Coste, G., Kermani, A., Porteous, J., Murray, D., & Dhonju, R. (2016)
Influence of test procedure on timber wall racking performance. Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Structures and buildings, 169(12), 925-934. https://doi.org/10.1680/jstbu.15.00142
In the UK, the design procedure for calculating the racking strength of timber-framed walls is based on the rules in Eurocode 5 and given in PD 6693-1. Currently, the PD metho...
Racking performance of Platform timber framed walls assessed by rigid body relaxation technique
Journal Article
D 'Amico, B., Kermani, A., Porteous, J., Dhonju, R., & Zhang, B. (2016)
Racking performance of Platform timber framed walls assessed by rigid body relaxation technique. Construction and Building Materials, 129, 148-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2016.10.106
A new method to assess the raking performance of Platform timber framed walls, is provided in this study: each component of the unit wall assembly is assumed as rigid, hence a...

EC5 - Deformation and creep of timber structures
Journal Article
Porteous, J., & Kermani, A. (2009)
EC5 - Deformation and creep of timber structures. The structural engineer : journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers, 87, 25-30
With timber or wood-based structures, deformation rather than strength behaviour will commonly be the limiting factor in design and as such, a lack of understanding of design ...
