The ARTS (Advanced Research in Timber Systems) Group at the University of Alberta, led by Prof. Ying Hei Chui, focuses on advancing mass timber construction through innovative engineered wood products and structural systems. With expertise in structural timber engineering and building materials, the group pioneers novel connection techniques and enhances the structural and serviceability performance of mass timber elements, particularly lateral load-resisting systems.
The ARTS Group also investigates inclined self-tapping screw connections and the acoustic and vibration performance of mass timber panel-concrete composite floors. With a focus on sustainable growth, the group supports the construction and wood industries in transitioning from light wood-frame to mid- and high-rise mass timber construction.
