Shot fired dowel flitch beams. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hairstans, R., Kermani, A., & Lawson, R. (2005). Shot fired dowel flitch beams.

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....

Dynamic response of timber floors. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Weckendorf, J., Zhang, B., Kermani, A., & Reid, D. (2005). Dynamic response of timber floors. In Proceedings of the Second Scottish Conference for Postgraduate Researchers of the Built & Natural Environment (PRoBE

Developments in composite timber construction have been widely used for forming relatively large-span floors. This has also resulted in undue floor vibrations, causing inconvenience to the occupants and requiring the vibrational response of the struc... Read More about Dynamic response of timber floors..
