Development of an improved empirical formula to predict the deflection of plates under blast loads

Rathnayaka, RMICB; Fernando, PLN

The world is moving forward with the advances in technology which has had both positive and negative impacts. One such negative impact has been the increment of terrorist attacks on structures around the world. Civil ...
A general numerical modelling approach for blast loads on a building

Shamiranga, KLL; Fernando, PLN [Conference-Abstract]

A blast load acting on a structure can be considered as an amalgamation of overpressure and impulse over an extremely short duration, which can cause catastrophic exterior and internal damage. Such blast loads can be ...
Nature-inspired solutions for enhanced impact resistance of structures

Sajana, HMT; Fernando, PLN [Conference-Abstract]

High-velocity impact loads pose significant challenges due to their potential to generate dynamic responses in structures, which can cause severe damage. Structural engineers face an evolving challenge in designing ...
Study on effectiveness of waterproofing in buildings during the design, construction, and maintenance phases of a structure

Priyashan, DMD; Fernando, PLN [Conference-Abstract]

Waterproofing is a critical aspect of building construction, ensuring longevity, durability, and structural integrity. There are several waterproofing methods used for buildings around the world. Among these, integral ...
