With the growing population, there can be seen many developments in the construction field in recent times. People tend to move to the city areas seeking more facilities. However, this has been very difficult due to the ...
This paper aims to investigate the fatigue performance of CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer) bonded steel plate under the three point flexural fatigue. CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer) bonded steel plate subjected ...
The cement blocks are a prefabricated material mainly used to build masonry walls in construction industry. Self-weight of units, workmanship and construction time are key factors affecting the masonry wall construction. ...
Apartments in tall buildings are often promoted as a solution to rapid urban migration that is happening in the world. However, all the apartment houses that have been undertaken in many parts of the world in large cities ...
The concept of using Fiber reinforced polymer composites for strengthening of concrete structures is one of the trending research areas in the civil engineering industry. Although the use of Near Surface Mounted (NSM) CFRP ...
An experimental program was carried out to investigate the flexural behavior of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strengthened reinforced concrete curved beams using the Near Surface Mounted technique (NSM). Seven ...
The ever-increasing demand for housing and other types of buildings results in heavy utilization of construction materials. Such a growing demand causes an over-exploitation of natural resources in the material manufacturing ...
Concrete is the most widely used and versatile material of construction all over the world. All these years, natural river sand is being used as fine aggregate, by the Sri Lankan concrete industry. However, the amount of ...
The flexible pavements are highly vulnerable to surface damage due to an increase in temperature, excessive load, moisture and aging of asphalt mixes. They should have high engineering and structural performance to have a ...
Various agencies have been involved in multitude of programmes on road construction projects in Sri Lanka. Almost all such programs have been implemented in the nature of supply driven system in which the beneficiaries ...

JIIPE Gresik’s Industrial Area, East Java, Indonesia is located in Randublatung depression zone, which is rich of sedimentary rock. In this study, we use two samples sedimentary rock (samples K2 and K5) that have been ...
One of the oldest engineering disciplines, civil engineering, has many branches such as construction, geotechnical, water resources and transportation engineering; that significantly impact the environment. Sri Lanka, being ...
Acoustic performance of an arena is measured and classified by it’s acoustic parameters. The acoustic parameters are used for the designing of the sound systems and improving the arena’s acoustic performance by proper sound ...
In recent decades, the application of cold-formed stainless steel structural sections in the construction industry has become increasingly prevalent worldwide due to their favourable material characteristics, improved ...
Historic buildings are considered an important asset for countries and societies as they reflect the cultural past as well as become a source of income for both the country as well as the people living in the area. UNESCO ...
A Markov Chain is a model of a sequence of event transitions in which the transitions from one event to other events occur with a fixed probability for a fixed time duration. In general both the events and time steps are ...
In modern facade construction, unitized aluminium framed and glazed facades have gained increasing popularity. In these unitized systems, vertical load bearing member is a split mullion (or mullion couple) made of thin-walled ...
In Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) is a thin permeable layer of special type Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) which contains a combination of uniform size aggregate skeleton with minimum fines, and high asphalt content. OGFC is ...
Strength and durability are two key aspects of the construction industry all over the world. Even though durability still holds an important position and it will have a huge impact in the maintenance period of a structure, ...
Road authorities are experiencing a considerable degree of moisture associated distresses such as ravelling and stripping, on flexible pavements. Therefore, it is required to modify asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures to have ...
