Abstract:

The thesis is focused on the analysis of the theoretical part of the unbound mixtures, their implementation and compliance. Further deals with determining the extent frost susceptibility direct and indirect method in the Czech Republic and the Member States of the European Union. 
The practical part is focused on the performance of tests on selected samples of unbound mixtures for which was gradually increased the content of fine particles and that direct and indirect method of determining the rate of frost susceptibility and also the evaluation of direct methods of particular customized way, which does not impose the appropriate standard. At the conclusion of the work is carried out an evaluation of the samples and comparison of the different methods with each other.

Keywords:

Unbound mixtures, frost lift, the level of frost susceptibility, the influence of frost, ice lens , the Schleible criterion, a direct test of the frost susceptibility, frost index, the Proctor test, frost resistance, fine-grained particles
