  • Gunawardhana, HPB; Chamath, LG; Galhenage, AS [Conference-Abstract]
    As a tropical country, Sri Lanka experiences sunny conditions throughout the year. Most of the time vehicle users find it difficult to obtain shady places for their parking purposes. The temperature rise of the automobiles ...
  • Maddumahewa, KK; Madusanka, NPA; Sivahar, V [Conference-Abstract]
    Corrosion of reinforcement bars which are embedded in concrete is one of the significant problems encountered in reinforced concrete structures. Despite the fact that concrete gives protection against corrosion, ...
  • Pathirage, TG; Munasinghe, DKR; Udayakumara, SV [Conference-Abstract]
    In Sri Lanka used papers are re-utilized only for paper and board industry. However ,collecting used papers and recycling them are still highly inhomogeneous. Therefore major part of used papers become garbage. Used ...
  • Karunarathna, NPM [Conference-Abstract]
    Detection and measuring of larger strains as those exist in rubber components has long been a requirement that had met with limited success. Compared to traditional metallic strain gauge, elsatomer based strain sensors ...
  • Wimalaratne, BAPM; Madushan, WKR; Udayakumara, SV [Conference-Abstract]
    Wood-Plastic composites are materials made out of wood (Fibers, particles. dust, etc..) and thermoplastic materials (PP, LDPE, HDPE, etc...). From Recent history wood-plastic composites have an increase in popularity due ...
  • Silva, SM; Kulathilake, PHD; Attygalle, D; Amarasinghe, DAS [Conference-Abstract]
    Graphite Oxide (GO) was synthesized using the Improved Hummer’s Method. After the successful synthesis of GO, it was characterized and its dielectric properties were investigated. The change of dielectric behavior of GO ...
  • Abeysiri, NKDS; Kumarasinghe, KAMM [Conference-Abstract]
    Industrial waste, especially heavy metals such as mercury, have generated a significant threat to public health due to their toxicity and persistence in the environment. These effluents should be treated well before ...
  • Ranasinghe, HMLU; Madushanka, RD; Liyanage, NMVK [Conference-Abstract]
