Investigating the role of social media platforms in disaster risk communication in Sri Lanka

Jayathilaka, HADGS [Thesis-Full-text]

Disaster Risk Communication (DRC) is one of the key elements adopted by the global community to reduce the adverse effects of catastrophic disasters. Several drawbacks were identified that caused the ineffectiveness of the ...
Decision making model to enhance knowledge on climate change, sustainable design and energy conservation

Gunawardana SAA [Thesis-Full-text]

Incorporating sustainability into university education enhances the knowledge of the students to practice sustainability concepts in their professional life.This research was conducted to determine how the university ...
Quantitative approach to hospital resilience based on system dynamics : case of Sri Lanka

Jayasekara JHPRU [Thesis-Full-text]

Past records depict that both the intensity and frequency of climatic-related hazards are increasing devastatingly. Although the number of deaths caused by these extreme events has been comparatively less recently, the ...
Development of a methodology to evaluate safety performance in low volume roads

Ranawaka RKTK [Thesis-Abstract]

Road safety is a vital element of the road's overall function, which is often neglected in decision-making for road maintenance management. As a result, the safety issues, especially in rural roads, remain without funding ...
Stabilization of soil with plastic waste and leaf ash

Yathushan V [Thesis-Abstract]

This study aims to investigate the stabilization of three sandy soils with the addition of waste plastics, Bamboo Leaf ash (BLA), Banana Leaf ash (BALA) and a leaf ash mixture based on the enhancement in the MDD (Maximum ...
Assessment of structural vulnerability of Sri Lankan hospitals under natural hazards – Tsunami as a case study

Hasalanka HHH [Thesis-Abstract]

Hospitals are considered critical service units of a society that need to operate before, during, and after disasters. The Ministry of Health of Sri Lanka has embraced the “Safe Hospitals” Initiative promoted by the World ...
Development of network level pavement management system for low volume rural roads

Sandamal RMK [Thesis-Abstract]

In Sri Lanka, there is about 156,000 km length of roads and among those about 92% are considered as rural roads (LVRRs). These roads are playing a pivotal role in community development, transport of people, goods, and ...
Investigation on the applicability of bottom ash for restoration of clay mines in Sri Lanka

Suloshini S [Thesis-Abstract]

The higher cost associated with the restoration of clay mines and shortage of suitable filling materials have created many abandoned clay mines in Sri Lanka, leading to various environmental and health issues. Bottom ash ...
Development of a demand model for school trips in Colombo district, Sri Lanka

Damsara KDP [Thesis-Abstract]

A school trip is defined as a trip that originated from home or a temporary residential location and terminates at an educational institution. According to the ComTrans study, a major portion of the traffic congestion ...
A Framework for critical infrastructure management with the focus on disasters : case study approach

Shehara PL A I [Thesis-Abstract]

The significance of Critical Infrastructure and the important focus to enhance their level of resilience capacity is defined by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction developed for 2015-2030. Furthermore, Goal ...
The Effect of terrain data resolution on flood modelling - a study in downstream of Kelani river basin, Sri Lanka

Suja ACA [Thesis-Abstract]

Frequent severe flooding in Colombo due to the overflow of the Kelani River emphasizes the necessity of flood modelling as inundation extents and flood depth can easily be identified for implementing effective flood control ...
A Methodology to estimate the changes in trip distribution due to the land use changes according to the modified traffic analysis zones

Weerasinghe WMCO [Thesis-Abstract]

Land use and transportation have a significant impact on each other, therefore planers, engineers, decision makers and scholars have researched on the interaction between land use and transportation over the past few ...
Study on the performance of CFRP strengthened corroded steel members

Perera UND [Thesis-Full-text]

Most of the metallic structures such as offshore platforms and railway bridges are now in the need of retrofitting due to corrosion. One of the efficient ways of strengthening these structures is by using (Carbon Fibre ...
Development of a model to evaluate capacity of urban multi-lane roads under heterogeneous traffic conditions

Jayaratne DND [Thesis-Full-text]

Road capacity is defined as the maximum sustainable hourly flow rate at which vehicles can reasonably be expected to traverse a point or uniform section of a lane during a given time period under prevailing roadway and ...
Numerical Modelling and experimental investigation on enhancing punching shear capacity using carbon fiber reinforced polymer on flat slabs

Silva MAL [Thesis-Full-text]

Flat slabs are much vulnerable to shear failures because stress transferring between the column and the slab happens within a considerable small region. This creates high stress at the slab-column connection area result ...
An Assessment of wind loading and wind energy potential for Sri Lanka

Maduranga WLS [Thesis-Full-text]

It was more than 40 years ago that Sri Lanka last established a wind loading map after the severe cyclone that struck the country in 1978. It is strongly believed that statistical methods had not been used in developing ...
Basinwide analysis of water resources and pollute transport using a distributed parameter model

Dahanayake AC [Thesis-Full-text]

The Nachchaduwa sub-catchment (598.74 km2) of the Malwathu Oya basin is seasonally stressed in the dry periods and its downstream parts undergo intermittent floods during monsoon seasons while the fate and behaviour of ...
Prediction of temperature rise in concrete due to heat of hydration of cement

Mataraarachchi, AIGK [Thesis-Full-text]

Temperature rise due to heat of hydration in concrete depends on many factors such as geometry of the concrete element, chemical, physical and thermal properties of concrete materials, mix proportion, initial temperature ...
Validation of mechanistic empirical design approach for pavement design - case study for Sri Lanka

Jayarathna KARN [Thesis-Abstract]

Pavement design is a vital part in new road construction and rehabilitation of roads. American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) pavement design guideline and Transport Research Laboratory ...
An Analysis of the influence of the field level hydraulic property approximations in storm water modelling

Wanniarachchi, SS [Thesis-Full-text]

This study analyses the effect of the catchment field approximations for accurate flood hydrograph prediction. Considering the availability of gauged data, the Karasnagala watershed of Attanagalu Oya, located in Gampaha ...
