Comparison of shell element forces obtained through classical analysis and computer software

Vithanage, SC [Thesis-Abstract]

The “intze” type water tanks are economical for storing large capacities of water. Therefore accurate analysis of these structures is essential. Modern trend is to use computer software for analysis and design of structures. ...
Study on waterproofing methods of roof top slabs

Duleeka, KP [Thesis-Abstract]

This research reports a study on waterproofing methods of roof top slabs in Sri Lanka. Waterproofing has become an essential component of a structure to protect its aesthetic appearance, prevent structural damages and for ...
Significance of solar radiation on concrete water retaining structures

Barthelot, AE [Thesis-Full-text]

According to the codes of practice for design of concrete structures, the effect of solar radiation has to be given due consideration. However, it is not specifically incorporated in the structural design. Often providing ...
Optimization of random rubble masonry retaining wall design

Santhajeewa, AN [Thesis-Full-text]

The conventional earth retaining structures built using Random Rubble Masonry (RRM) are designed as gravity retaining structures where weight of the structure is used for its stability. In Sri Lanka, RRM retaining walls ...
Corrosion prevention of stell structures for Sri Lanka Author Premachandrasiri, W.N.

Premachandrasiri, WN [Thesis-Abstract]

Sri Lanka has made a significant development in the design and construction sector during the last 10 years. The use of steel is one of the governing construction materials in the industries. One of the major concerns of ...
Delayed ettringite formation in large concrete sections and its prevention

Wanigaratne, NSA [Thesis-Abstract]

Delayed Ettringite Formation in Large Concrete Sections and its Prevention With many large scale civil engineering construction projects undertaken, there is a possibility for having large concrete pores in thick members. ...
Feasibility of using cold formed steel for medium span roof structures in Sri Lanka

Fernando, BNC [Thesis-Abstract]

Cold formed steel members have been widely used in industrial and commercial buildings over the world with increasing interest and even in the residential development. In the past it was used mostly in non-load bearing ...
Progressive collapse assessment of reinforced concrete framed buildings structures

Sammandapperuma, SMALK [Thesis-Abstract]

A structure is subjected to progressive collapse when a primary structural element fails, resulting in failure of adjoining structural elements which, in their turn, cause further structural failure leading eventually to ...
Guidelines of steel frames and special issues for stadia spans

Udawattage, UDR [Thesis-Abstract]

Sports begin in early childhood of the human being and last throughout the life span of the people. The stadium is a theater to conduct organized sport events. The critical structural point in a stadium project is provision ...
Computerized optimization of the based width of transmission towers in Sri Lanka

Ganeshwaran, R [Thesis-Abstract]

Transmission line towers were mainly used in electrification works in all over the world. Optimization of base width of the transmission towers becomes necessary in order to reduce the cost and to avoid public objection. ...
Study on viability of adopting post tensioned slab construction in Sri Lanka

Culas, JA [Thesis-Abstract]

This study was undertaken in two phases to identify the viability of adopting post- tensioned slab construction of multi-storied buildings in Sri Lanka. The phase I comprises the questionnaire survey which dealt with the ...
Comparative study on code based analysis of steel moment resisting connections

Kodikara, KANT [Thesis-Abstract]

Moment resisting connections are usually designed as simple or continuous although the actual behavior is known to fall between these two extreme cases. The use of semi- continuous connection results substantial savings ...
Computerized optimization of the base width of transmission towers in Sri Lanka

Ganeshwaran, R [Thesis-Abstract]

Transmission line towers were mainly used in electrification works in all over the world. Optimization of base width of the transmission towers becomes necessary in order to reduce the cost and to avoid public objection. ...
Seismic vulnerability assesment of reinforced concrete framed building in Sri Lanka: a case study

Gunaratne, SKA [Thesis-Abstract]

Earthquakes are one of nature’s greatest hazards to life. Sri Lanka is considered to be in an aseismic zone away from major plate boundaries or any active faults. However, the first Earthquake hazard recorded on 14th ...
Optimization of prestressed concrete railway sleepers

Lakmali, HDD [Thesis-Abstract]

In Sri Lanka cheapest and safest mode of transportation is railways. It has higher load carrying capacities. The load applied by trains is transferred to the ground through rails supported on railway sleepers. Basically ...
The response of conventional structures in Sri Lanka for earthquake

Sudesan, N [Thesis-Abstract]

Ground water reservoirs are commonly used in this country for storing 200m3 to 2000m3 water capacities when the area needed water supply having an elevated area (which elevation is sufficient for the head required) and ...
Production of self compacting concrete using rice husk ash

Jeevasangar, S [Thesis-Abstract]

Self compacting concrete flows into formwork and around obstructions under its own weight to fill it completely and self compact (without any need for vibration), without any segregation and blocking. The elimination of ...
Comparative analysis o n simply supported pre- stressed box beams in Sri Lankan highway bridges

Jabbar, MARMA [Thesis-Abstract]

The National Road network of Sri Lanka consists of 4326 bridges. There are 365 bridges which Have the length more than 30m .Only 800 bridges are made of prestressed concrete superstructures and all others are with reinforced ...
Effect of high strength concrete for bridge girders

Dissanayake, STB [Thesis-Abstract]

High strength concrete (HSC) has been widely applied worldwide in recent years due to its favorable strength and dense microstructure. HSC shows some characteristics and engineering properties different from those of ...
The response of existing conical water towers in Sri Lanka to earthquake

Chandana, DPM [Thesis-Abstract]

The shaft support of elevated conical tanks should have adequate strength to resist axial loads, and moment and shear forces due to lateral loads. These forces depend on the total weight of the structure which varies with ...
