The configuration of pedestrian bridges varies from project to project due to project requirements. However, no single structural form can be employed for every configuration of pedestrian bridge because different structural ...

The use of CFRP for strengthening and retrofitting concrete structures has become famous throughout the world in the past few decades due to its advantages over conventional materials. However, the main drawback to use ...

Sri Lanka is an island located on the Indo-Australian tectonic plate and the location of the country is far away from the plate boundary where inter-plate earthquakes are possible to occur. However, there are earthquake ...

Among the concrete strengthening applications, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) systems offer better mechanical properties than other alternatives, such as stronger tensile strength, stiffness, and durability. Most ...

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strengthening techniques have gained popularity compared to other retrofitting methods due to its superior performance. While ample research had been done regarding retrofitting of ...

The structural efficiency of tall buildings significantly relies on the lateral stiffness of building and its resistance capacity against lateral loads. However, when the structure becomes taller and slender, the building ...

Recently in Sri Lanka, design of the civil structures is adopted by Eurocodes superseded by the British code of practices. For reinforced concrete structures the Eurocode 2 will became of paramount importance to the ...

Strengthening of existing structures made out of concrete, all around the world is an increasing requirement due to many reasons like aging, insufficient maintenance, and the degradation due to environmental impact, as ...

few decades. Interaction of wind with buildings with complex geometry leads to a complex building-wind environment. However, all codes of practice and standards are only applicable for buildings with simple geometry and ...

One of the most common difficulties in the execution of concrete structures is cold joint because of delay in concrete casting due to several circumstances as well as improper casting sequence. The discontinuity in ...
