The International Timber Construction Forum (Internationales Holzbau-Forum or IHF) is a major international professional conference and exchange platform focused on timber and wood construction that brings together professionals involved in the design, engineering, research, manufacturing, and construction of timber structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the presentation, Drs. Viau and Doudak submitted an article to the conference proceedings. These can be accessed <a href=\"https:\/\/forum-holzwissen.com\/en\/aktuell-plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here <\/a>(subscription required)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Timber Construction Forum (IHF 2025) offers timber builders, planners, engineers and architects the opportunity to report on experiences, work and goals with timber structures and timber constructions. The forum will also give project managers, representatives of building and approval authorities, timber builders and craftsmen, practitioners and trainers the opportunity to inform themselves comprehensively and exchange ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/viau\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2025\/12\/PXL_20251203_101813269-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"A photo taken by Dr. Viau of the mountain view as seen from the conference venue.\" class=\"wp-image-705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/viau\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2025\/12\/PXL_20251203_101813269-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/viau\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2025\/12\/PXL_20251203_101813269-512x386.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/viau\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2025\/12\/PXL_20251203_101813269-320x241.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/viau\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2025\/12\/PXL_20251203_101813269-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/viau\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2025\/12\/PXL_20251203_101813269-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/viau\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2025\/12\/PXL_20251203_101813269-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amazing view from the venue!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Viau had the privilege of attending the International Timber Construction Forum as an invited speaker to present the work that has been taking place at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa (Dr. Ghasan Doudak) on mass-timber structures subjected to extreme load effects.
