Mud-concrete block (MCB): mix design & durability characteristics
No full textMud-Concrete is a novel concept which employs a form of ‘Concrete’ produced using soil, cement and water. The initial concept of developing Mud-Concrete was to incorporate both the strength and durability of concrete into mud-based constructions to introduce a low-cost, load-bearing wall system with easy construction techniques which ensured indoor comfort while minimizing the impact on the environment. Here the fraction of soil is fulfilling the role of aggregate in the material and low quantities of cement will act as a stabilizer. Precisely the usable gravel range and the gravel percentage governs the compressive strength of the material. The considerable high-water amount is used for the hydration of cement and keep the flow of this material. This excessive water amount is enhancing its self-compacting quality, which is capable of self-consolidation, having the ability of passing, filling and being stable without the need of any external forces. Experimental test findings determined the mix proportions of Mud-Concrete block as 4% cement (minimum), fine ≤ 10% (≤ sieve size 0.425 mm), sand 55–60% (sieve size 0.425 mm ≤ sand ≤4.75 mm), gravel 30–35% (sieve size 4.75 mm ≤ gravel≤ 20 mm) and water 18% to 20% from the dry mix. Findings further confirmed that the durability of the Mud-Concrete block satisfied the required durability standards recorded in SLS 1382. Keywords: Mud-Concrete block (MCB), Mix proportion, Fraction of soil, Compressive strength, Durability, Self-compactio
Forms of judaism in writings of F.R. Kraus, František Kafka, Hana Bělohradská and J.R. Pick
No full textTéma této práce zní Podoby židovství v dílech F.R. Krause, Františka Kafky, Hany Bělohradské a J.R. Picka. Soustředila jsem se na méně známé české autory, kteří se ve své tvorbě věnovali tématu židovství. Jedná se o texty související s 2. světovou válkou. V úvodu je nastíněn stručný přehled o působení Židů na našem území, následuje představení zvolené čtveřice autorů. Hlavním cílem bylo přiblížit a rozebrat vybraná díla a v závěru shrnout jejich odlišné a podobné znaky. Současně byly tyto texty zařazeny do kontextu české prózy s tematikou okupace.Katedra českého jazyka a literaturyObhájenoThe theme of this bachelor work is called Forms of judaism in writings of F.R. Kraus, František Kafka, Hana Bělohradská and J.R. Pick. In this thesis the author tried to concentrate on a few less-known Czech writers, who devoted their writing to the fate of Jews during the Second World War. In the first part of this work the author outlined the influence of the Jewish etnic group on the population of our country, with the aim to gain orientation in the historical backgound of that time. Next the author analysed the texts of selected books with the Jewish theme from different points of view and in the end of her work compared the books she used. In the closing of this work there is a contextual classification of the mentioned books into the category of works with the topic of occupation, from the end of the Second World War until today
Mud-concrete slab system for sustainable construction
No full textThe urgency of global climate emergency has drawn significant attention to the building industry over the last few years. Today, the building sector is responsible for 38% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to UNEP. 60% -70% of embodied carbon in a conventional column-beam reinforced concrete building is in its floor system. This paper discusses the possibility of constructing an earthen slab system using mud-concrete. It investigates a doubly curved shell structure, working predominantly in compression, to fulfil both environmental and economical demands in the construction industry; reducing the cost and labour expenses nearly 50% compared with that of traditional reinforced concrete slab systems. A 1 m x 1 m prototype mud-concrete slab was constructed to check the potential for modular construction with a square footprint. Poured mud-concrete shell of 50 mm thickness is the primary structural component, while a non-structural mud-concrete filling to a horizontal level 50 mm from apex was used to create a usable floor surface. Masonry mould method was used as the formwork system for the construction considering its cost effectiveness and ease of construction

Effect of aggregate percentage on compressive strength of self-compacting in-situ cast Mud - Concrete load bearing walls
No full textMud-Concrete is a novel concept which produces a composite material using soil, cement and water. In the concept of Mud-Concrete technology, sand and metal of concrete are replaced by fine and coarse aggregates of soil. Furthermore, precise gravel percentage governs the strength of Mud-Concrete. Unlike a block when it comes to in-situ cast wall, the walling system could provide much space to both fine and coarse gravel in the mixture, because wall could expand its vertical boundaries. Therefore finding the optimum gravel size and the gravel: sand ratio is important to achieve the best mix for in-situ cast Mud-Concrete load-bearing wall. The experimental results showed that the best gravel (sieve size 4.75mm ≤ gravel≤ 32mm): sand(sieve size 0.425mm ≤ sand ≤4.75 mm): fine (≤ sieve size 0.425mm) ratio for in-situ cast Mud-Concrete wall is 45:50:5 with minimum 4% cement. Further the results indicate the usable gravel range in the soil for Mud-Concrete construction is limited to 35%-55% and sand is limited to 60%-40% with 4% cement. The compressive strength of the Mud-Concrete depends on the particle size distribution of developed soil, optimum gravel size and the optimum gravel: sand ratio of the mix
