Modification of Watters’ Formula for Simple Aerated Concrete Walls

Abstract:

The contribution presents a mathematical modification of Watters’ formula used in modified Watters’ method. This formula expresses a dependence of sound reduction index on surface mass (mass law). On the basis of the previous research which resulted in the finding that the Watters’ method do not give acceptable results for simple walls from aerated concrete, the mentioned formula was modified to be usable for theoretical determination of sound reduction index of simple aerated concrete walls. The contribution also presents a modification of this formula for calculation of sound reduction index of simple aerated concrete walls with a plaster on both sides.
