  • Behaviour of Sri Lankan peaty soils under surcharging and vacuum loading 
    Thavakumar, T [Thesis-Abstract]
    The composition of natural deposits of peaty soil may vary considerably among different sites, as do their engineering properties. Peaty soils have distinctive properties of low shear strength, high compressibility, high ...
  • Capacity estimation of piles using dynamic methods 
    Jayaweera, MSR [Thesis-Abstract]
    The foundation is the most important part of any type of structure. Pile foundations are used to transfer very high loads from supper structure to the ground. Therefore, design and construction of piles must be carried out ...
  • Extrapolation of plate load test results to foundations on sand 
    Priyantha, S.M. [Thesis-Abstract]
    Estimation of the settlement of shallow foundations in sand is generally carried out using the settlement estimation equations, empirical correlations based on insitu tests or by extrapolation of plate load test results. ...
