A sub-structure condensation technique in finite element analysis for the optimal use of computer memory

Fonseka, MCM [Article-Abstract]

Application of the finite element method in structural analysis frequently involves manipulation of a large amount of data which is obviously a heavy burden on the computer. ‘Condensation’ is a popular technique adopted ...
Concrete in the marine environment: a review with emphasis on tropical coastal applications

Dias, WPS [Article-Abstract]

The effect of the marine environment on concrete depends on the climate and the zone of exposure. Degradation of concrete takes place due to a-self reinforcing permeation-chemical attack-cracking-permeation cycle.-Chemical ...
Creep response of laterally loaded piles in ice and permafrost

Puswewala, UGA; Rajapakse, RKND; Domaschuk, L; Shields, DH [Article-Full-text]

A computationally efficient pile element and a time-incremental finite element code are developed to model laterally loaded piles in ice/permafrost, by modelling the pile as a beam supported on a spring-dashpot system. A ...
Durability indicators of OPC concretes subject to wick action

Dias, WPS [Article-Full-text]

Durability indicators for six OPC concrete mixes were obtained from wick action testing on concrete cylinders placed in water and a sodium chloride solution of concentration similar to sea water. Although 49 weeks of ...
Elicitation of subjective probabilities for economic risk analysis: an investigation

Ranasinghe, M.; Russell, AD [Article-Full-text]

This paper investigates three major issues regarding the elicitation of expert knowledge for economic risk analysis: (1) recognition of some of the implicit assumptions and beliefs; (2) development of an approach to elicit ...
Flow of estimating data in Sri Lankan building contractor organizations

Kodikara, GW; McCaffer, R [Article-Full-text]

When an estimator prices a bill of quantities, s/he collects, generates and assembles data (estimating data) for the purpose of establishing the cost of constructing the project. The data generated could be used by the ...
Influence of surface Finish on sorptivity on concrete

McCarter, WJ [Article-Full-text]

Long-term durability of highway structures is, and will for the forseeable future, be a major problem facing engineers. Movement of deleterious ionic species in solution through the cover region and the resulting corrosion ...
The use of Bills of Quantities in building contractor organizations

Kodikara, GW; Thorpe, A; McCaffer, R [Article-Full-text]

The prime purpose of the Bill of Quantities (BQ) is to enable all contractors tendering for a contract to price on exactly the same information. Subsequent to this, it is widely used for post-tender work such as: material ...
