Feasibility of using presently used pre-cast sections for M-beam type bridges

Liyanage, S [Thesis-Abstract]

For the rapid economic development of Sri Lanka, the upgrading of transportation facilities is one of the main criteria to be fulfilled. In this context, there may be an increase in the construction of bridges which will ...
Optimum design of steel portal frame structures

Perera, KLPD [Thesis-Abstract]

With the rapid development in industrial sector in Sri Lanka, there is a high demand for clear span buildings to cater for the factories with advance technology production lines as well as for the warehouses. Structural ...
Rehabilitation of steel bridges through prestressing

Chandrasiri, BVDN [Thesis-Abstract]

Throughout the world, bridges are being newly built, repaired, strengthened, replaced to provide essential infrastructure facilities for the Development. Sri Lanka is no exception. The cost of bridging has become a heavy ...
Development of guidelines for analysis, design, construction and repair of masonry arches

Fernando, HY [Thesis-Abstract]

Masonry arch has a long history of usage since it was first used by Egyptians 5000 years ago. The 12th & 13th centuries saw the greatest developments in stone masonry arch in U.K. and Europe. It possessed great advantage ...
Earthquake and blast resistant reinforced concrete buildings for Sri Lanka

Perera, DFU [Thesis-Abstract]

Earthquakes and blasts are generally considered as unlikely events by many professionals involved in the building industry. However, in ~any instances, such optimistic views are shown to be wrong at a great loss of human ...
Structural design of prestressed concrete continuous double tee beam bridges

Ranasinghe, WMDN [Thesis-Abstract]

One of the applications of prestressed concrete is in continuous bridges. These can be either double tee or box girders. The longitudinal shape can be prismatic, semi-prismatic or non- prismatic. The design of these bridges ...
Wind loads for tall buildings in Sri Lanka

Wijerathne, MD [Thesis-Abstract]

In the recent past the demand for construction of tall buildings in Sri Lanka has remarkably increased. With the development of technology, the knowledge on the material properties used in the construction work has been ...
Development and evaluation of the aesthetics of structural form

Kulasuriya, C [Thesis-Abstract]

This study demonstrates that the aesthetic concepts of engineering design do not just arise; but that they are derived from various models of aesthetics. It also presents various Proportioning Systems and their application ...
Effects of operating characteristics on work-in-progress in batch manufacturing systems

Nanayakkara, LDJF

The present state-of-art of the techniques of planning and controlling production in batch shops has been surveyed and the operational characteristic of batch shops have been identified. There is a need in manual shops to ...
Structural behavior related to stress analysis of joints in cold-formed square hollow sections

Chandrakeerthy, SRS [Thesis-Abstract]

Tubular sections possess great intrinsic advantages for structural application but exploitation of these has been hampered, initially by the lack of an efficient joining method and subsequently, after the adoption of ...
Determination of lateral behaviour of framed tube structures and comparison with conventional shear wall structures

Kanchana, LMV [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 increase in population and due to the limited space availability the latest trend is ...
Optimum design of plate girders

Weeratunga, AN [Thesis-Abstract]

Steel plate girders are generally used to span long distances and support heavy loads They consist of top and bottom flanges connected to a vertical web. The flanges are connected to the web by fillet welds. I’ late girders ...
Study on the use of tapered section in steel portal framed structures

Madunoraj, BHDY [Thesis-Abstract]

Abstract Plastic design of portal frame has become popular in these days. But, most of Sri Lankan designers adopt elastic design. This may be due to the scarcity of analytical and design software dealing with plastic ...
Estimation of concrete strength in existing structures

Seneviratne, AK [Thesis-Abstract]

This thesis focuses on estimation of the in-situ strength of concrete in existing structures by means of available data and methods which have been published by various authors from their research and investigations, ...
Economics of yield line analysis in design of concrete slabs

Pathiraja, DC [Thesis-Abstract]

Most practical structures are of three-dimensional nature, such as buildings, bridges, towers and tanks. These structures often require plate elements to do their intended function, or to make them stable. For reinforced ...
Blast resisting concrete walls

Indiketihewage, KN [Thesis-Abstract]

Today people around the world wake up, eat, live and sleep with terrorism. It has become a global menace. As a citizen lives in a country hit by a civil war for over three decades gave me motive and courage to set off this ...
Comparison of prestressed and reinforced concrete ground reservoirs

Fernando, KMNS [Thesis-Abstract]

There is a great demand for new pipe borne water supply schemes as well as expansion of existing pipe borne water supply schemes due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and host of other reasons demanding construction ...
Study to recommend a steel truss system with minimum steel quantity useage for medium span bridges

Munsinghe, MGJ [Thesis-Abstract]

There are about 4000 bridges on National Road Network with lengths varying from 3.0 m to about 200.0 m. These bridges have varying widths about 3.0 m to 20.0 m and some of these bridges has been constructed about 50 to 100 ...
Development of pre-stressed concrete bridges for railways

Silva, MGDD [Thesis-Abstract]

Abstract The pre-stressed bridge developments in most of the countries focus to the Road bridges. The steel was basically used to construct the railway Bridges in the world wide and also in Sri Lanka. Basic reasons in ...
The Response of conventional structures in Sri Lanka to adverse forces of nature

Silva, KSM [Thesis-Abstract]

ABSTRACT With the experience of minor earthquakes in deferent areas in Sri Lanka recent times, structural adequacy of existing structures has been questioned. Since a lot mof research has already been carried out on ...
