Fishery harbors (FH) are recognized as hot spots for coastal pollution as intensive anthropogenic activity takes place there. According to previous beach surveys conducted in the country, plastic was recognized as the major ...
The behavior of multi-material layered systems under high-velocity impact loads, such as impact and blast scenarios, has gained significant attention from researchers over the past years due to its extensive applications ...
In this study, sugarcane bagasse ash is recognized as a pozzolan, and the examination delves into its impact on the structural properties and durability of concrete. A signif icant volume of bagasse ash is generated ...
As an inevitable result of the growing population in recent times, requirements for housing facilities, land scarcity, and overexploitation of natural resources have created many problems, both environmental and social. ...
Climate change is a significant issue in the present which impacts the economic status of communities by affecting their livelihoods. To investigate the problems of climate change on communities, economic models of climate ...
Tree roots play a major role in ground and slope stabilization by increasing the strength and stiffness of the soil positively. When evaluating how vegetation affects ground improvement, tree roots are the primary factor ...
This research focuses on the assessment of train-induced ground vibrations through experimental analysis and the development of a Finite Element (FE) prediction model. The study aims to evaluate the ...
Design of large space structures is restricted due to the limited storage capacity of
launch vehicles. Deployable structures made with ultra-thin woven fibre composites
eliminates this bottleneck due to self-deploying ...
Structural health monitoring helps to protect infrastructure by guiding timely
interventions. Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing (DFOS) is one such monitoring
technique with significant advantages such as continuous measurement ...
Sri Lanka is considered as an aseismic country, hence the seismic risk is not explicitly considered in the planning and designing of critical structures. However, current studies indicate that the seismic risk cannot be ...
Deployable structures play a vital role in a variety of applications such as aerospace
structures, rapid development civil engineering projects, medical devices,
reconfigurable robotics and many other engineering ...
Landfilling has now become a prime concern all around the world, not only
because it squanders usable land, it causes major environmental issues such
as contamination of soil, water, and air, as well as an impact on ...
Thin Asphalt surfacing (TAS) is an innovative idea that has the potential to lower
construction and maintenance costs of road construction in Sri Lanka. Laboratory based
studies conducted in Sri Lanka have shown that the ...
All over the world, sustainability has been given immense attention, thus novel stateof-the-art
materials and building systems are emerging as alternatives. With those
different alternatives, comparison and the selection ...
Flood forecasting is a powerful tool for flood management and early warning, where the
anticipated flow values are determined by incorporating basin attributes and climatic factors.
In the field, data-driven models offer ...
Office buildings are one of the main categories of buildings which possess a rapid
growth rate in the context of urbanization. They contribute to a major part of energy
consumption in commercial building sector. Even ...
The downstream of the Kelani river with relatively flat terrain is extremely important as a region with high population density and semi/highly built-up areas. However, this part of the basin is highly flood-prone and ...
Transport demand models assess impacts of transport policies and transport infrastructure. In recent times transport modellers have been moving towards disaggregate activity based models from widely used aggregate trip/tour ...
Sustainability is a universal concept applied in all industries and services to instigate a base of responsibility in an individual and collective manner. The need to promote the concept and hold stakeholders responsible ...
