Performance of basic technological tests of aggregates according to the valid Czech Standards ČSN. Practical testing of selected standard methods for consistency determination according to valid Standard ČSN ISO on particularly defined and prepared concrete mixes. Effect of water quantity in concrete under constant dose of cement on workability of concrete and on strength of concrete after 7 days of standard hardening. Practical verification of selected technological variables influence on concrete mixing, and on the workability of fresh concrete, Rb/7d, volume mass/7d and shrinkage of concrete in time dependence during standard storing.
Determination of fresh concrete physical properties after 28 days of standard hardening.
Determination of aggregates grain size composition and of plasticizing additives on rheological properties of fresh concrete and on the strength of hardened concrete under selected constant variables.
Determination of minimum porosity.
