  • 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 ...
  • Optimized roof top tower design 
    Gunathilaka, AMLN [Thesis-Abstract]
    Errection of Telecommunication towers has become one of the key elements in any network expansion project in telecommunication industry at present days. Roof top towers play a dominant role in this context especially in ...
  • Optimum blast proof design of perimeter walls 
    Dikkowita, DKAA [Thesis-Abstract]
    The use of vehicle bombs to attack city centers has been a feature of campaigns by terrorist organizations around the world. A bomb explosion within or immediately nearby a building can cause catastrophic damages on the ...
  • Optimum design of plate girders 
    Weeratunga, AN [Thesis-Abstract]
    Steel plate girders are generally used to span long distances and support heavy loads They consist of top and bottom flanges connected to a vertical web. The flanges are connected to the web by fillet welds. I’ late girders ...
  • Optimum design of steel open web girders 
    Alahakoon, CDW [Thesis-Abstract]
    Girders are used to support building floors, roofs, and bridges or as members of towers, cranes. When a girder is built with top and bottom members connected with web members it is called an open web girder. (Ref Fig 1) ...
  • Optimum design of steel portal frame structures 
    Perera, KLPD [Thesis-Abstract]
    With the rapid development in industrial sector in Sri Lanka, there is a high demand for clear span buildings to cater for the factories with advance technology production lines as well as for the warehouses. Structural ...
  • Production of self compacting concrete using rice husk ash 
    Jeevasangar, S [Thesis-Abstract]
    Self compacting concrete flows into formwork and around obstructions under its own weight to fill it completely and self compact (without any need for vibration), without any segregation and blocking. The elimination of ...
  • Progressive collapse assessment of reinforced concrete framed buildings structures 
    Sammandapperuma, SMALK [Thesis-Abstract]
    A structure is subjected to progressive collapse when a primary structural element fails, resulting in failure of adjoining structural elements which, in their turn, cause further structural failure leading eventually to ...
  • Rainwater harvesting potential of built enviornments with disaster resistant features 
    Kapuruge, AK [Thesis-Abstract]
    Large scale and medium scale housing projects are actively promoted by investors in many part of Sri Lanka due to the high demand for good quality housing in well planned neighbourhoods. These housing projects will be ...
  • Rehabilitation of steel bridges through prestressing 
    Chandrasiri, BVDN [Thesis-Abstract]
    Throughout the world, bridges are being newly built, repaired, strengthened, replaced to provide essential infrastructure facilities for the Development. Sri Lanka is no exception. The cost of bridging has become a heavy ...
  • The response of conventional structures in Sri Lanka for earthquake 
    Sudesan, N [Thesis-Abstract]
    Ground water reservoirs are commonly used in this country for storing 200m3 to 2000m3 water capacities when the area needed water supply having an elevated area (which elevation is sufficient for the head required) and ...
  • The response of existing conical water towers in Sri Lanka to earthquake 
    Chandana, DPM [Thesis-Abstract]
    The shaft support of elevated conical tanks should have adequate strength to resist axial loads, and moment and shear forces due to lateral loads. These forces depend on the total weight of the structure which varies with ...
