  • Rapidly deployable structures for the tourism industry in Sri Lanka 
    Mustapha, MSN; Lewangamage, CS; Thompson, LM [Conference-Full-text]
    This research involves the concept of creating rapidly deployable ecofriendly cabanas for the tourism industry in Sri Lanka. The cabanas are to be pre-fabricated; thus could be purchased off the shelf and assembled at ...
  • Study of torsional buckling behavior of carbon nanotubes using molecular dynamics simulations 
    Dodangoda, MT; Dilrukshi, KGS [Conference-Full-text]
    An accurate study of mechanical behavior of CNTs is vital to understand their response under mechanical loading in their applications. Much experimental and analytical work has been done to quantify the mechanical ...
  • Study on elastic modulous of carbon nanotubes using molecular dynamic simulations 
    Perera, LNPT; Dilrushi, KGS [Conference-Full-text]
    CNTs are cylindrical nanostructures having a range of potential applications in nanotechnology. Therefore, an accurate study of mechanical behavior of CNTs is vital. Elastic modulus is an important parameter which is ...
  • Study on waterproofing methods used for concrete slabs 
    Fonseka, R; Baskaran, K; Ekanayake, LL [Conference-Full-text]
    A building or a structure requires waterproofing, if the building materials are not watertight enough on their own. Therefore, waterproofing has become an essential component of a structure to protect its aesthetic ...
  • Traffic engineering solutions for minimizing delays and risks at roundabouts 
    Devasurendra, KW; Perera, L; Bandara, S [Conference-Full-text]
    Introduction of a roundabout is a proven method of minimizing delays and risks at an intersection simply due to the reduction in number of conflict points, implementation of give way rule, single directional circulation ...
  • Tsunami hazards: energy dissipation and impact mitigation using bio shields 
    Jayawardena, DMSS; Hewageegana, VH; Ratnasooriya, AHR [Conference-Full-text]
    Tsunamis can cause severe destruction in coastal areas. Though the tsunami hazard itself cannot be mitigated nor eliminated, the vulnerable element can be protected by a variety of mitigation measures. Bio shields, ...
  • Water treatment using sludge blanket clarifiers 
    Nithini, TAS; Rathnayake, N [Conference-Full-text]
    A sludge blanket clarifer is a treatment unit combining flocation and upward flow sedimentation, which is more efficient compared to the conventional sedimentation tank. It has the abiltiy to treat the water at a faster ...
