Dr(Eng) T L Pradeep earned his Bachelor of Civil and environmental Engineering at University of Ruhuna,Sri Lanka and then pursued his Post Graduate Diploma in Structural Engineering at University of Peradeniya,Sri Lanka in 2009 and 2011 respectively. Later on he was awarded prestige merit scholarship for his PhD at University of Basilicata, Italy Under the European Commission (EU-NICE) 2012 to 2014. During his stay in Italy the numerous research academic relevant to confined concrete and its related numerical models were studied to predict the cyclic behaviour of concrete. Finally his Thesis awarded with super category under PhD cycle of XVII at University of Basilicata.
