Polymerem impregnované cementové materiály představují zajímavou a perspektivní alternativu klasických portlandských cementových past. Hlavním zástupcem těchto materiálů jsou macrodefect-free (MDF) kompozity, složené z anorganického pojiva a organického polymeru. I přes řadu vynikajících mechanických vlastností je plné zavedení MDF kompozitů na trh omezené především z důvodu jejich relativně nízké odolnosti vůči vlhkosti. Jednou z možností jak zvýšit odolnost výsledného MDF vůči vlhkosti je „in situ“ síťování polymeru. V této práci byla připravena počáteční série MDF kompozitů na bázi hlinitanového cementu a polyvinylalkoholu se třemi typy organo-titanátových síťovacích činidel (Tyzory). Efekt modifikace MDF kompozitů byl hodnocen na základě zkoušek pevnosti v tahu za ohybu po uložení materiálů v různých vlhkostních podmínkách.

This master’s thesis is focused on the effect of mixing water pH value on hydration and mechanical properties of cement composites based on portland cement. Source material was CEM I 42,5 R. Hydration process was analyzed by isoperibolic calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis and differential thermal analysis. Compressive and flexural strength was examined as mechanical properties. The samples microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Influence of mixing water pH value on flexural and compressive strength, retardation of hydration and ratio of individual phases was shown.

This work is focused on a solving of problems regarding a total hip replacement with a fractured femur. The fracture is located in the distal end of the total joint replacement stem and the fracture is spreading in the proximal direction on the boundary of the bone and cement. A proximal part of femur is reinforced by fixing tape. There is also briefly described how computer models were carried out. Furthermore a stress - strain analysis of solved system has been performed in this work. The solution was realized using the finite element method in computational program ANSYS Workbench. Different variants with change of a fracture range and number of fixing tapes were considered during the solving. Stress - strain analysis shows that due a application of fourth fixing tape occurs lowering of main stresses values in the femur in fracture region. Simultaneously occurs a reduction of Equivalent stress values on a distal part of stem.

The subject of the doctoral thesis is the study of moisture resistance of macro-defect-free (MDF) composites based on calcium-aluminate cement and polyvinylalcohol used as polymer. MDF cements are perspective materials providing unique properties relative to traditional cement pastes with great potential to incoming constructional utilization. But it is known that MDF cements exhibit sensitivity to water, with swelling and reduction of strength. Therefore the work is aimed in monitoring of an organic polymer effect on the moisture resistance of MDF materials and phase changes. The effects of three different organotitanate cross-linking agents on the properties were investigated. The organotitanate-modified MDF cement samples exhibited improved moisture resistance as compared to the standard samples when exposed to 100 % relative humidity or water at laboratory conditions. The influence of composition at different curing on the properties of model MDF cement samples was observed. The characterization of MDF samples was based especially on test of flexural strength, XRD, DTA/TGA and EGA, EDS and scanning electron microscopy analyses.

Natural hydraulic lime and natural cement have been used in the building industry for centuries. These inorganic hydraulic binders are called "traditional" or "alternative" because they can, in some cases, substitute modern Portland cement. The recent increased interest in these binders is due not only to their use in restoration practices, but also because their production and use is less energetically demanding than in modern cements. Historically, many types of hydraulic binders were produced in the regions of Bohemia and Moravia. However, much information has been lost about their manufacturing process, which raw materials were used, and we are uncertain of the exact character and properties of the burned material. To date, studies have only addressed the impact of the chemical composition of raw material on the parameters of the burned material - all this is well known for Portland cement, much less for other types of hydraulic binders. The aim of this dissertation was to study the various types of raw materials (limestone containing non- carbon admixtures) and to understand the characteristics of their respective hydraulic lime and natural cement. This was done by analyzing the impact of conditions (highest achieved burning temperature and time of burning) and the mineral and chemical...

Vattenbyggnadsbetong används som en samlande beteckning på betongkonstruktioner relaterade till vattenkraftanläggningar, dammar och tyngre anläggningar. Med stor framgång har man använt betong under mycket lång tid för dessa typer av konstruktioner. Dessa konstruktioner ställer höga krav på betongens kvalitet och konstruktionsutformning eftersom de förväntas ha en livslängd på ett hundra år eller mer.   Vid gjutning så utsätts betongen för en temperaturstegring som kan leda till sprickbildning i den nygjutna konstruktionen. Eftersom temperaturstegringen är den primära orsaken till sprickrisken så kan man använda olika metoder för att minska detta. Ett verksamt sätt för att minska temperaturstegringen är att försöka hålla cementhalten i betongen så låg som möjligt, eftersom man vid adiabatiska förhållanden kan säga att den totala temperaturstegringen är direkt proportionell mot cementhalten i betongen. Ett verksamt sätt är att minska denna temperaturstegring är att använda sig utav en del flygaska istället för cement. Flygaska är en pulvermassa som fås vid tillverkning av el- och värmeproduktion på kolkraftverken och kraftvärmeverken. Flygaska är ett puzzolant material vilket innebär att det reagerar med kalciumhydroxid och vatten, och kan på så vis delvis ersätta klinker i cement.   Syftet med denna rapport är att ge en ökad förståelse i hur flygaska påverkar vattenbyggnadsbetong. Genom att läsa denna rapport så får man till en början grundläggande kunskaper om vad betong, vattenbyggnadsbetong och flygaska är för något. Vidare avsnitt som behandlas är sprickbildning i vattenbyggnadsbetong, allmän kunskap följt utav orsaker och åtgärder. En jämförelse har gjorts mellan en typisk vattenbyggnads konstruktionsdel, med respektive utan flygaska. Det som jämförts är hur konstruktionen påverkats med respektive utan flygaska med avseende på hållfasthet, beständighet och risk för sprickbildning. Vidare så har temperatursprickberäkningar utförts med programmet HACON. Syftet med beräkningarna var att visa hur olika parametrar med respektive utan flygaska påverkar risken för sprickbildning i en typisk vattenbyggnadskonstruktion.   Resultatet av temperaturberäkningarna visar att man får en lägre temperaturutveckling i en monolit gjuten med flygaska och anläggningscement jämfört med en monolit gjuten med anläggningscement utan flygaska. I och med den reducerade temperaturutvecklingen så uppstod det lägre spänningar i flygaskemonoliten. I undersökningen som utförts i denna rapport visar resultatet att det uppstår dragspänningar som överskrider draghållfastheten i monoliten utan flygaska och därmed spricker konstruktionen. I monoliten som undersökts med flygaska som sprickförebyggande åtgärd uppstår dragspänningar som är lägre än draghållfastheten och därmed spricker inte konstruktionen. Resultatet visar att sprickrisken i en typisk vattenbyggnadskonstruktion kan reduceras med flygaska som sprickförebyggande åtgärd. / Engineering Concrete is used as a collective term for concrete structures related to the hydropower plants, dams and heavier plants. With great success, concrete has been used for a very long time for these types of structures. These constructions make high demands on the concrete quality and construction design as they are expected to have a lifetime of a hundred years or more.   In casting such concrete is exposed to a temperature which can lead to cracking of the newly cast structure. Because the temperature rise is the primary cause of cracking, you can use various methods to reduce this. An effective way to reduce the temperature rise is to try to keep the cement content in the concrete as low as possible, because at the adiabatic conditions may say that the total temperature rise is directly proportional to the cement content in the concrete. An effective way to reduce the temperature rise is to use out some fly ash instead of cement. Fly ash is a powder mass obtained in the production of electricity and heat in coal-fired plants and cogeneration plants. Fly ash is a puzzolanic material which means that it reacts with calcium hydroxide and water, and can thus partially replace cement clinker.   The purpose of this report is to provide a better understanding of how the fly ash affecting hydraulic concrete. By reading this report you will get at first a basic knowledge of what the concrete, hydraulic concrete and fly ash are. Furthermore, the section that dealt with the cracking of the hydraulic concrete, general knowledge followed out causes and remedies. A comparison has been made between a typical water building structural component, with and without fly ash. What has been compared are how the construction affected with and without fly ash on strength, resistance and the risk of cracking. Furthermore, the temperature dot calculations performed with the program HACON. The purpose of the calculations was to show how the different parameters with and without fly ash affects the risk of cracking of a typical hydraulic structures.   The result of the temperature calculations show that you get a lower temperature development in a monolith cast with the fly ash and the construction cements compared to a monolith molded with construction cement without fly ash. With the reduced temperature development arose lower tensions in the flyashmonolith. In the survey carried out in this report, the results show that there is tension that exceeds the tensile strength of the monolith without fly ash and thereby bursting the structure. The monolith examined with fly ash as crackreducing action occurs tensile stresses which are lower than the tensile strength and thus does not crack structure. The results show that the cracking in a typical hydraulic structures can be reduced with fly ash.
