroslav (advisor)
Advanced computational methods for the analysis of building structures are used more often in engineering practice. Their use is enforced not only by the demands for aesthetics, functionality and high economy of the construction, but often directly by code provisions and requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to provide for an engineer the robust, but transparent tool, which can be used for an efficient design of structure all over it's design working life. This work deals with the creation of a computational system for time dependent analysis of concrete and composite structures. It is assumed a solid or composite concrete section with possible application of pre-tensioned and/or post-tensioned tendons. Each phase of step-by-step build composite cross-section has a general geometry. The used algorithms give us the possibility of a detailed analysis of the structure in individual construction stages, provide the designer better view on the behavior of structures with respect to concrete aging, shrinkage and creep, relaxation of prestressed tendons and provide an information on the redistribution of internal forces in the structure and in different phases of the cross-section. Stress state of the structure calculated in this way come in useful further in the design and checking of ultimate and serviceability limit states. Results of time dependent analysis are verified by manual calculations and by comparing with the results obtained by simplified methods.

Numerical simulation of volume changes of selected cementitious composites
Drbušková, Magdaléna ; Veselý,, Václav (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
This thesis deals with volume changes of selected cementitious composites. They are divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical section describes the volume changes that occur in concrete structures. The practical part is focused primarily on the initial stage of shrinkage specimens of two-component cement composite (cement paste + aggregate) and it´s numerical simulation. For analysis were used SpatiDist and FyDiK 2D computer applications. It was simulating shrinkage of specimens with and without notch to compare. The result is a parametric study which reflects the influence of type and size of grain aggregate and shrinkage degree of cementitious paste.

The effective cross-section thickness and its effect on the behavior of concrete constructions
Hofírek, Radovan ; prof. ing. Jan L. Vítek, CSc. (referee) ; Borzovič,, Viktor (referee) ; Zich, Miloš (advisor)
Determination of rheological phenomenon is very difficult, because there are many unknown inputs parameters, e.g. concrete age, the size of elements, relative humidity of the surrounding environment, cement hydration rate, temperature influence, type of strain and treatment. This Ph.D. thesis deals with the effective cross-section thickness and its effect on the behaviour of concrete constructions that is how the rheological phenomena change in time as a result of the application or removal of insulation layer from the concrete surface. Long-term experimental measurements of specimens and real bridge constructions were performed. The data collected from these measurements were described, evaluated and mathematical modifications for the standards Model Code 2010 and Model B4 (B3) have been proposed. Using these new computational formulas is possible to take into consideration the changes in the effective cross-section thickness and therefore make the computational models for concrete structures more accurate.
