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

The growing diffusion of cross-laminated timber structures (CLT) has been accompanied by
extensive research on the peculiar characteristics of this construction system, mainly …

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

This paper presents an analysis of the vibroacoustic characteristics of Cross-Laminated
Timber (CLT) panels using a Wave and Finite Element (WFE) method. Two WFE modelling …

Buildings constructed with cross-laminated timber (CLT) are increasing in interest in several
countries. Since CLT is a sustainable product, it can help the building industry to reduce …

The acoustic modelling of timber constructions is a major concern since wood construction
technology has started to tackle multi-storey buildings. The recent update of the EN ISO …

This study aimed to understand the annoyance provoked by the combination of impact and
airborne sound sources from neighbours in wooden residential buildings. Footsteps (adult …

In this paper two prediction models to evaluate the radiation efficiency of orthotropic plates,
developed with different approaches, are presented. A sound radiation model, based on an …

Abstract Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) has gained an increasing success and widespread
diffusion among wood products. Due to the novelty of the components and the dry …

Several models to compute the sound reduction index of a building partition, based on
different approaches, can be found in the literature. Building construction involves a great …
