3D full field deformation measurement using digital image correlation

Lowhikan, SS; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Conference-Abstract]

3D deformation and strain are crucial parameters in engineering design and construction. Precise 3D full-field measurement is useful in identifying the response of the structure under a given loading condition. Digital ...
Adoption of precast hollow core panels for external walls of multi-storey buildings

Subakaran, R; Jayasinghe, MTR; Herath, HMST [Conference-Abstract]

Precast hollow core wall panels have gained popularity for their efficient use as load-bearing and non-load-bearing wall elements. ICC ACOTEC hollow core wall panels are manufactured locally and intended to be used as ...
Advanced structural health monitoring system for bridges in Sri Lanka

Rajapaksha, D; Lewangamage, CS; Vishnu, P [Conference-Abstract]

Bridges are a critical component of the transportation infrastructure system because a failure in a particular bridge may affect a wide range of areas adversely. Also, the intensity and frequency of natural shocks and ...
Analysis of multi-day extreme rainfall events in Kelani River basin

Chathuranga, GK; Fernando, WCDK; De Silva, PKC [Conference-Abstract]

Floods, one of the major disasters in Sri Lanka occur not only due to a single daily rainfall but due to multiday rainfall events. Thus, to safeguard the properties, analysis of the multiday rainfall events is more ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Applicability of calcium carbide residue for soil stabilization: a systematic review and a meta-analysis

Sandamali, DMTU; Sampath, KHSM [Conference-Abstract]

The use of Calcium Carbide Residue (CCR) which is a calcium-rich material as a soil stabilizer is often discussed as a solution to reduce negative environmental impacts and costs involved with soil stabilization with ...
Applicability of standard density in quality control and quality acceptance of asphalt surfacing

Rathnasiri, KAPS; Mamperachchi, WK [Conference-Abstract]

Proper compaction plays a vital role in maintaining the quality of asphalt pavement works. As a quality control (QC) and quality acceptance (QA) parameter, the degree of compaction expressed as a percentage ratio between ...
An application of a cell transmission model using crowdsourced data for expressway monitoring

Wijepala, WMRV; De Silva, D [Conference-Abstract]

With the increasing traffic congestion in alternative roads, the demand for expressways is increasing rapidly in Sri Lanka. With this increase in demand, traffic management systems are needed for expressways. Deviating ...
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 ...
Characterising the self-opening behaviour of single creased Kapton polyimide films

Navaratnarajah, S; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Conference-Abstract]

Use of thin folded membranes for deployable structures is becoming increasingly popular especially in aerospace applications such as a deployable solar arrays, sun shields, and solar sails. The folding and compaction ...
Characteristic analysis of embedded wave barrier material beside railway tracks

Abiram, P; Hidallana-Gamage, HD [Conference-Abstract]

Rail transport is one of the most effective modes of transporting goods and people among various access points. It has several benefits compared to some of the other modes of transport, such as safety, cost effectiveness, ...
Civil Engineering Research Symposium 2021 (Pre Text)

Unknown author [Conference-Full-text]
Combining water and environmental footprint methods for life cycle assessment of run of the river type mini/micro hydropower generation

Pihillanda, VSB; Rajapakse, RLHL [Conference-Abstract]

Hydropower is popular as one of the most environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. However, with the expansion of knowledge about footprint methods, it has been identified that there are considerable carbon, ...
Composite effects of pozzolans in producing high strength recycled aggregate concrete

Fernando, AM; Gamage, JCPH [Conference-Abstract]

Over the years, the unceasing growth and development in the construction industry has resulted in both positives and negatives. The extensive use and disposal of many of the materials used in construction have resulted ...
Compressibility characteristics of unsaturated soil

Krichikeshan, I; Kulathilaka, SAS [Conference-Abstract]

Conventional Terzaghi's consolidation theory is developed for saturated soil. However, in practice the concept is used with unsaturated soils as well. The behaviour of unsaturated soils is quite different due to the ...
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 ...
Design optimisation of a steel bridge bracket

Liyanagunawardhana, SK; Herath, HMST [Conference-Abstract]

Steel brackets have a renowned potential of being used in bridge constructions as a load-bearing element. Due to the higher consumption of steel in bridge constructions, the emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas is increased ...
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 ...
