The development of ultra-high strength (UHPC) and reactive powder (RPC) composites
Rundt, Lukáš ; Hela,, Vlastimil (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Bachelor’s thesis studies ultra-high strength concrete and reactive powder composites. In theoretical part there are researched and described properties of raw materials used for their production, mainly additions. Design methodology, processing and types of curing are also studied. Psychical mechanic and durability properties of fresh and hardened concrete are described. In practical part 4 mixtures were designed and prepared and their rheological properties, strengths after 7 and 90 days in case of UHPC and strengths after 7, 28 and 60 days in case of RPC were tested.

Influence of fine particles granulometry on the physico-mechanical properties of concrete
Louda, Pavel ; Klečka,, Tomáš (referee) ; Ďurica,, Tibor (referee) ; Hubáček, Adam (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
The theoretical part describes the properties of fine-grained admixtures and the ways how these admixtures modify concrete properties. There are also described ways to assemble grain curves in the range 0-1000 m. The practical part describes the properties of all the concrete components used for the tests. From the admixtures and cement, the individual grain curves were compiled. Curves were assembled in the first stage manually by using MS Excel. Subsequently, a simple program was developed based on the knowledge of composing grain curves, which automatically compiles the grain curve according to the given limits. The maximum cement replacement was set at 25% by weight. The physical and mechanical properties of the graded curves thus established were first verified on mortar mixtures where the workability, bulk density and strength were verified at the age 7, 28 and 90 days. In addition, the porosity of cement cement with mercury porosimetry has been verified for selected recipes. The acquired knowledge was subsequently applied to the concrete in the laboratory. Here the maximum cement compensation was set at 30%. In particular, concrete consistency over time, air content in the concrete and compresive strength of concrete at the age 3, 7, 28 and 90 days were verified. Verification was also carried out in practice on the optimization of self-compacting concrete. Mechanical properties have been retained for optimized recipe but there were financial savings and CO2 emissions reductions compare with the original recipe.

The Influence of Fines on Pore System of Concrete
Elfmarková, Veronika ; Smolka, Hynek (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Literature does not provide a satisfactory answer to maximum and minimum particle size or the particle size of the mortar phase especially for optimal porosity of concrete. To overcome the shortcomings of the design methods were thought to design a new method for design of concrete mix. This idea is based on a complex analysis of powder materials (determination of granular properties, shape factor of fillers, porosity, packing of powder materials, surface area, etc.) and subsequently to assess the influence to pore system of concrete and physical and mechanical properties in hardened state of concrete. In this work are presented and analyzed two types of fillers – fly ash and limestone dust.
