A study of cross-lamination of a multi-component liquid-retaining timber structure (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Savage, N., Kermani, A., & Zhang, H. (2010). A study of cross-lamination of a multi-component liquid-retaining timber structure. In P. J. S. Cruz (Ed.), Structures & Architecture (115-116). https://doi.org/10.1201/b10428-53

The orthotropic nature of timber creates issues with regards to dimensional stability and strength in most shell/surface structures and i particular in liquid-retaining wooden containers. Oak barrel, traditionally used for the transportation and stor... Read More about A study of cross-lamination of a multi-component liquid-retaining timber structure.

Vibrational performance of metal-webbed timber floors. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, B., Weckendorf, J., Kermani, A., & Fillingham, T. (2010). Vibrational performance of metal-webbed timber floors. In Proceedings of the 10th World Conference on Timber Engineering

Metal web engineered timber joists have been largely used nowadays to replace traditional solid timber joists for constructing intermediate-span timber floors in low-rise houses and long-span floors in commercial buildings. Vibrational criteria becom... Read More about Vibrational performance of metal-webbed timber floors..

Beam and post system for non-residential multi-storey timber buildings – Conceptual framework and key issues (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tlustochowicz, G., Kermani, A., & Johnsson, H. (2010). Beam and post system for non-residential multi-storey timber buildings – Conceptual framework and key issues. In Proceedings of the 10th World Conference on Timber Engineering,

In Sweden, there has been a long tradition of using timber in the construction of housing and in recent years, timber structural systems are increasingly used in multi-storey and large span buildings. The main focus of the majority of timber co... Read More about Beam and post system for non-residential multi-storey timber buildings – Conceptual framework and key issues.

Optimisation of an oak container (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Savage, N., Kermani, A., & Zhang, H. (2010). Optimisation of an oak container. In Proceedings of the 10th World Conference on Timber Engineering

Traditional containers such as barrels, used in the transportation and storage of food and liquid, have been constructed from timber for thousands of years. The design of the container has evolved over time and the original design specifications have... Read More about Optimisation of an oak container.

Prediction of modal frequencies, modal shapes and static point load deflections of I-joist timber flooring systems using finite element method. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Weckendorf, J., Zhang, B., & Kermani, A. (2010). Prediction of modal frequencies, modal shapes and static point load deflections of I-joist timber flooring systems using finite element method. In Proceedings of the 10th World Conference on Timber Enginee

The vibrational behaviour of structural timber flooring systems can result in serviceability problems due to discomfort experienced by the occupants. However, the dynamic response of such structural systems cannot be easily determined by hand calcula...
