Possibilities of using plasticizers and superplasticizers in alkali-activated systems
Langová, Markéta ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Kalina, Lukáš (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with the preparation and properties alkali activated blast furnace slag after addition of the different types of plasticizers and superplasticizers with the different weight percentage amount. The aim of this thesis is to find suitable plasticizers or superplasticizers which would improve both workability and mechanical properties of alkali activated blast furnace slag. The effect of these admixtures on compressive and flexural strength was determined. In conclusion the behaviour of plasticizing admixtures in alkaline environment through the infrared spectrometry is studied.

Possibilities of using recycled concrete as fine aggregate replacement in cement screeds
Nováková, Iveta ; Brožovský,, jiří (referee) ; Hubáček, Adam (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with summary of knowledge about cement-based screed with partial replacement of natural aggregates by recycled aggregates. Special emphasis is given to describing and studying characteristics of cement-based flowscreed. In this study are described feedstocks with requirements which they must meet and test methods for testing properties of screeds. One part is also given to practical application of cement-based flowscreed with partial replacement of natural aggregates by recycled aggregates.

Rheology in Technology of Inorganic Binders
Kosár, Petr ; Másilko, Jiří (referee) ; Zmrzlý, Martin (advisor)
This final thesis deals with the study of rheological behaviour of cement pastes. The introductory part describes the composition of Portland cement. Next, a detailed description of mutual interaction between cement and water and the principle of superplasticizer affection follows. The thesis includes a description of properties and interaction of alumina cement with water as well as rheological properties of suspensions and cement pastes. Finally, the theoretical part provides a survey of the elementary methods and equipment for the evaluation of rheological properties of cement materials. The experimental part includes measurement and evaluation of rheological properties (flow curves, plastic viscosity and yield stress) of cement pastes with different composition. The influences of water-cement ratio, amount of superplasticizer and the kind of cement on rheological properties of cement pastes are compared here.

The possibilities regulation of production hydration heat of concrete with plasticizer
Hermann, Radek ; Halas, Vladimír (referee) ; Sedlmajer, Martin (advisor)
This thesis studies the problematics of water reducing and high range water reducing admixtures and their influence on the process of hydration of cement pastes. The process of hydration is examined in this thesis both in terms of hydration heat and hydration temperature rise. Attention is also paid to the influence of plasticizers in combination with retarding admixture regarding rheological properties of modified fresh cement pastes and their mechanical properties after 3 and 7 days from mixing.

The Study of Aditives and Admixture Influence on High-Performance Concrete Properties
Šiler, Pavel ; Bílek, Vlastimil (referee) ; Brandštetr, Jiří (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
The aim of this work was to develop the method for the determination of the superperplasticizers (SP) content in the water solution. The method developed was then applied to study the SP adsorption on the individual components used for high-performance concrete and the influence of the temperature and pH values over this adsorption. Furthermore the influence of the water to binder ratio, SP, finely grounded granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, silica fume, finely ground silica sand and bauxite on the hydration process was studied by means of isoperibolic, isothermal and solution calorimetry. The compressive and flexural strength of most samples used in calorimetric experiments was also determined.

Gypsum free cements with retarded setting by plastisizer and alkali compond
Sedlařík, Tomáš ; Ptáček, Petr (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
This thesis deals with preparation of gypsum free cements with retarded solidification. It focuses on their preparation by alkali activation with addition of superplasticizers and without superplasticizers. The main aim of this work is to suggest substitution of gypsum in Portland cement by other materials. Ash after fluidized combustion was chosen as a good compensatory raw material with respect to sustainable development. Milled fluidized bed ash from heating station Třinec was tested. Examined pastes were prepared by alkali activation. 50% solution NaOH and sodium water-glass were used as alkali activators. Trial specimens (20x20x100 mm) were prepared from pastes. Measurements of calorimetric properties of unprocessed pastes tested mixtures were implemented. Bending and compressive strength of pastes were also explored.

Effect of chemical additives on the process hydration temperature of cement pastes
Knotová, Kateřina ; Halas, Vladimír (referee) ; Sedlmajer, Martin (advisor)
Chemical additives, especially plasticizers and super plasticizers, are necessary components of nearly every concrete. These additives improve the workability of grout and concrete mixes thereby reducing vibration intensity during process of compaction. Advantages of these additives are associated with reduction of the amount of gauging water which leads to decrease water-cement ratio, increase strength and durability of concrete, eventually improve other attributes. The aim of this thesis is to observe the effect of plasticizers and their dosage on the rheology and development of hydration temperatures in simpler systems, which are the cement pastes. The thesis also considers compressive, tensile and flexural strength of concrete.

Improving of dispersion of silica fume in high performance concrete
Janča, Martin ; Koutný, Ondřej (referee) ; Šiler, Pavel (advisor)
The goal of this work was to create a method for improving the dispersion of silica fumes for use in high performance concrete. Traditional methods used to design and manufacture high performance concrete emphasize the removal of coarse aggregates. Use of specially sorted fine aggregates at relatively low doses, the use of super-plasticizers and siliceous excrement. The low water content was achieved by using superplasticizer on a polycarboxylate basis. The standard ultrasound technology found in each laboratory was selected for the dispersion of silica fume. For experiments were we used dry silica fume powder and aqueous stabilized suspension. For comparison, were prepared different mixtures which showed the effects of the treatment prior to the use of silica fume.
