Research and expertise

I am a Doctoral Researcher at Loughborough University, specialising in sustainable concrete techniques, structural analysis, microstructure, and durability of concrete. My research study primarily directed reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, with a particular focus on the microstructure, transport mechanism, FEM and durability properties.

I hold Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Civil Engineering and Master of Science in Civil Engineering (by research).

Current research activity

  • Microstructural behaviour of (reinforced) autoclaved aerated concrete
  • Durability properties of (reinforced) autoclaved aerated concrete
  • Dynamic behaviour of rubber incorporated concrete

Recently completed research projects

  • Developing rubber incorporated concrete with the inclusion of nanomaterial
  • The effect of geomatrical parameters on discharge capacity of piano key weirs
  • A sustainable future for rubber incorporated concrete in Sri Lanka
