Impact of documented procedures on project management maturity

Karunaratne, CD [Thesis-Abstract]

Construction contracts are essentially carried out as projects. In project situation, improvement of work practices can take place in two ways: within a project and from one project to another. As repetitive work is very ...
Modelling of shear bond behaviour of composite sections with axial loads

De Silva, PSS [Thesis-Abstract]

In this study, the shear bond behavior of steel and concrete composite beams under axial effects has been investigated using the finite element technique. A comprehensive review of various existing theories and finite ...
Peaty clay improvement with prefabricated vertical drains

Kugan, R [Thesis-Abstract]

Peaty clay obtained from the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway route was tested in the laboratory for its consolidation characteristics. The main objective was to quantify the improvement in peaty clay by the use of pre-fabricated ...
Design of cost effective composite reinforced brick work-ferro cement water tanks

Ranawaka, RATN [Thesis-Abstract]

In Sri Lanka, the most of the farmers are in dry rural areas and due to lack of water they can't cultivate in an effective manner. Therefore, there is a great need of designing and constructing of water tanks for rainwater ...
Application of unsaturated shear strength properties in slope stability analysis

Rathnasiri, RM [Thesis-Abstract]

Unsaturated soil mechanics is becoming increasingly popular in the world of Geotechnical Engineering due to the additional shear strength that unsaturated soils possess compared to saturated soils and specific problems ...
Tall building case base

Dharmawardana, TGDT [Thesis-Abstract]

A High Rise Building project is a collective output of a number of professionals, nonprofessionals, and skilled and non-skilled labour. In this regard the structural engineer has to playa major role. The structural engineer ...
The study of the feasibility of water transportation in Colombo metropolitan region

De Silva, GLDI [Thesis-Abstract]

The rich history of water- based transportation that existed in the past in the country has diminished over the years. The waterways that were used mainly for freight transportation are neglected and under utilized. Thus ...
Regulation of water in the Mahaweli project systems

Peiris, RTC [Thesis-Abstract]

Regulation of water resources systems has become increasingly complex during the recent decades and there is evidence that the process will become more so in future. In the Mahaweli Project Systems, especially in a country ...
Determination of safety performance function for pedestrians and cyclists

Siriwardhana, PA [Thesis-Abstract]

A road traffic accident is an accident occurring or originating on the street open to public traffic, resulting in one or more persons being injured or killed and involving at least one moving vehicle. Out of these road ...
Determination of definitions for accident black spots in Sri Lanka

De Silva, GP [Thesis-Abstract]

Ever increasing road traffic accidents and traffic flow is a heavy burden to the developing country like Sri Lanka. The rate of increase in road accidents is 7% per year in Sri Lanka. Increasing in vehicle population is ...
Development of nominal mixes suitable for small construction sites in Sri Lanka

Sugathadasa, PTRS [Thesis-Full-text]

Both strength and durability of concrete are now considered as significant issues for concrete structures. In BS 8110: Part 1: 1985, the improved durability of concrete is achieved by using mixes with higher strength such ...
Effects of eccentric cores on behaviour of tall buildings

Fernando, TMD [Thesis-Abstract]

The latest advances of concrete technology, efficient structural forms as well as construction techniques make the new trends in the construction of tall buildings in commercial city centres of the developing countries. ...
Thermally comfortable passive houses for tropical uplands of Sri Lanka

Priyanvada, AKM [Thesis-Abstract]

The main aim of this project is to determine the ways and means possible to create a thermally comfortable environment in the house located in tropical uplands with the use of passive elements. Initially, a broad literature ...
Effects of axial shortening of columns in tall buildings

Jayasena, WMVPK [Thesis-Abstract]

Even today, only a very few number of tall buildings are available in Sri Lanka, compared to other countries in the world. However, with the increase in population and due to the limited space availability the latest trend ...
Assessment of slope stability and stabilization techniques through probabilistic approach

Mettananda, DCA [Thesis-Abstract]

Uncertainty and randomness of data is a major Issue associated in geotechnical engineering. It is therefore desirable. to use methods and concepts in engineering planning and design that can facilitate the evaluation and ...
Analysis and development of high rate composting system using municipal solid waste in Sri Lanka

Manipura, WMJASB [Thesis-Full-text]

Municipal solid waste has become a major problem in every country in terms of public health and environmental damage. As a developing country, Sri Lanka too faces the same challenge not only by public health and environmental ...
Development of an expert system for better management of solid waste composting by pradeshiya sabhas in Sri Lanka

Jayawardhana, HMLC [Thesis-Abstract]

The increasing population and the ever-changing life style of the public have begun to add to the growing solid waste problem in Sri Lanka. As a solution to the growing solid waste management problem in Sri Lanka, Local ...
Prediction of dissolved oxygen in harbours using artificial neural networks: an application to the port of Colombo

Dayanthi, WKCN [Thesis-Abstract]

Maintenance of high dissolved oxygen (DO) level in harbours is highly important as it could give rise to catastrophic effects if it is depleted affecting day- to- day port functions such as dredging activities and other ...
Low cost underground water tanks

Nanayakkara, VASP [Thesis-Abstract]

There is a great need to construct low cost underground water tanks in the dry zone of Sri Lanka to enable rain water harvesting .A research is conducted to introduce the said tanks with the use of low cost materials. ...
On the application of data assimilation in regional coastal models

Torre, RC [Thesis-Abstract]

Data assimilation is a methodology which can optimise the extraction of reliable information from observations and combine it with, or assimilate it in, numerical models. The development of both the observation techniques ...
