Sound and vibration transmission through lightweight junctions: Numerical investigation and validation by laboratory tests.

摘要

Lightweight building concepts are gaining increasing interest amongst architects, engineers and manufactures due to several advantages. Obviously, lightweight concepts can offer a sustainable solution in several ways. The amount of required resources is smaller compared to traditional concepts and materials can optionally be re-used. Transportation costs and building times are reduced. Adjustment of existing dwelling is more easily adopted to the changing needs.
