Abstract
The desire of the building developers to leave the surfaces of cross laminated timber constructions in multi-story housings visible for the building user, leads to acoustic problems with the flanking sound transmission that cannot be controlled by means of wall linings. As a result, controlling flanking sound transmission by measures directly in the joint is getting increasingly important. The main parameter for describing the vibrational power transmission over a junction between structural elements is the vibration reduction index Kij. For this quantity, some planning values are spread over numerous publications. None of the currently available data sources represents a holistic view on the building acoustic performance of the on the market available products for elastic interlayers and fasteners which are used in a wall-ceiling junction. The following paper shows results of measurements of vibration reduction indexes of different configurations of a wall-ceiling joint in a test facility. Different elastic interlayers and fasteners were investigated. The vibration reduction indexes spread from 16db to 26dB as a function of the joint configuration and the load applied on the joint. The measurement results obtained are discussed and the essential parameters for influencing the flanking sound transmission are worked out and quantified.
