Design and Acoustic Performance of Building Constructions for Multi-Storey Housing: Compendium

The contribution is a chapter of the book "Building acoustics throughout Europe - Volume 1: Towards a common framework in building acoustics throughout Europe", that is the result of Cost Action TU 0901. It is aimed to: Propose harmonized descriptors for airborne and impact sound insulation. Propose a European acoustic classification scheme for dwellings. Establish a catalogue of sound insulation data for construction solutions found in the different participating countries Produce an on-line compendium on good workmanship practice. In particular, the chapter describes the acoustic performances of European typical building constructions.
