Low temperature properties of asphalt binders and mixtures
Veselý, Petr ; Koudelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
Today’s society is highly reliable on a working road infrastructure, which is because of collective efforts already built in terms of main net of roadways, and the attention is now paid to its service life primarily from a point of view of a climate change which is causing more frequent temperature extremes. This thesis sets its goal to perform basic tests for bitumen, especially ones dealing with low temperature properties, on types of bitumen usually used in out day to day world and asphalt mixtures made with those types of bitumen. The theoretical part talks about the basic definition of bitumen and studies performed on the similar issue. Practical part of the thesis is focused on performing the tests of bitumen and asphalt, which include but are not limited to, penetration test, softening point test, critical temperature detected by method by Fraasse and the bending beam rheometer and the test to set critical temperature of asphalt by using TSRST. At the end of the thesis the evaluation of results and its mutual correlation is performed.

Recycled aggregates to asphalt mixtures of the flexible pavements
Kropáč, Pavel ; Zdřálek, Petr (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the theoretical part of the creation, distribution and recycling of construction and demolition waste. Subsequently covers made from these recycled construction and demolition waste and its potential application in structural layers of the pavement. In the practical part of the thesis deals with monitoring the overall properties of nine asphalt mixtures with different proportion of recycled concrete aggregate and asphalt binder, which are designed and intended for bed asphalt pavement. The recycled concrete aggregate and asphalt are performed various laboratory tests, the results are subjected to a comparison with the relevant standards and TP 210. The conclusion is made price comparisons of asphalt mixtures.

Usage of polymer modified bitumens and rejuvenators in asphalt mixtures
Maláník, Stanislav ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with the influence of various dosing of Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) using modified bitumen on the properties of asphalt concrete (ACO 11+) of cemented by polymer modified bitumen, while a rejuvenating agents are added into asphalt mixtures. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the basic knowledge of pavement recycling, polymer modified bitumens and their reuse in asphalt mixtures. The practical part deals with laboratory tests of ACO 11+ mixtures with the RAP proportion of 0 % to 50 %. The asphalt mixtures compared are evaluated by means of the Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Test (TSRST) and Stiffness test. The results obtained within the diploma thesis can approximate the issue of recycling of asphalt mixtures with polymer modified bitumens.

Modification of asphalt mixtures
Zeleňák, Matej ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
This master’s thesis studies impact of direct-to-plant SBS polymer on properties of asphalt binder and asphalt mixture. It uses a new modification additive. The addition takes place directly during the mixing in the plant. This technology is not commonly used in Czech Republic. The theoretical part of this thesis describes current experiences with this method of modification. The procedures of laboratory tests needle penetration, softening point, elastic recovery, stiffness and low-temperature properties are described. The practical part presents values measured during preparation of test samples. Furthermore, it analyses the test results of the binders and mixtures in detail. The thesis concludes by evaluation of each test result and by summarization of the findings.

Issue of asphalt mixtures with coarse-grained aggregates
Koblížek, Ondřej ; Hýzl, Petr (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of asphalt mixture of asphalt concrete type for base courses with maximum aggregate grain up to 32 mm and investigates the influence of the amount of asphalt binder on the properties of this mixture. The theoretical part describes the problem of aggregate shortage in the Czech Republic and the division of aggregates into various categories. In the next part, the laboratory used tests (needle penetration determination, softening point determination, compaction degree, determination of the stiffness modulus, low temperature properties and wheel tracking) are described in detail. The practical part describes the used materials, the results of the laboratory tests, their comparison and evaluation.

Use of RAP in coarse-grained asphalt mixtures
Teslík, Jozef ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis examines the possibilities of using R-material in coarse-grained asphalt mixtures for ACP32 base layers. The theoretical part deals with the availability of aggregates in the Czech Republic and also solves the issue of producing asphalt mixtures with a higher content of R-material. The theoretical part also compares the use of R-materials in the Czech Republic with other countries. The practical part deals with the design, production and testing of selected mixtures. To determine the properties of the mixtures, the rolling wheel tests, TSRST and the determination of the modulus of elasticity were selected.

Shear stress relaxation of bituminous binders in DSR
Musil, Vladimír ; Hegr, Zdeněk (referee) ; Dašek, Ondřej (advisor)
The thesis describes the relaxation properties of bituminous binders determined in dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). Paving bitumen, polymer modified bitumen (PMB) and crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRmB) were chosen for comparison. In order to describe the effects of ageing on asphalt binders relaxation properties, the laboratory simulation of ageing using RTFOT and 3xRTFOT method was performed. For each binder were simultaneously conducted tests of needle penetration, softening point and elastic recovery. Selected bitumens were used for the production of asphalt mixtures. The low-temperature properties tests (TSRST) were performed for these mixtures, when the results were compared to the relaxation properties of binders determined in the DSR.

The use of glassgrids in asphalt pavement structure
Sadil, Dominik ; Šperka, Pavel (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of fiberglass grids in asphalt layers. These materials are used as reinforcement materials in road construction primarily to partially elimination or delay the formation of cracks in the roadway and to transfer the tensile loads that are distributed to the sub-layers. The bachelor thesis tests the properties asphalt layers reinforced by geogrids by using selected functional tests and also was monitored their behavior between asphalt layers. At the same time, the thesis determines whether these functional tests are practically applicable for asphalt layers with fiberglass grids.
