Thesis presents experimental research on hempcrete. Testing of its mechanical properties and fire resistance is shown. Review of literature and research on this topic is included. In the concrete laboratory, a pressure test was performed on the test specimens of the standard mixture and on the test specimens of four additional mixtures of hempcrete with the addition of ground granulated blast furnace slag. The test was performed after 28 and 56 days of drying in a controlled environment. Three specimens were exposed to elevated temperatures before performing the pressure test after 56 days of drying. This was followed by processing the results of the pressure test, namely the compressive strength at 10% deformation, the maximum compressive strength before the deformation reaches 10%, and the modulus of elasticity. More detailed research on compressive strength was carried out and issummarized at the end. Results and findings on the fire resistance of the material are given, as well as a summary of further research within the framework of fire resistance research, response to fire, and classification.
