[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, ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Environmental exposure leads to the degradation of the adhesive bond between externally bonded Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and concrete in reinforced concrete (RC) structures strengthened with CFRP. Moisture ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Sandwich panels (modular panels) promote optimal solutions to some major issues prevailing in the construction industry such as increased energy consumption by building elements, excessive disposal of construction waste ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Silos are one of the most common containment structures used in industrial applications worldwide for the storage and handling of bulk granular materials such as grains, cement, coal, fertilizers, minerals, chemicals, ...
-
[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 ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]In Sri Lanka, pile with tie-beam is commonly used as the substructure in most of the expressway bridges. Even though pile with tie beam may seem to be cost effective, the reliability of the substructure in some soil ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]The maximum crack width of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures should be controlled for satisfying the serviceability and durability requirements of the civil engineering structures. Therefore, care must be taken at the ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Terrace houses are used in many countries as a solution for the scarcity of land due to the ability to complete houses with smaller footprint and hence generally tend to reduce the cost incurred. However, there are ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]This study is aimed to understand the wind effects on low-rise buildings due to the surrounding trees. Windstorms are responsible for most of the damage to low rise buildings from natural hazards, in many parts of the ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]This paper investigates the methods of improving the lateral stability of variable height truss type steel bridges that are used for pedestrian purposes in Sri Lanka. A bridge is a structure that provides passage without ...
-
[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 ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Water is considered the source of living for every creation, as it is a crucial element for healthy living. A Safe and adequate supply of potable water is one of the basic elements for the human to sustain a healthy life. ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]During concrete construction, there may be some defects formed due to carelessness of humans. The defects formed include honeycombs, those due to poor formwork installation, shrinkage cracks, segregation, and exposed ...
-
[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 ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Limited capacity in launch vehicles was overcome by the usage of deployable structures. They allow large structures to be packed into compact configurations. Woven fibre composite laminates eliminate the need of mechanical ...
-
[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 ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Concrete spalling is a major problem in reinforced concrete structures, especially in public buildings, which were constructed some time ago. In Sri Lanka, many public buildings such as schools and hospitals exhibit this ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]The concept of using cleaner production technologies has become prominent in the present context for achieving sustainability in construction. It has been proven that by incorporating agricultural waste as cement ...
-
[Conference-Abstract]Bottom ash is a common by-product of thermal power plants or boilers. Due to the depletion of natural sources of fine aggregates, there is a need to encourage the use of alternative materials. In this study, coal bottom ...
