• Study of deep beams using finite element approach 

  Jasotharan, S [Thesis-Full-text]

  Beams are common structural elements in most structures and generally they are analysed using classical beam theories to evaluate the stress and strain characteristics of the beam. But in the case of deep beams, higher ...
• Embodied analysis of a precast building system 

  Dissanayake, DMKW [Thesis-Full-text]

  Buildings are evolving throughout the history of mankind. When a new building system is introduced, the usual evaluation method is the monetary value. The adaptability to the climate conditions, structural capabilities and ...
• Development of fast and bouncy cricket pitches in Sri Lanka 

  Perera, WSU [Thesis-Full-text]
