Main description:
Sound insulation is an important aspect of building performance. The increasing emphasis on sound insulation in building codes and regulations means there is a need for a deeper understanding in the physics of sound insulation and clear guidance on it practical application in buildings.
This book covers fundamental theory relating to sound, vibration, measurement and prediction. It will enable the reader to tackle a wide range of practical issues relating to sound insulation during the design and construction stages, and to solve problems in existing buildings. The fundamentals of sound and vibration are introduced with examples clearly showing the application and relevance to various parts of a building.
The acoustic profession is well served throughout Europe by a number of national acoustics associations. In the UK there are 2,700 members of the Institute of Acoustics, but many other building professionals without acoustic qualifications will find the book a source of important information, such as architects, manufacturers of building materials and building engineers.
- Written in line with the most recent ISO and EN standards for sound transmission
- Explains the concepts needed to interpret, understand and use guidance documents, regulations and standards
- Written by Part E draftsman, technical advisor and one of the UK's leading experts on sound transmission in buildings
