Study on optimization of rectangular type ground reservoirs

Pathiranage, UC [Thesis-Abstract]

At present, there is very few published literature for optimizing of rectangular type ground reservoirs. National Water Supply & Drainage Board (NWSDB) is the prime national organization responsible for providing safe ...
Design methods for apartment buildings with thin concrete shear walls

Ratnayake, KC [Thesis-Abstract]

Economizing the construction cost is a strict demand of the current economic environment. Many structural engineers, practicing and academics; are actively involved in finding a favourable solution for this problem through ...
Effectiveness of using concrete wall slab construction in apartment buildings

Rifaadh, MM [Thesis-Abstract]

Many high rise apartment buildings are coming up all over the world mainly due to the limited amount of land available in the urban areas and the population move towards cities due to their jobs and many other comforts. ...
Seismic analysis and design of Polwathumodara highway bridge in southern transport development project

Withanage, S [Thesis-Abstract]

The natural phenomena 'earthquakes' can not be prevented but the damage caused by earthquakes can be minimised mainly by having structures to resist earthquakes. The seismic performance of bridge is important as bridges ...
Design of foundation for different types of soils using beam on elastic foundation methods

Rajamanthri, RAH [Thesis-Abstract]

A building is generally composed of a superstructure above the ground and a substructure which forms the foundation below ground level. The foundations transfer and spread the loads from a structure's columns and walls in ...
Evaluation of thermal stresses in mass concrete

Kumara, WSU [Thesis-Abstract]

Development of stresses due to thermal effect with different type of restraints conditions is a major problem for mass concrete structures. This report presents two methods, which can be used for thermal stress analysis ...
Survey on precast concrete industry in Sri Lanka

Weerasri, KRRD [Thesis-Abstract]

Concrete is the widely used construction material and there are two methods for casting of concrete, viz., insitu cast and precast concrete. The main objectives of this research were investigation of the present situation ...
The Effect of bed friction on the performance of fixed bed tidal models of estuaries & model testing of a strom-water overflow channel

Senarath, DCH

This report describes an investigation that was conducted on a fixed bed hydraulic model of the Solway Firth. The aim of the investigation was to study the manner in which the roughness of the bed of model influences the ...
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 ...
Improvement of abrasion resistance of concrete floors

Thilakarathne, GM [Thesis-Abstract]

In the development process reinforced concrete played an important role as a very satisfactory construction material because of durability. An application of reinforced concrete has reached a very advanced stage both in ...
Analysis of elevated water retaining structures using finite element method

Rupasinghe, SKLS [Thesis-Abstract]

In water supply schemes, concrete structures are used to store the required quantity of water for distribution for an area. In the case of design of these structures, a precise and accurate analysis is considered as a ...
Study of water towers

Sivakumar, J [Thesis-Abstract]

At present, there is little published literature for estimating the requirements of material, and cost of construction of elevated water tanks. The author has carried out a detailed analysis of costs and the requirements ...
Field measurements of early age temperature rise and seasonal temperature variation in concrete

Perera, SKH [Thesis-Abstract]

BS8007 provides a method to prevent early thermal cracking in concrete water retaining structures based on the temperature fall between hydration peak and ambient temperature (T 1) and the temperature variation due to ...
Experimental investigation on temperature rise due to heat of hydration

Wannigama, WRK [Thesis-Abstract]

Early thermal cracking in concrete water retaining structures mainly depends on temperature fall between hydration peak and ambient temperature (Tr). Since values of Ti given in BS 8007,which is the code of Practice used ...
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 ...
Use of grade 25 concrete in design of water retaining structures based on BS 8007 recommendations

Liyanage, WW [Thesis-Abstract]

The grade of concrete is very important for strength and durability of reinforced concrete structures. Although strength and durability of concrete are inter-related, it is not always true that high strength concrete has ...
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) ...
A study of built - up timber structural elements

Mohanathevan, S [Thesis-Abstract]

Code on timber design CBS 5268 Part 2, 1991) gives no provisions for the design of layered braced and box timber columns except spaced timber columns. Very little information is available about these in the literature on ...
Development of rule based expert system for design guidelines of domestic buildings

Premasiri, KW [Thesis-Abstract]

Use of expert systems for Engineering applications is still in very primitive stages in Sri Lanka. However it is being used satisfactorily in many developed countries over several areas of the Engineering applications. In ...
Development of cost effective swimming pools for Sri Lanka

Wijesinghe, EM [Thesis-Abstract]

Swimming is an ideal recreational activity in Sri Lanka since it is a tropical country. The island is blessed with beautiful sea beaches right round. However due to the financial limitations and other restrictions, majority ...
