Concrete is the most common building material; therefore, when designing structures, it is
obligatory to consider all structural parameters and design characteristics such as acoustic …

Noise is continuously treated as an annoyance to humans and indeed commotion
contamination shows up within the environment, causing inconvenience. This is likewise …

In this contribution, a review study is established in order to gather, classify and organize all
of the previous researches on the sound insulation characteristics of plate structures with …

In this study, a novel method is introduced, integrating the principles of the local resonance
bandgap (LRBG) with vibration isolation techniques to achieve broadband flexural vibration …

In this paper, a new locally resonant metamaterial (LRM) is proposed to attenuate noise and
vibration of floors in residential buildings. The band gap behavior of LRMs has recently …

Floating floors have a high potential for reducing disturbance by impact noises in dwellings,
since it greatly reduces the vibrations transmission through structures. The acoustical …

The use of pile driving techniques in urban environments demands accurate methods to
predict and mitigate the potential discomfort of residents of neighboring buildings. In this …

This paper presents a theoretical study of an inertial actuator connected to an accelerometer
by a local feedback loop for active vibration control on a floating raft. On the criterion of the …

Floating floor increases the impact sound insulation of a load bearing concrete slab but very
little is known about the subjective perception of impact sounds transmitted through floating …

Impact noise is a major sound transmission problem in concrete buildings that severely
affects the quality of life of residents. The impact insulation of a concrete floor can be …
