Cost increases due to earthquake resistant detailing of concrete structures

Perera, DFU; Jayasinghe, MTR [Article-Full-text]

There are two major factors that discourage the use of earthquake resistant design and detailing of structures constructed in Sri Lanka. They are the belief that the earthquake resistant structures will cost a lot more ...
Improvements to foundations of loadbearing brickwork

Jayasinghe, MTR [Article-Full-text]

It is practically possible to construct masonry load bearing structures that will not show any cracks due to differential settlements caused by foundation provided that proper precautions are taken. Taking adequate ...
Minimisation of energy demand in buildings

Jayasinghe, MTR; Attalage, RA [Article-Full-text]

The neutral temperatures for different locations in Sri Lanka have been established using actual climatic data. Based on these neutral temperatures, standard comfort zone for each of these locations have been identified ...
Minimisation of energy demand in buildings

Jayasinghe, MTR; Attalage, RA [Article-Full-text]

The neutral temperatures for different locations in Sri Lanka have been established using actual climatic data. Based on these neutral temperatures, standard comfort zone for each of these locations have been identified ...
Orientation of roof and openings: their influence on indoor thermal comofrt of single-storey houses

Jayasinghe, MTR; Priyanvada, AKM; Jayawardena, AI [Article-Full-text]

At present, the selection of the roof type and roof orientation for houses is primarily based on cost and aesthetic considerations, without much regard to the thermal performance of the roof. However, since Sri Lanka is ...
Passive concepts for improvement of thermal an visual comfort in houses in Sri Lanka

Jayawardane, AI; Jayasinghe, MTR; Attalage, RA [Article-Full-text]

One of the primary requirements of houses constructed in hot humid climatic conditions such as those prevailing in Sri Lanka is that those should be thermally comfortable for the occupants throughout the day and around ...
Quantification of the thermal performance of free-running three-storey houses

Jayawardena, AI; Jayasinghe, MTR; Attalage, RA [Article-Full-text]

This paper explores the possible means to adopt environmentally-friendly passive techniques to promote thermal comfort inside houses with the view of minimizing the use of energy-intensive active means such as fans. ...
Structural forms suitable for ground water reservoirs constructed in Sri Lanka

Jayasinghe, MTR; Gunasinghe, PU; Puvanachandran, K; Ismail, KLM [Article-Full-text]

The structural forms used for rectangular and circular reservoirs have been reviewed, It is shown that although the rectangular form with buttresses and tie beams gives an efficient arrangement, it has a poor performance ...
Thermal performance of free-running three-storey houses: an assessment through computer simulations

Jayasinghe, MTR; Attalage, RA; Jayawardena, AI [Article-Full-text]

Sri Lanka is presently facing a serious energy crisis due to continuous increase in energy demand annually. One of the solutions for this is energy conservation for which houses are a good candidate. The need for using ...
