Prediction on Coupling Loss Factors of Building Members

Article Preview

Abstract:

Coupling Loss Factor (CLF) is a parameter describing building sound loss, which can be stand for energy loss in the process of crossing the structure. A low value of CLF refers to the high insulation performance of building member. Therefore, reducing the coupling loss is a favorable way to improve the sound insulation. For the purpose of exploring the relationship between the properties of building materials and CLF, the commonly used building materials are selected to analyze. It is indicated that the properties of building material have obvious effects on the CLF. As the consequence, some predictions and analysis are carried out in this paper.
