Applications of molecular dynamics in asphalt pavement mixture studies

Wan, H; Chu, L; Fwa, TF [Conference-Full-text]

The rapid development of high-performance computing facilities and techniques in recent years has made molecular dynamics (MD) a feasible tool for studying the behaviors of asphalt mixtures under various operating ...
comparative study on cure, mechanical and dynamic-mechanical properties of natural rubber compounds formulated with dixp, tbztd, zbec and tbbs accelerators

Samarasinghe, H; Walpalage, S; Edirisinghe, D; Egodage, S [Conference-Full-text]

Today, it is obligatory to replace nitrosamine releasing traditional accelerators owing to the various health, safety and environment regulations and surviving with safe alternative is a one of the key challenges in the ...
A comparative study on the mechanical properties of concrete by substituting cement with sugarcane bagasse ash

Sankeeth, S; Kumara, BS; Damruwan, HGH; Herath, HMST; Lewangamage, CS; Koswattage, KR [Conference-Full-text]

This research study compares the mechanical properties of concrete by substituting Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) at various weight ratios for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Portland Composite Cement (PCC). The study ...
Development of a computer software for polymer composite mechanical properties analysis

Mudalige, SP; Sanjeewa, PVGI; Weragoda, VSC [Conference-Abstract]

This research investigates the development of a software application designed for the analysis of polymer composites and the estimation of their mechanical properties, specifically the elastic modulus and tensile strength. ...
Evaluation of existing timber supports in Bogala mine and proposals for alternatives

Rathnapala, AVAOC; Perera, TSLC; Hetttiarachchi, DSW; Gangatheepan, B; Chaminda, SP; Daharmaratne, PGR; Senanayaka, IP [Conference-Full-text]

Rock support is an important aspect in underground mining to stabilize the ground rock to provide a safe environment. As it directly influences the safety, it is very important to evaluate the supporting system. As cost ...
Evaluation of use of Tea waste Bio-Char (TBC) as alternative filler for Natural Rubber (NR)

Iresha, H; Egodage, SM; Weerakoon, CS; Muthukumarana, PU; Hewamallikage, YR [Conference-Abstract]

Tea waste generated in tea factories, which is the portion that cannot be marketed, is an abundant natural waste in Sri Lanka. Some of the tea manufacturers have converted this bulk waste into its bio-char by using pyrolysis ...
Mechanical behaviour of Cu-Zr binary metallic glasses: a molecular dynamic simulation study

Gamage, NH; Madhushan, PAC; Sitinamaluwa, HS [Conference-Abstract]

Metallic glasses (amorphous alloys) have gained increased attention in recent times due to their unique combination of mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, fatigue and wear resistance together with higher ...
Modelling of cfrp strengthened concrete beam to quantify the effects of bond parameters in flexure

Arunothayan, R; Gamage, JCPH [Conference-Abstract]

Application of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) materials is an emerging technique for retrofitting concrete structures. Performance of composites mainly depends on the adhesive component which uses to create the ...
Performance of natural polymers for stabilizing earth blocks

Udawattha, C; de Silva, DE; Galkanda, H; Halwatura, R [Article-Full-text]

Natural polymers have been tested for soil stabilization since prehistoric age. This study evaluated the behavior of seven natural polymers as earth stabilizer. Seven polymers were selected from Sri Lankan vernacular polymer ...
Property enhancement of natural rubber by blending with rice husk ash and PET powder

Ekanayake, EMHL; Hewa, HKLR; Premachandra, BAJK [Conference-Extended-Abstract]

Rubber industry is a well-established industry with a growing demand in modern world. Rice husk ash and PET (Poly Ethylene Terephthalate) powders are gaining interest as fillers in rubber compounding. RHA filler results ...
Selection of high-quality aggregates for high-end civil engineering projects such as airport runways

Deelaka, MDN; Ridmika, AMPS; Subodha, GMP; Samaradivakara, GVI; Abeysinghe, AMKB [Conference-Full-text]

In civil engineering, aggregates normally comprise over 70% by volume in both concrete and asphalt mixes, so that the properties of aggregates mostly represent the overall properties of the mixture. Among these properties, ...
Steel fiber reinforced concrete : a review

Behbahani, Hp; Nematollahi, B; Farasatpour, M [Conference-Full-text]

Concrete is one of the world most widely used construction material. However, since the early 1800’s, it has been known that concrete is weak in tension. Weak tensile strength combined with brittle behavior result in sudden ...
Synthesis of Ultra-High Performance Cementitious Composite incorporating Carbon Nanotubes

Lim, JLG; Raman, SN; Hamid, R; Zain, MFM; Lai, FC [Conference-Full-text]

Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a type of special concrete developed to meet the demand for niche applications in the industry, where this type of concrete comes with enhanced durability and superior mechanical ...
Utilisation of industrial waste; fly ash/bottom ash to hasten the intrinsic biofouling properties in cement mortar: strength properties

Wijesinghe, MPPCD; Halwatura, RU [Conference-Abstract]

In recent years, the incorporation of industrial waste materials into sustainable construction practices has emerged as a significant area of interest. This research aims to explore the application of fly ash and bottom ...
