Forest and Wood Products Australia Project PN04.2005: maximising impact sound resistance of timber framed floor/ceiling systems

Chung, H; Emms, G; Dodd, G; Schmid, G; McGunnigle, K (Forest & Wood Products Australia Limited (FWPA), 2007)

This project further developed existing Australasian and overseas research to produce floor/ceiling systems for floors having acoustic properties which are comparable with concrete floor constructions, while also meeting ...
Lightweight floor/ceiling systems with improved impact sound insulation

Chung, H; Fox, C; Dodd, G; Emms, G (The New Zealand Acoustical Society, 2010)

Contrary to common belief, a relatively simple and practical lightweight timber based floor/ceiling can have impact sound insulation superior to that of concrete slab based systems. This paper presents examples of such ...
Vibration reduction in lightweight floor/ceiling systems with a sand-sawdust damping layer

Chung, H; Emms, G (The Australian Acoustical Society, 2014)

This paper shows how to use a mathematical model to predict the vibration of lightweight timber-framed floor/ceiling systems (LTFSs) caused by mechanical excitation. The LTFS considered here is made up of an upper floor ...
