Efficient and accurate numerical tools for predicting the vibroacoustic behaviour of wooden multi-storey buildings are lacking nowadays. The variability that a natural material as wood possesses, makes it difficult to accurately predict and model its behaviour. Likewise, construction details such as junctions and connections between structural elements play an important role in the dynamic respons
This paper deals with a certain type of C.L.T. (Cross Laminated Timber) construction, in a residential building in Fristad, Sweden. The objective is to study impact noise transmission, at the lower frequency range (10-200 Hz), where wooden dwellings perform inefficiently, in terms of acoustic quality. The vibrational behavior of lightweight structures and specifically a multilayered floor separati
The project "Silent Timber Build" will develop new prediction tools for timber structures. There are several challenges that have to be overcome to provide a full prediction tool. The differences in weight, stiffness and density for wooden structures compared to traditional, heavy and more homogeneous structural material have repercussions on how the sound propagates throughout the structures, aff
