Considering the problems associated with the availability and reliability of climatic data in developing countries and the possible errors in the more sophisticated methods for estimating crop water requirements, it has ...
is necessary to take these properties into account in order to obtain better predictions from peat consolidation analyses. In the present study, the consolidation behavior of peaty clay found in Sri Lanka is extensively ...
The present work investigates the problem of determining
transient overvoltages in cross-bonded cable systems,
the efficiency of computation by determining short-cut methods and
by organising the inverse Fourier transform ...
Growth polarities of the city into centralised and decentralised forms have been synonymous as the birth of the city itself. Concurrently, two basic schools of thought
have sprung based on these and the patterns of city ...
Degeneracies of temporally damped Orr-Sommerfeld eigenmodes are studied primarily for plane Poiseuille flow. The discrete spectrum of the eigenmodes is shown to possess infinitely much degeneracy, each appearing at a certain ...
Digital Library is a popular concept in the West. It is considered as an efficient tool for
improving access to information. This study has made an attempt to justify the need for a
digital library on Statistical Information ...

Modeling of a limestone aquifer in the north west of Sri Lanka is attempted. The Vanathavillu basin situated 18km north of Puttalum, covering an area of approximately 80sq.km has been studied, using a mathematical model ...
The issues associated with an increasing population of the aged have received much
attention in recent years in Sri Lanka as well as in many other countries. The
importance of these issues has been highlighted by setting ...
Infill materials found in natural rock joints may cause a reduction in joint shear strength, influencing rock mass stability. The shear strength of rock mass, already reduced by these discontinuities, will further diminish ...
A dimensionally homogeneous and accurate formula has been derived in this research for the estimation of surface resistance in pipes based on explicit friction
factor relationship and Darcy-Weisbach equation. The new ...
This thesis presents the development of a Productivity measurement model and the use of the Productivity measurement model as an optimisation tool. The project could therefore be divided into two stages and these are:
