Christian Viau is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University. His research focuses on the development and analysis of wood-based composite structural elements such as mechanically-laminated timber (MLT), cross-laminated timber (CLT), and glued-laminated timber (glulam), with a strong emphasis on finite-element modeling using tools like ABAQUS and LS-DYNA. He investigates the behavior of mass-timber structures under extreme conditions, including impacts, blast loads, and earthquakes, while also working on multi-hazard design frameworks for infrastructure resilience.
