Course Description
Basic properties of sound waves and propagation of sound in a physical environment. Behaviour of building elements under a sound affect, sound transmission paths in buildings, calculation of air - borne and structure borne sound transmission loses and measurement procedures. Analysis of sound transmission characteristics of building elements: design, construction and materials. Criteria for sound transmission loses (required noise reductions) in related with the function of the building - recommendations for the noise control by law. Design of building elements to be able to provide a sufficient sound insulation
