Building Acoustics (Tor Erik Vigran).pdf

Building Acoustics

Building or architectural acoustics is taken in this book to cover all aspects of sound

and vibration in buildings. The book covers room acoustics but the main emphasis is

on sound insulation and sound absorption and the basic aspects of noise and vibration

problems connected to service equipment and external sources. Measuring techniques

connected to these

l the demands of building regulations.

It gives emphasis to the acoustical performance of buildings as derived from the

performance of the elements comprising various structures. Consequently, the physical

aspects of sound transmission and absorption need to be understood, and the main

focus is on the design of elements and structures to provide high sound insulation and

high absorbing power. Examples are taken from all types of buildings. The book aims

at giving an understanding of the physical principles involved and three chapters are

therefore devoted to vibration phenomena and sound waves in

uids and solid media.

Subjective aspects connected to sound and sound perception is su

ciently covered by

other books; however, the chapter on room acoustics includes descriptions of measures

that quantify the

“

acoustic quality

”

of rooms for speech and music.

Tor Erik Vigran is professor emeritus at the Norwegian University of Science and

Technology, Head of the Acoustic Committee of Standards Norway, the Norwegian

standardization organization, and member of several working groups within ISO/TC 43

and CEN/TC 126.

neering studies and is also valuable as a guide for practitioners and acoustic con-

sultants who need to ful
