Thesis
Swan, I. P. The efffect of elastomeric bearing degradation on bridge dynamic response. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3800

The dynamic response of highway bridges is a topic that has been thoroughly researched over
many years. However, understanding of how the dynamic response of bridges is affected by the
performance of their bearings over an extended period of time i... Read More about The efffect of elastomeric bearing degradation on bridge dynamic response..

Briefing: Stress lamination: utilising low-grade timber in construction (2006)
Journal Article
Freedman, G. J. H., & Kermani, A. (2006). Briefing: Stress lamination: utilising low-grade timber in construction. Proceedings of the ICE - Construction Materials, 159(1), 7-10. https://doi.org/10.1680/coma.2006.159.1.7

Stress lamination of timber, as an engineering concept, has a useful future in construction, and should provide many opportunities to utilise UK timber - a readily available lightweight material, excellent in compression yet good in bending. That com... Read More about Briefing: Stress lamination: utilising low-grade timber in construction.
