  • Strength assessment of steel towers 
    Baskaran, K; Jeneevan, G; Jayasinghe, JPLM; Hettiarachchi, HHANC [Conference-Full-text]
    In the recent Abstract: past, considerable number of tower failures happened in telecommunication sector and power transmission sector in Sri Lanka. However, no lessons were learnt and there is still a vacuum in strength ...
  • Strength enhancement in concrete confined by spirals 
    Kaneswaran, U; Reginthan, J; Perera, HMP; Baskaran, K [Conference-Full-text]
    The strength and ductility of the concrete Abstract: can be enhanced by confinement.lt can be achieved in many ways. Using spirals is one of the ways to enhance the strength by confinement. The confinement effect in ...
  • Study of ground vibration due to rock blasting of metal quarry: a case study 
    Madanayaka, TA; de Silva, LIN; Dharmarathne, PGR [Conference-Full-text]
    This study was carried out to compare vertical and horizontal bench blast(s) at a granitic gneiss rock quarry located in Colombo, Sri Lanka and predict the resulting peak particle velocities of ground vibration levels. ...
  • Study on palmyrah as a reinforcement material 
    Baskaran, K; Mallikarachchi, HE; Jayasekara, MJPLM; Madushanka, GAT [Conference-Full-text]
    Most developing countries Abstract: are confronted with acute housing shortage due to their over dependence on expensive, imported building materials. So there is an intense search for innovation of locally available, ...
  • Study on rebound values on inclined planes 
    Baskaran, K; Liyanage, KLDO; Munasinghe, NT; Gunawardana, WWCJ [Conference-Full-text]
