Economic design of reinforced concrete staircases for Two-storeyed houses

Balachandran, K

In the past, two-storeyed houses were predominantly used by affluent people to display their social status with spacious and numerous activity spaces, expensive finishes, and lavish fittings. Due to scarcity of land and ...
Economical falsework solutions for concrete arch bridges

Jayakody, JAVS [Thesis-Abstract]

The arch bridge is very strong. It looks like half a circle. Arch bridges used to be made of stone. The problem was that until the last block was in place, these bridges were unstable and could fall down. Construction field ...
Economics of yield line analysis in design of concrete slabs

Pathiraja, DC [Thesis-Abstract]

Most practical structures are of three-dimensional nature, such as buildings, bridges, towers and tanks. These structures often require plate elements to do their intended function, or to make them stable. For reinforced ...
Efectiveness of software applications in construction project management

Manorathna, GL [Thesis-Full-text]

Today, construction industry is becoming complex due to rapid improvement in design and technology. Completing construction project without time and cost overrun is a great challenge. In Sri Lankan condition, the need for ...
The Effect of antecedent moisture condition on HEC-HMS model performance : a case study in Kelani river basin, Sri Lanka

Dorji, KY [Thesis-Full-text]

Among all observed natural hazards, water-related disasters are the most frequent and they pose major threats to people and while hindering socio-economic development. Flood forecasting is one the most challenging and ...
Effect of antimicrobial discharges into wastewater treatment plants in the pharmaceutical industry

Gunasekera, MY [Thesis-Abstract]

Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is expected to generate effluents having a wide variety of antimicrobial substances. The biological wastewater treatment processes should thus be capable of handling effluents, containing ...
Effect of bentonite and polymer drilling fluids on skin friction of bored piles

Hemadasa MBC [Thesis-Abstract]

Skin friction is a major component in any pile foundation’s load bearing capacity. In terms of a floating pile, almost entire bearing capacity depends on the skin friction. Skin friction may depend on the soil type and ...
Effect of climatic change on water- energy - food nexus in Mahaweli river basin and a prediction model to mitigate negative impacts

Ponnamperuma PADNT [Thesis-Abstract]

Mahaweli river is the longest river in Sri Lanka which flows through all the climatological regions with vast diversities in precipitations, environmental conditions, water usages, and livelihoods. The hydrology of the ...
Effect of compaction and moisture content on gas transport and water retention in landfill cover soil : Maharagama landfill as a case study

Ranasinghe, RHK [Thesis-Abstract]

In Sri Lanka, Engineered landfills are not being used and only very few controlled landfills are available. The usual procedure is to cover the waste with a good cover soil without providing gas venting facilities. This ...
Effect of end anchorage on CFRP strengthened concrete beams

Wijerathna, DMN [Thesis-Abstract]

Reinforced concrete structures are often being subjected to modifications and improvements during their service life. The main causes for improvements are design errors, changes in use, degradation due to corrosion of ...
Effect of fine percentage on properties of subbase material

Inan, III [Thesis-Abstract]

With the huge infrastructure development in Sri Lanka, road construction plays a vital role. Massive quantities of construction materials are required for these highway and expressway constructions. Finding Subbase material ...
The effect of firing temperature on micro-structural properties of non- expansive clays in development of effective internal curing concrete aggregate

Bandara MMHW [Thesis-Abstract]

Internal curing concrete provides number of advantages in the concrete construction industry. It provides adequate water to hydrate all the cement. Moreover, internal curing increases the durability, compressive strength ...
Effect of high strength concrete for bridge girders

Dissanayake, STB [Thesis-Abstract]

High strength concrete (HSC) has been widely applied worldwide in recent years due to its favorable strength and dense microstructure. HSC shows some characteristics and engineering properties different from those of ...
Effect of information systems in postwar construction

Senadeera, ASK [Thesis-Full-text]

Military Engineering was known to humankind from the Roman era and there after empires were created with ingenuity of military construction projects such as Great Wall of China and Castles in Europe. Reconstruction ...
Effect of mat thickness for the degree of compaction of asphalt pavements

Gunasekara KKSM [Thesis-Abstract]

Compaction of the hot mix asphalt (HMA) is very important process in the road construction. The ability of the load bearing is greatly dependent on the degree of compaction of the hot mix asphalt pavements (Finn, & Epps, ...
