Acoustic Properties of Timber Joist Ceilings with Respects to their Response onto the Effects of Dynamic Loads

Abstract:

The paper discusses some issues connected to timber joist ceilings found not only in historical protected buildings but also in newly designed multi-storey timber based ones, with regards to their acoustic parameters perceived by the inhabitants of such objects. These problems are usually connected to the complaints of the users because of unsatisfying acoustic conditions indoors, observed mainly at low frequencies, even though the requirements given by the legislation are met. The paper with its content is a reaction to the contradiction between the results coming from measurements and subjective perception, and is complemented by structural evaluations seeking the effects of dynamic tremors and vibrations.
