Racking Performance of Structural Insulated Panels (2006)
Journal Article
Kermani, A., & Hairstans, R. (2006). Racking Performance of Structural Insulated Panels. Journal of Structural Engineering, 132(11), 1806-1812. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%290733-9445%282006%29132%3A11%281806%29

Formed from a thick layer of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board, structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a viable alternative to traditional wood stud shear walls. Developed in North America, SIPs satisfy building... Read More about Racking Performance of Structural Insulated Panels.

Shot fired dowel flitch beams. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hairstans, R., Kermani, A., & Lawson, R. (2005, November). Shot fired dowel flitch beams. Presented at The 2nd International Scottish Conference for Postgraduate Researchers of the Built and Natural Environment

Flitch beams are a form of sandwich construction using steel and timber elements. They are used in the construction of domestic dwellings when relatively high loads and long spans predominate but available depth of section is restricted in some way....

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... Read More about Crane erection of timber-trussed rafter roofs.
