In recent years, advances in timber engineering, combined with an associated evolution in
building codes, have led to a significant expansion of multi-storey timber construction …

This paper presents a literature overview of the acoustic studies dedicated to lightweight
wooden constructions. The reviewed articles contain prediction models, laboratory and field …

Acoustic waves are fascinating phenomena in gases, liquids or solids with numerous
physical and technical aspects. Air is the medium of interest when it comes to audible sound …

Sound insulation is an important aspect of building performance. This book is a
comprehensive guide to sound and vibration theory and its application to the measurement …

Timber buildings represent a robust alternative to traditional heavyweight constructions.
They allow CO 2 storage, high structure and performance reproducibility, fast assembly and …

Timber usage in the Australian construction industry has significantly increased due to its
strength, aesthetic properties and extended allowances recently introduced in building …

Prediction of the impact sound insulation of wooden floors requires information of the
excitation forces driving the structure. According to earlier research, it is evident, that the …

When predicting the radiation of structure-borne sound into a room, it is often assumed that
the generated sound field is diffuse. A diffuse field is by definition a random field, composed …

Lightweight floors are often troubled by poor impact-sound insulation. In order to develop
and explain structures with acceptable insulation, a deterministic prediction model was …

Timber joist floors are widely applied in residential buildings. The accurate prediction of the
sound radiated by timber joist floors is challenging due to the interaction between the …
