  • Applications of high strength concrete in highrise buildings 
    Jayasinghe, MTR; Jayanandana, ADC; Alwis, KGNC [Conference-Full-text]
    High strength concrete can be used in high-rise buildings to minimise the size of columns, especially in the lower floors. High strength concrete has the added advantage of a higher elastic modulus that can reduce the ...
  • Design of high strength concrete mixes 
    Jayanandana, ADC; Jayasinghe, MTR; Hewagama, CI [Conference-Full-text]
    High strength concrete offers many advantages in the construction of high-rise buildings and bridges. In many countries, concrete strengths higher than 40 MPa are widely produced on commercial basis using normal aggregates ...
  • Earthquake design techniques for Sri Lanka 
    Jayasinghe, MTR; Kulatilake, SAS; Alwis, KGNC; Angammana, RB; Perera, GDTS [Conference-Full-text]
    Two major factors discourage the introduction of seismic resistant design to low seismic regions like Sri Lanka. They are the cost associated with improved seismic resistance and the misconception that the area concerned ...
  • Passive solar techniques for Sri Lanka 
    Jayasinghe, MTR; Sujeewa, LC; Fernando, KKJS; Wijayapriya, RA [Conference-Full-text]
    Passive solar architecture can be described as the utilisation of the energy of the sun together with the characteristics of the local climate to directly maintain thermally comfortable conditions in buildings while ...
  • Wind loads for high-rise buildings constructed in Sri Lanka 
    Jayasinghe, MTR; Jayathilake, SAVSW; Perera, KAAA; Wickramasinghe, P [Conference-Full-text]
    In the design of high-rise buildings, it is of paramount importance to control the wind induced accelerations of the buildings to acceptable limits so that the majority of occupants will not feel the wind induced movements ...
