• Cost economics of precast walling systems for multistorey buildings – a case study-based approach 

  Rathnayake, RMBCK; Jayasinghe, C [Conference-Abstract]

  Traditional monolithic building construction is labour and time- intensive and usually found in inadequate quality. Rapid urbanization and steadily expanding metropolitan populations need fast and time-saving construction ...
• Analysis of the effect of wind on façade fire propagation through computational fluid dynamics modelling 

  Gunarathne, GKUS; Rathnayaka, S; Weerasinghe, TGPL; Nanayakkara, SMA [Conference-Abstract]

  Façade fires are one of the most critical and increasingly frequent hazards in buildings. These fires pose a great risk to the building occupants. The Grenfell Tower fire, which happened in 2017, killing 72 people, is ...
• Mobilisation of negative skin friction through soft soil sandwiched between stiff residual soil layers 

  Ansar, FSA; de Silva, LIN [Conference-Abstract]

  Negative skin friction (NSF) is a common problem for a pile foundation in soft soil arises when soil settles more than the pile. Negative skin friction induces an additional compressive axial force (Drag load) and an ...
• Assessment of traditional water yield forecasting methods based on selected two dry zone basins in Sri Lanka 

  Madusanka, WDP; Rajapakse, RLHL [Conference-Abstract]

  The majority of dry zone basins are still ungauged in Sri Lanka, and this has led to uncertainties in the planning and development of water management infrastructure. The Irrigation Guideline of Sri Lanka (IGM) has been ...
• Design-informed structural optimisation 

  Amarasinghe, IT; Herath, HMST; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Conference-Abstract]

  Structural optimisation has become an important tool in the field of Civil Engineering, but there is limited research done on structural optimisation of specific structures and components, especially for large construction ...
• Study of the influence of construction sequence on slope rectification projects 

  Kulathilaka, SAS; Vimukthi, HPJ [Conference-Abstract]

  Rain–induced slope failures in residual soil slopes are a common geotechnical hazard in most tropical countries like Sri Lanka. To reduce the risk of failure in slopes with low safety margins, or to rectify the slopes ...
• Homogenisation of ultra-thin woven fibre composite structures under high curvatures 

  Weerasinghe, WUD; Herath, HMST; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Conference-Abstract]

  Utilising fibre-based textile structure as the composite reinforcement results in making composite more tailorable and effective for applications where various types of loads are anticipated to be supported by the ...
• Utilisation of rice husk ash for soil stabilisation 

  Ranathunga, RJKPN; Sampath, KHSM [Conference-Abstract]

  Rice husk ash (RHA) is one attractive additive that can be used for the enhancement of engineering properties of problematic soils as a full/partial replacement of cement/lime. The present study reviews the production ...
• Study on climate elasticity of runoff in Kalu and Kelani river basins in the wet zone of Sri Lanka 

  Wijekoon, WMRTY; Rajapakse, RLHL [Conference-Abstract]

  It is crucial to assess the impacts due to climate change on the hydrological cycle for the characterization of basin hydrology and water resource management. Climate elasticity can be used as an indicator to quantify ...
• Analysis of optimal expansion level of a single runway airport 

  Siriwardena, KDSV; Perera, HLK [Conference-Abstract]

  Air travel is rapidly increasing all over the world and airport capacities are crucial when serving this growing demand. When it comes to airport capacities, whether it is passenger or freight, runway capacity is the key ...
• Establishment of threshold rainfall intensities for critical slopes in Sri Lanka 

  Panagoda, VR; Panagoda, SAS [Conference-Abstract]

  All the landslides in Sri Lanka are triggered by excessive rainfall. Sloping grounds in Sri Lanka are formed of; residual soils, rocks at different levels of weathering and colluvial soils. During periods of dry weather, ...
• Development of an overall construction productivity assessment framework and an improvement model 

  Premakumara, UAK; Siriwardana, CSA [Conference-Abstract]

  The construction sector is one of the most vital industries in a nation as it directly assesses the populace's necessities. Globally, the construction industry is among the top five trades, contributing significantly to ...
• Modelling the spalling behaviour of concrete in fire 

  De Zoysa, RN; Dias, WPS; Weerasinghe, TGPL [Conference-Abstract]

  Spalling of concrete is a common phenomenon in reinforced concrete structures subjected to fire. As there are both macroscopic and microscopic factors involved, studying the behaviour of concrete spalling in fire is ...
• Microplastics detected in marine waters using spectroscopic analytical techniques: a review on the current state of knowledge 

  Jayawardhana, H; Jayawardhana, WB [Conference-Abstract]

  Microplastics (MPs) contamination in marine waters has recently become a serious environmental concern. Hence, the identification of various types of MPs in marine waters is essential to control the MPs contamination in ...
• Service life prediction under chloride-induced corrosion based on rapid chloride penetration test 

  Karunaratne, PT; Weerasinghe, TGPL; Nanayakkara, SMA [Conference-Abstract]

  Concrete is a highly heterogeneous composite material that is widely used in the construction industry. At present with the development of new constituent materials, the durability of concrete is the key factor in the ...
• Applicability of 2d finite element analysis in modelling the behaviour of axially loaded cast in-situ bored piles socketed into bedrock 

  Karunaratne, PHHR; de Silva, LIN [Conference-Abstract]

  Accurate prediction of the bearing resistance of piles which is a combination of shaft and end resistance is important in the pile design process since if not, it will cause for an uneconomical and unsafe design. As an ...
