  • Comparison of different types of pedestrian paving materials 
    Galabada, GH; Karunathilaka, KMHC; Halwathura, RU [Conference-Abstract]
    The need for selecting correct material for the pedestrian paving is greater than ever before. Due to increasing number of pavements constructed in urban areas the climate conditions of cities are changing into unfriendly ...
  • Investigation of a possible natural or artificial barrier to reduce urban C02 concentration 
    Mirihagalla, MKDL; Halwathura, RU [Conference-Abstract]
    As the population and C02 level in urban areas are increasing day-by-day, attention should be given to identify sources, sinks and influence of CO? in urban areas. This research focuses on identifying a possible natural ...
  • Reuse of construction waste as coarse aggregate in concrete 
    Herath, HMUI; Nanayakkara, DN [Conference-Abstract]
    The recycling of construction waste as concrete aggregates is an important way to contribute to sustainable development. However, the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) instead of natural aggregate influences the ...
  • Shear strength characteristics of unsaturated residual soils 
    Ganeshalingam, C; Kulathilaka, SAS [Conference-Abstract]
    The tropical climate conditions cause the residual soils near ground water level to be in an unsaturated state generally. Matric suction enhance the shear strength of the soil. In tropical countries like Sri Lanka where ...
  • Use of paddy husk ash as a binder in improvement of soft peaty clay 
    Madhuransi, LWI; Kulathilaka, SAS [Conference-Abstract]
    Ground improvement in soft soils through pre-consolidation by preloading with or without vertical drains or vacuum consolidation has the main drawback of time consumption. Deep mixing with the cement is an alternative ...
