Department of Materials and Structures
• Fundamental research on multicomponent cement pastes, mortars, and concretes
• Special applications of developed cement composites, such as geothermal wells, high-performance concrete constructions with radiation shielding properties
• Developing of materials fulfilling ecological and economic requirements connected with reduced CO2 footprints, saving of natural resources, and using of locally available materials and by-products.
Head of the Department: Ing. Eva Kuzielová, PhD.
Current research activities:
Study of carbonation and combined chemical corrosion of cement composites caused by the effect of geothermal water
Investigation of the degradation impact of high temperature and pressure
Design and optimization of heavy-weight concrete compositions for the fields with different degrees of ionizing radiation
Development of fiber-reinforced heavy-weight self-compacting mortars with special protection properties against ballistic missiles
Current scientific projects:
Research and development of multi-component cementitious blends for special construction materials
Study of multicomponent cement material degradation under conditions simulating CO2 enriched geothermal environment
Material composition and properties of self-compacting heavyweight concrete
Scientific projects solved in the last 5 years
Study of hydration process and microstructure development in multi-component cementitious binders
