DESIGN OF RIGID PAVEMENT JOINT SPACING FOR LOW VOLUME ROADS

Karunarathne, AMAN [Thesis-Abstract]

During 'the last decade, the government has given great emphasis on development of the road sector. The government also promoted the construction of concrete roads in rural areas. The major reason for this is that the ...
Optimization of truss type steel bridges

Karunarathna, WWN [Thesis-Abstract]

This work aims towards analyzing truss type steel bridges by 3-D finite element modelling using SAP2000. Details of different truss type steel bridges are discussed together with gathered information on such bridges found ...
Optimum logistic cost cluster size of multiple facilities and server systems

Perera, KPH [Thesis-Abstract]

Demand for a particular facility can be exceeded due to the continuous growth of consumers. Therefore the existing competition can also be increased. This will boost the forming of new facilities providers and also increase ...
Development of a 46 Story Apartment Building in Rajagiriya

Jayasinghe, C [Thesis-Abstract]

Colombo city is the business capital in Sri Lanka. The growth of businesses in the city is increasing day by day. As a result of this situation, many urban dwellers those living outside the capital are attracted to the ...
Estimation of Fatigue Life of Steel Masts using Finite Element Modelling

Danushka, KKGK [Thesis-Full-text]

Estimation of Fatigue Life of Steel Masts using Finite Element Modelling Fatigue is an important design consideration for tall steel structures. Accurate prediction of fatigue endurance is essential to design the elements ...
Feasibility study of use of bottom ash, by product of Norochcholi coal power plant in hot mix asphalt concrete in Sri Lanka

Dammika, HTR [Thesis-Full-text]

A review of recent research on bottom ash seems to indicate it has the capability to improve asphalt pavement performance when used to replace a portion of the aggregate in asphalt mixes. Bottom ash can be used as an ...
Modelling the relationship between vehicle operating speed and the geometry of the roads using geographic information systems (GIS)

Rajapaksha, RPGKS [Thesis-Abstract]

It is known that road geometric features significantly contributes to the variation in vehicle speed. According to conventional Highway Geometric design procedure there is no accurate method to predict actual vehicle speed ...
Develop driving cycles to determine fuel consumption and for traffic engineering purposes in Colombo city

Galgamuwa, UN [Thesis-Full-text]

Driving cycle can be considered as one of the useful methods of modelling traffic behaviour on road for many purposes such as traffic engineering, fuel economy and setting up emission standards. A driving cycle is a series ...
Improving the evaluation of transport infratructure projects

Gamalath, IM [Thesis-Abstract]

Investment on transport infrastructure is a significant component in a country’s budget as it is identified as a key factor to facilitate the country’s development. At the same time demand for transportation is positively ...
Finite element model approach to determine the optimum dimensions for interlocking concrete blocks used for road paving

Gunatilake, MMDV [Thesis-Abstract]

Concrete Block Paving (CBP), which is a predominant construction method used nowadays, is based on the ancient road construction technology “Stone Paving”. The use of CBP is a common sight in most of the developing countries ...
Estimate and modify O-D flows and evaluate travel time using minimal number of link flow counts

Pilanavithana, US [Thesis-Abstract]

Accurate real-time information provision and short-term predictions of traffic parameters such as volumes, travel speeds and occupancies, is a research topic that has attracted considerable interest in the literature. This ...
Development of a mix design method for pervious concrete

Pathmakumara, GDM [Thesis-Abstract]

Rapid infrastructure development and urbanization of many rural areas can be seen in Sri Lanka recently. Concrete is widely used in construction of roads, sidewalks, embankments, parking areas and drainage systems due to ...
Impact of climate change on the wave climate of Sri Lanka

Bamunawala, RMJ [Thesis-Abstract]

Climate change and climate change driven impacts are most widely argued topics among contemporary researchers and scientists. Broadly there are two schools of philosophies that process entirely contrasting concepts about ...
Behaviour of reinforced concrete columns confined with CFRP

Rankoth, CK [Thesis-Abstract]

In worldwide reinforced concrete is the major construction material used for buildings and general structures. The requirement of strengthening of reinforced concrete structures may emerge not only due to timed degradation ...
Development of National guidelines for seismic analysis and design of (Engineered) buildings in Sri Lanka

Kularathna, HGSR [Thesis-Abstract]

Sri Lanka was believed to have no seismic threat compared to other natural disasters such as landslides, floods, droughts which often cause widespread devastations. However, it has now been realized that Sri Lanka can no ...
Pilot study on floating wetlands for management of algal washout from stabilization ponds : an application to Hikkaduwa waste stabilization ponds

Kalubowila, S [Thesis-Abstract]

Waste stabilization ponds are advantageous wastewater treatment processes, especially for developing countries. Nevertheless, in spite of the well known advantages of the implementation of the stabilization pond system, ...
Study on applicability of ACI and DOE mix design methods for paving blocks

Gopinath, K [Thesis-Abstract]

Presently local manufacturers select the initial mix proportions for CPBs in a random basis and improve it through several trials to attain the final mix. Whereas either identification of new mix proportioning method or ...
Development of an eveluation criterion to assess pedestrian facilities in urban environment using walkability measures

Dias, TWKIM [Thesis-Abstract]

Development of an evaluation criterion to assess pedestrian facilities in urban environment using walkability measures Utility-related walking includes household, transportation, or occupation purpose walking and that has ...
Development of guidelines for best practices in water quality management for rural water supllies-based on the water safety plan approach

Nilushi, MBT [Thesis-Abstract]

Development of Guidelines for Best Practices in Water Quality Management for Rural Water Supplies – Based on the Water Safety Plan Approach This study is about the Rural Water Supply Schemes (RWSS) of Matara District which ...
Development Of A Guideline For Implementation Of Polymer Modified Biutmen For Hma Based On Empirical Test Methods

Sitinamaluwa, HS [Thesis-Abstract]

Polymer modification of bitumen has increasingly become the norm in designing optimally performing pavements. Pavements with polymer modification exhibits greater resistance to permanent deformation and thermal cracking, ...
