EFFECTS OF ABRASIVES DURING ACCELERATED SIMULATION OF MECHANICAL CORROSION OF CEMENT COMPOSITES USING ABRASIVE WATER FLOW
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2019)The paper deals with the use of the abrasive water flow technology in an accelerated simulation of the process of mechanical degradation of surface layers of cement-based composites by flowing liquids. Effects of the ... -
ANALYSIS OF CORROSION PRODUCTS FROM WW2 CONCRETE BUNKERS IN CZECHIA
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2019)The paper deals with analysis of corrosion products from historic concrete bunkers which were built in the 1930’s. Most of these objects evince numerous failures due to water penetration into the concrete structures. Two ... -
ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF FLY ASH GEOPOLYMER COMPOSITES WITH GRAPHITE CONDUCTIVE ADMIXTURES
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2019)Construction materials with increased electrical conductivity could be possibly used in health monitoring of structures (stress, deformation, damages), their maintenance or traffic monitoring. The aim of this study was the ... -
VERIFICATION OF THE BASIC PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED AND NATURAL AGGREGATES
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2019)In the future, it is planned to use up to 50% of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) for the production of new building structures. This leads us to think about how we can use recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as ... -
PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND DURABILITY OF HYDRAULIC LIME-BASED MORTARS WITH NON-TRADITIONAL BIOPOLYMERS
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2019)The study focuses on the influence of addition of four different biopolymers in various doses (0.1%, 0.5%, and 1%) on the physical-mechanical properties and durability of NHL 3.5 mortars prepared with constant water/binder ... -
LIGHTWEIGHT UHPC FACADE PANEL WITH LED DISPLAY
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2019)This article deals with the development of lightweight UHPC facade panel which also can serve as an LED display. Combining both functions into one gives the potential ability to create a LED display on the facade of the ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF ACCELERATED CHLORIDE TRANSPORT IN CONCRETE
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2019)This contribution deals with the efficiency of electromigration of chlorides used as a repair method for reinforced concrete structures.
