  • Reducing the cost of prestressed concrete railway sleepers 
    Baskaran, K; Lakmali, JHDD
    In Sri Lanka, the cheapest and safest mode of transportation is railways. The loads applied by trains are transferred to the ground through rails supported on railway sleepers. In Sri Lanka, among the two types of sleepers ...
  • State of the art of concrete paving blocks in Sri Lanka (CPBs) 
    Baskaran, K; Gopinath, K [Conference-Full-text]
    It is in the last five years that the stakeholders of concrete paving blocks (CPBs) are awakening to engineer the CPBs in Sri Lanka. Although large scale production of CPBs has already flourished in Sri Lanka, their ...

  • Strength assessment of flat slabs on non-rectangular column grid 
    Baskaran, K; Morley, CT [Article-Full-text]
    Flat slab construction has proved efficient and large numbers have been built. Often the layout of columns is limited to rectangular grid owing to the scarcity of structural analysis tools validated by experimental evidence. ...
  • Strength assessment of steel towers 
    Baskaran, K; Jeneevan, G; Jayasinghe, JPLM; Hettiarachchi, HHANC [Conference-Abstract]
    In the recent past, considerable number of tower failures happened in telecommunication sector and power transmission sector in Sri Lanka. However, no lessons were learnt and there is still a vacuum in strength assessment ...

  • Study on applicability of ACI and DoE mix design methods for paving blocks 
    Baskaran, K; Gopinath, K [Article-Abstract]
    Applicability of either ACI or DoE mix design method for paving blocks is limited in the published literature. Further, small scale paving block manufacturers struggle at the initial stages to come up with mix proportions. ...
  • Study on bamboo and steel as hybrid reinforcement for concrete slab 
    Parasuram, M; Baskaran, K [Conference-Full-text]
    For a developing country like Sri Lanka, imported construction material like steel is not cost-effective. The increasing trend in demand for construction material leads to an increase in the consumption of natural ...
