Performance of a stress-laminated-timber arch bridge (2005)
Journal Article
Kermani, A., & Freedman, G. J. H. (2005). Performance of a stress-laminated-timber arch bridge. Proceedings of the ICE - Bridge Engineering, 158(4), 155-164. https://doi.org/10.1680/bren.2005.158.4.155

For the past three years the authors have been involved in the optimisation of the performance of stress-laminated-timber arch (SLTA) structures by utilising the strength properties of timber in an arching action for use as vehicle and pedestrian bri...

Fully overlapping nailed joints with steel gussets in timber structures. (2005)
Journal Article
Porteous, A., & Kermani, A. (2005). Fully overlapping nailed joints with steel gussets in timber structures. Journal of Structural Engineering, 131(5), 806-815. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%290733-9445%282005%29131%3A5%28806%29

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the translational behavior of timber joints formed with steel gusset plates and connected by fully overlapping nails. Over 1,200 joints have been tested and their load – displacement characterist... Read More about Fully overlapping nailed joints with steel gussets in timber structures..
