Proposition of grounding enhancing cement composite mixture

The bachelor thesis deals with the design of a conductive cement composite grounding mixture for protection of building structures in areas with low conductivity. The theoretical part is mainly focused on summarizing the knowledge of the current protection of buildings against lightning and overvoltage. The study includes knowledge in the field of conductive building materials and aims to present the design of a cement composite mixture to improve grounding. Choosing the right raw materials to achieve electrical conductivity. A maintenance-free material has been developed, no humidity needed material while maintaining conductivity. The work it examines the possibilities of using industrial wastes as secondary raw materials. The conclusion focuses on laboratory testing of newly developed materials, summary and discussion of the results. With the developed samples, the resistivity was greatly reduced. The positive effect of ferric dust and carbon particles has been demonstrated
