    Sri Lanka has a free of charge health care system heavily subsidized by the government. The national health system of Sri Lanka is guided by the concept ofthe welfare state. The major armed conflict, which started in 1983 ...
  • Investigation on performance of heavily cracked concrete beam strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (cfrp) sheets 
    Dharmaratne, PD [Thesis-Full-text]
    Repair and retrofit of existing structures especially buildings, bridges, water tanks etc., have been amongst the most significant challenges in Civil Engineering. In the past construction was evolved from thousands of ...
  • Non destructive testing of concrete 
    Warusavitarana, LI [Thesis-Abstract]
    Assessment of in-situ concrete, a major building material in construction has been of considerable interest in Construction Industry, mainly for quality control as well as to find in-situ strength. The measurement of ...
  • Optimization of circular ground reservoirs 
    Wickramasinghe, NRS [Thesis-Abstract]
    Ground reservoirs of various types are often used as water storage reservoirs in major water supply schemes. Mainly there are two types of ground reservoirs viz. circular and rectangular. Circular type ground reservoirs ...
  • Optimization of prestressed concrete railway sleepers 
    Lakmali, HDD [Thesis-Abstract]
    In Sri Lanka cheapest and safest mode of transportation is railways. It has higher load carrying capacities. The load applied by trains is transferred to the ground through rails supported on railway sleepers. Basically ...
  • Optimization of random rubble masonry retaining wall design 
    Santhajeewa, AN [Thesis-Full-text]
    The conventional earth retaining structures built using Random Rubble Masonry (RRM) are designed as gravity retaining structures where weight of the structure is used for its stability. In Sri Lanka, RRM retaining walls ...
  • Optimization of spillway design using finite element methods 
    Ariyarathne, NGR [Thesis-Abstract]
    Spillway is a critical component in a storage reservoir or in a diversion dam. Many failures of dams have been caused by improperly designed spillways or by spillways of insufficient capacity. There have been numerous ...
