Stress-laminated arches: a stronger case for timber bridges (2004)
Journal Article
Freedman, G., & Kermani, A. (2004). Stress-laminated arches: a stronger case for timber bridges. Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, 157(4), 172-178. https://doi.org/10.1680/cien.157.4.172.52081

Timber bridges have been around for a long time but are still viewed with suspicion by design engineers and the public alike. Though not as durable or strong as steel and concrete, timber is nevertheless a sustainable material in plentiful supply and...

Crane erection of timber-trussed rafter roofs (2004)
Journal Article
Hairstans, R., Kermani, A., & Lawson, R. (2004). Crane erection of timber-trussed rafter roofs. Proceedings of the ICE - Engineering Sustainability, 157(2), 89-98. https://doi.org/10.1680/ensu.157.2.89.41080

Traditional methods of timber frame construction are labour-intensive and time-consuming. This paper details a study of the crane-erect method of construction which utilises on-site preparatory work and off-site fabrication. The paper also examin...
