Vibration reduction indices of CLT junctions

  • The multi-disciplinary research project “Vibroacoustic analysis in the planning process of timber constructions“ carried out in cooperation between the University of Applied Sciences Rosenheim, the ift Rosenheim and the Technical University Munich is a comprehensive study of direct as well as flanking structure-borne and airborne sound insulation of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) elements and their junctions. The aim is to optimize and simplify the acoustical planning process of wooden multi-storey buildings and thereby to contribute to the increase growth of timber construction industry in Europe. For a prediction of the acoustical performance of solid wood constructions, the vibration reduction index Kij is needed. The vibration reduction index can be determined i.a. of the direction-averaged junction velocity level difference and the structural reverberation time. Both quantities need to be measured according to EN ISO 10848. Alternatively, vibration reduction indices for a T- or cross-junction can be derived following the procedures described in prEN ISO 12354-1:2016. However, further knowledge and data of the sound transmission across junctions of CLT is inevitable for a reliable prediction. In this paper a collection of frequency dependent vibration reduction indices for CLT structures will be presented and compared, involving L-, T- and cross-junctions measured by six international laboratories.
