Paper concentrates on issues regarding Leveraged Buyout transactions. It briefly depicts most common structure of transactions and means of financing. Substantial space is dedicated to two main participants on leveraged buyouts; investment banks and private equity funds. Instead on focusing on thoroughly described financing of the acquisition via secured bank loans we dedicate space in the thesis to mezzanine finance and high yield bonds. Second part of the thesis analysis latest development in the two main and most active regions regarding mergers and acquisition activity (Europe and USA) and compares Central Europe with it. Although capital markets developed substantially over past decades they are still lagging significantly former.

The continuous population increase in recent years requires a greater number of households to be built quickly, with good materials and produced under quality standards that guarantee their manufacturing process. The prefabricated concrete, produced and supplied by concrete plants, is poured into the different structural elements, the mezzanine slabs being the most careful surfaces in the appearance of fissures; because being horizontal and having larger dimensions, the dimensional changes in the concrete appear more frequently due to the rapid loss of water from the surface of the concrete before setting; which generates superior stresses to the resistant capacity of the concrete at early ages, which affect the durability and reduce the resistance of the structures, causing greater economic expenses in maintenance and repairs. In the present investigation, 5%, 10% and 15% of rice husk ash was used as a replacement for cement and 900g/m3 of polypropylene fiber; The results indicate that as the percentage of rice husk ash increases, there is a reduction in the slump and the crack fissures, and that the resistance to compression and flexion decreases, with respect to the concrete pattern.
