A Parametric Evaluation of Multi-Webbed Composite Joists Based on EC5 (2007)
Journal Article
Bahadori-Jahromi, A., Kermani, A., Zhang, B., & Reid, D. (2007). A Parametric Evaluation of Multi-Webbed Composite Joists Based on EC5. Journal of the Institute of Wood Science, 17(6), 295-310. https://doi.org/10.1179/wsc.2007.17.6.295

The introduction of engineered beams offers long span, low cost and light weight joists in comparison to traditional solid timber sections. However, the vibration criteria in the design codes may significantly reduce the permissible span of the joist...

Briefing: Structural insulated panels in modern construction (2007)
Journal Article
Hairstans, R., & Kermani, A. (2007). Briefing: Structural insulated panels in modern construction. Proceedings of the ICE - Construction Materials, 160(3), 91-94. https://doi.org/10.1680/coma.2007.160.3.91

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are typically formed from a thick layer of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board. They have improved insulation qualities due to reduced cold bridging effects and satisfy all ot... Read More about Briefing: Structural insulated panels in modern construction.

Laterally loaded timber joints with helically shaped steel fasteners. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coste, G., & Kermani, A. (2007). Laterally loaded timber joints with helically shaped steel fasteners. Proceedings from Nordic Workshop on Wood Engineering,

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the structural performance of a series of helically shaped steel fasteners “Helifix® fasteners” for use in a variety of timber connection systems. This paper describes part of a research programme... Read More about Laterally loaded timber joints with helically shaped steel fasteners..
