Abstract
A Menon design of order h^2^ is a symmetric (4__h__^2^,2__h__^2^‐h,h^2^‐h)‐design. Quasi‐residual and quasi‐derived designs of a Menon design have parameters 2‐(2__h__^2^ + h,h^2^,h^2^‐h) and 2‐(2__h__^2^‐h,h^2^‐h,h^2^‐h‐1), respectively. In this article, regular Hadamard matrices are used to construct non‐embeddable quasi‐residual and quasi‐derived Menon designs. As applications, we construct the first two new infinite families of non‐embeddable quasi‐residual and quasi‐derived Menon designs. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 17: 53–62, 2009

## Abstract The main result in this article is a method of constructing a non‐embeddable quasi‐derived design from a quasi‐derived design and an α‐resolvable design. This method is a generalization of techniques used by van Lint and Tonchev in 14, 15 and Kageyama and Miao in 8. As applications, we
## Abstract We propose a technique for constructing two infinite families of non‐embeddable quasi‐residual designs as soon as one such design satisfying certain conditions exists. The main tools are generalized Hadamard matrices and balanced generalized weighing matrices. Starting with a specific n
