Benchmarking the vibration velocity-based measurement methods to determine the radiated sound power from floor elements under impact excitation
Conta, Simone; Santoni, Andrea; Homb, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Rayleigh Integral Method, the Integral Transform Method and the Discrete Calculation Method are all vibration velocity-based measurement methods to determine the radiated sound power from planar objects. Even though ... -
Comparative analysis of the sound conditions at the neonatal intensive care units of two Norwegian hospitals
Løvald, Sarah Margrethe; Conta, Simone (Chapter, 2024)Excessive sound levels of preterm infants may contribute to negative physiological effects. Yet, recommended sound level limits are consistently exceeded at neonatal intensive care units (NICU), both inside and outside of ... -
Laboratory test method to determine noise from wastewater installation
Conta, Simone; Homb, Anders (Chapter, 2022)We are working on a project which aims at improving sewage pipe material and piping system to reduce the radiated noise. One challenge we faced initially was to identify a suitable experimental method that fulfilled following ... -
Sound insulation properties of hollow box timber floors: a summary
Conta, Simone; Homb, Anders (Chapter, 2024)Hollow-box timber floors are an efficient constructive option when long span is required. The industry has a strong interest in timber long span floors because they are a mean to make wooden constructions competitive in ... -
Sound insulation properties of single and double CLT walls
Homb, Anders; Conta, Simone (Chapter, 2024)Cross laminated timber (CLT) elements have rapidly gained in popularity in Norway and other European countries. Experimental data and improved engineering tools are essential for the development of sustainable solutions. ... -
Sound radiation of hollow box timber floors under impact excitation: An experimental parameter study
Conta, Simone; Homb, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The timber building industry is developing building systems for urban buildings with open architecture based on long span floor systems. Span length can be increased with constant cross section by combining stiff floor ... -
Structural reverberation time measurements on WOODSOL prototype
Conta, Simone; Simon, Ulrich; Homb, Anders (Chapter; Conference object, 2019)The WOODSOL research project aims at developing urban timber buildings based on moment resisting frames. One of the key aspects when dealing with the sound insulation in the building system is the flanking sound transmission ... -
Timber hollow-box floors: Sound insulation measurement results and analysis
Homb, Anders; Conta, Simone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We performed measurements of the sound reduction index and impact sound pressure level for a range of lightweight floating floors installed on a hollow-box timber floor. The measurements were performed in the laboratory ...
