An update on grading timber for structural use (2017)
Book Chapter
Mansfield-Williams, H., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2017). An update on grading timber for structural use. In TRADA Timber Industry Yearbook 2017 (148-155)

The quality of timber varies and, while we have little control over tree growth compared to industrial manufacturing processes, we do know many of the factors that influence wood properties. Both the species
and the growth region are important since... Read More about An update on grading timber for structural use.

Acoustic Hanger (2017)
Patent
Su, S., Smith, S., & McAndrew, S. (2017). Acoustic Hanger. GB 2493005. UK Patent Office

This patent stemmed from research undertaken to investigate the reduction of sound transmission through lightweight floors in apartments. Lightweight floors have commonly been associated with low frequency resonance issues partly due to the lack of i... Read More about Acoustic Hanger.

Timber properties of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown in Great Britain (2016)
Report
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & McLean, P. (2016). Timber properties of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown in Great Britain. Great Britain: Forest Research

The softwood processing sector in Great Britain has been built around the use of a very small number of timber producing species – predominantly Sitka spruce. The recent increase in outbreaks of host-specific tree pests and diseases has led to an int...

Ribbed-plate Approach to Predict Static and Dynamic Responses of Timber Floor with Between-Joist Bracing (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khokhar, A., & Chui, Y. (2016, August). Ribbed-plate Approach to Predict Static and Dynamic Responses of Timber Floor with Between-Joist Bracing. Presented at World Conference on Timber Engineering

Installing between-joist bracing can be an economical and effective means of mitigating excessive vibration levels in wood floors associated to human discomfort. Effectiveness of between-joist bracing depends upon its own rigidity that accounts for t...
