Journal Article
Kermani, A. (1991). Permeability of stressed concrete: Steady‐state method of measuring permeability of hardened concrete studies in relation to the change in structure of concrete under various short‐term stress levels. Building research and information : the international journal of research, development and demonstration, 19(6), 360-366. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613219108727156

Abdy Kermani of the Structural Research Group at the Department of Civil Engineering, Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh, found that permeability increases with increase in applied stress level depending on the type of the mix and the magnitude of the a...

Performance of Nailed Gusset Joints in Ridged Timber Portals (1991)
Journal Article
Kermani, A., & Lee, B. S. (1991). Performance of Nailed Gusset Joints in Ridged Timber Portals. International Journal of Forest Engineering, 3(1), 13-28. https://doi.org/10.1080/08435243.1991.10702630

Abstract The structural behaviour and performance of nailed plywood gusset knee joints of timber portal frames are investigated. An analytical study has shown, and experimental study has confirmed, that the behaviour of the joints in terms of streng...

A vapour phase preservative treatment of manufactured wood based board materials (1989)
Journal Article
Murphy, R. J., & Turner, P. (1989). A vapour phase preservative treatment of manufactured wood based board materials. Wood science and technology, 23(3), 273-279. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00367740

The preservative treatment of four different wood based board materials using an esterified borate applied in the vapour phase was investigated. Under optimum conditions complete impregnation via the board faces was achieved in all boards treated. Bo...

The simulation at component level of microprocessor systems provides a precise technique for evaluating the design of a system with regards to its requirements specification. The paper describes the use of occam to simulate individual microprocessor... Read More about Simulating microprocessor systems using occam and a network of transputers.

Design, abstract data types and occam (1989)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Wright, S., & Oates, R. (1989, April). Design, abstract data types and occam. Presented at 10th Occam User Group Technical Meeting, Enschede, The Netherlands

A design methodology is presented whereby abstract data types are mapped onto occam processes. For each function a command and reply protocol is specified. Attention is paid to the formal specification. The method may be useful in obtaining a paralle... Read More about Design, abstract data types and occam.

Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres (1988)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1988). Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres. Chemical Engineering Science, 43(6), 1403-1405. https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2509%2888%2985113-3

The distribution of voidage in the wall regions of randomly packed beds of uniform spheres is investigated. A general equation relating the local voidage to the distribution of the spheres is derived and is combined with some simple observations abou...
