There are several types of CLT constructions which are commercially available in Canada, but this study only focused on CLT panels that have adhesive between the faces of the timber elements in adjacent layers, but no adhesive bonding the adjacent timber elements within a given layer. There were noticeable gaps (up to 3 mm wide) between some of the timber elements comprising each layer of the CLT assembly. These CLT panels could be called “Face-Laminated CLT Panels” but are simply referred to as CLT panels in this Report. Another form of CLT panels has adhesive between the faces of the timber elements in adjacent layers as well as adhesive to bond the adjacent timber elements within a given layer. These are referred to as “Fully-Bonded CLT Panels” in this Report. Because fully-bonded CLT panels have different properties than face-laminated CLT panels, the sound transmission data and predictions in this Report do not apply to fully-bonded CLT panels.

T1 - Inverse Method to Obtain Blocked Forces of Vibrating Sound Sources in Buildings JF - Acta Acustica united with Acustica N2 - Vibrating sources, such as building service equipment, are major contributors to noise in buildings. In order to predict and subsequently reduce the sound pressure levels generated by these devices, it is necessary to first predict the total vibrational power injected by them into the supporting building structure. Whilst simplified methods are available for the calculation of the total power through all contacts, it would be beneficial to have more detailed knowledge of the dominant contact powers. For sources on low-mobility building elements, the contact powers are determined by the blocked force, along with the real part of the receiver mobility at each contact. This paper describes a novel inverse method to obtain the blocked forces at each contact. The method employs an instrumented reception plate, which is numerically modelled to allow optimum accelerometer positions to be selected, for any source and any location. The underlying theory and measurement procedure are described, and experimental validations are presented.

This first edition contains mainly data for loadbearing steel framing formed from sheet steel with thickness from 1.37 mm (16 gauge) to 0.94 mm (20 gauge). Non-loadbearing CFS studs formed from thinner steel (nominally 0.54 mm) are also commonly used but these are not included in the data tables for sound transmission through wall assemblies in this Report.

This Report presents two types of experimental data for wood-framed constructions: - Test data for direct sound transmission through typical wood-framed wall assemblies and wood-framed floor assemblies, plus a summary of trends for such constructions and references to compilations of additional data - Test data for flanking sound transmission measured following the procedures of ISO 10848 for coupled wall/floor junctions and wall/wall junctions Worked examples for calculating the apparent sound transmission class (ASTC) rating between adjacent dwelling units are presented to illustrate how the experimental data can be applied.
