CIVIL TALKS 2018 (Phase 02)
Enlightening the technical
knowledge scope of Civil engineering students of the department, a guest lecture on design,
detailing and installation of structural decking as composite slabs was
organized by Civil Engineering Society on 31st May 2018 at 11.15 am
at the Civil auditorium. The lecture focussing the final
year undergraduates, was conducted by Engineer E. Suresh while the
undergraduates from other levels were welcome to join in.
Prof M.T.R. Jayasinghe and Dr. (Mrs.)
M.T.P. Hettiarachchi participated representing the academic staff and the
welcome address was given by final year undergraduate Heraji Hansika.
Eng. Suresh explained about the
importance of steel structures and specified about the benefits of TATA steel,
the main sponsor for the event. TATA
Steel in fact is an economical, sustainable and green construction that would
match the modern engineering requirements. He also mentioned that TATA Steel
was used for constructions of warehouses and office buildings etc.
The sample product he brought
with him was able to provide a visual understanding of the product. He
described about their structural decking system which has excellent spanning
capacities ensuring great strength and less deflection. He enhanced our
knowledge regarding usage of steel structures and the structural decking system
for safe and better construction.
The participants were provided
with leaflets of “Lysaght” which consisted of their roofing and wall cladding products
and specifications along with tender specification details. Refreshments were
accompanied with a video about the ‘TATA Bluescope’ steel and its application.
Finally, Suraj Wickramasinghe, a CES Executive committee member, concluded the lecture at 12.30 pm after presenting a
token of appreciation to Eng. E. Suresh and with the vote of thanks.
Brilliant...!
