Review of Water Ingress Characteristic of Stressed Masonry (2001)
Journal Article
Tait, C. J., Khalaf, F. M., & Kermani, A. (2001). Review of Water Ingress Characteristic of Stressed Masonry. Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 13(5), 332-339. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%290899-1561%282001%2913%3A5%28332%29

Studies have found that over 80% of total water ingress occurs at the brick/mortar interface and not through the brick unit or the mortar. The interface between the brick and mortar is influenced by the tensile bond strength between the two, which is... Read More about Review of Water Ingress Characteristic of Stressed Masonry.

Reliability of timber structural systems: a review (2001)
Journal Article
Drummond, I., Kermani, A., & Wamuziri, S. C. (2001). Reliability of timber structural systems: a review. Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Structures and buildings, 146(1), 101-108. https://doi.org/10.1680/stbu.2001.146.1.101

The estimation of reliability in timber structures is a procedure complicated by the time-dependent nature of timber failure, coupled with the complex structural behaviour of timber systems. Prior to the implementation of probabilistic concepts, desi... Read More about Reliability of timber structural systems: a review.
