Building Information Modelling “BIM” is becoming a better known established collaboration process in the construction industry. Owners are increasingly requiring BIM services from construction managers all over the world, ...

The stress-strain behaviour of elastomeric polymers, such as polyurethane (PU), exhibit high rate dependency, stress–strain non-linearity, and high pressure dependency when compared to other construction materials. Since ...

Water Safety Plan (WSP) is an effective risk assessment framework to elaborate possible risks for water supply systems. However, risk quantification of “severity” and “likelihood” of specific incidents is challenging especially ...

Defects in building construction are considered to be one of the recurring problems in the construction industry. It has adverse effects on project performance, building performance, and client or end-user satisfaction. The ...

The shortage of high-grade base material and emphasis on using recycling base material has led to use of geocells reinforced bases in the past decade. The geocells provide reinforcement by confining base material and have ...

Building information modeling and prefabrication are concepts that are undergoing intense study in the construction industry. As the technology to implement BIM is commercially available, many industries have started to ...

Many storm protecting structures (eg. seawalls) are increasingly built at the back of the beach such that breaking waves are unlikely to reach them during the normal sea state. These structures are predominantly subjected to ...

Gin Ganga (River) is the main raw water source to Greater Galle water Supply Scheme (GGWSS). Managing drinking water quality from catchment to consumer is the main objective of the Water Safety Plan (WSP) of GGWSS. There ...

Upper Mahaweli basin is the origination of the main water source of Sri Lanka which is the Mahaweli River. Therefore it is a timely requirement to identify the future climate trends on the basin, to take suitable adaptation ...

Abstract: Durability and impermeability in a water-retaining structure are of prime importance if the structure is to fulfill its function over its design life. In addition, serviceability cracking tends to govern the ...
