This Action aimed to address taller multi-storey timber buildings from a collaborative and interdisciplinary perspective, considering static, dynamic, fire, acoustic, human health and other aspects in parallel and not in isolation. Only through interdisciplinary analysis and interaction can a set of holistic design guidelines be developed that will enable safe construction of taller timber buildings, as well as respect human wellbeing demands. Such an endeavor can only be possible through interdisciplinary work and interaction between different design backgrounds, as well as between academic and design professionals. Recently, Dr. Viau co-authored two book chapters on the topic of blast design of timber structures and multi-hazard design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This open-access book and its chapters can accessed and <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-032-02098-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last four years, Dr. Viau had the pleasure and privilege of being involved in COST Action CA20139 &#8211; Holistic design of taller timber buildings (HELEN).
