The main objective of the experiment is to verify the effect of the combination of these two energy by-products on simpler systems – cement pastes. In the experimental part, the evolution of hydration temperatures and the time course of volume changes were monitored. The results obtained indicate that the addition of fluid fly ash to the mixture intensifies the hydration reaction, despite the increase in the value of the water to cement ratio of the mixture. At the same time, there is a slight increase in volume changes, which can be considered as a very valuable contribution to technical practice, taking into account possible ecological or economic aspects.","PeriodicalId":7150,"journal":{"name":"Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141126014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selected clay soil was stabilized with cement and CSW at 2, 4, and 6 % by weight of soil. Compressive strength, the resistance to freezing and thawing, Initial bearing index (IBI), and California bearing capacity (CBR) were monitored. The research did not confirm better performance of CSW binder even at higher dosage compared to cement, which was due to the high water content of the mixtures.

Reducing emissions is possible thanks to secondary raw materials, which are produced in large quantities in the Czech Republic volumes for which a suitable use is sought. Some secondary raw materials are suitable for use in concrete mixes, which are used to improve the rheology of the fresh concrete mixture as well as the properties hardened concrete. Currently, there is an effort to eliminate the production of cement, to which its partial replacement by admixtures could also contribute. Therefore it is necessary determine the optimal admixture that could be used to replace part of the cement in concrete mix.

A monolithic part of the structure was made of UHPC from fresh transport concrete, which was produced by Skanska Transbeton. The special feature is that about 126m3 of fresh concrete was industrially prepared. This concrete achieved the properties of SCC and the final 28 day compressive strength was 120MPa with tensile strength of 18.6 MPa. Due to high hydration heat release rate, an internal water cooling system was designed and sucessfully appled using water from Vltava River.","PeriodicalId":7150,"journal":{"name":"Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141127341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these must also be complemented by core samples, which can be used to determine not only the compressive strength but also other important properties. The paper focuses on the evaluation of a reinforced concrete column that was gradually loaded until failure occurred. During loading, the quality of the concrete throughout the column was monitored using the ultrasonic pulse velocity method and, after loading was finished, the cores were taken from the column. The specimens, obtained from the core samples, were then carefully analysed using both non-destructive and destructive tests.
