  • Flexural behaviour of reinforced rubberised concrete beam 
    Jayanath, APL; Gamage, JCPH; Chandrathilaka, ERK [Conference-Abstract]
    A considerable number of tires in worldwide, approach end of their service life each year, and a significant portion of these discarded tires are disposed to the environment by landfilling and tire burning without proper ...
  • Flexure behaviour of damaged reinforced rubberized concrete beams strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymers 
    Maleesha, RKS; Gamage, JCPH; Chandrathilaka, ERK [Conference-Abstract]
    Developing rubberised concrete (RuC) for structural applications is an excellent solution for the scarcity of natural aggregates and the discharge of rubber waste in bulk volumes into the natural environment. With the ...
  • Flight dynamics of a 'v' shape boomerang: effect of wind on boomerang trajectory 
    Rajathurai, R; Kumara, KJC; Baduge, S [Conference-Full-text]
    Boomerangs have captured attention because of the mechanical structure that realises such complex movements of the boomerang. The perfect prediction of the path leads to the application of boomerangs in the field. The ...
  • Flight search optimisation using in-memory data management 
    Dimithrie, PS; Dias, G [Conference-Full-text]
    In current travel planning systems, even for a relatively straightforward round-trip query, it is not uncommon to spend more than 30 seconds. If the results can be produced as quickly as possible it will resu in a ...
