| Abstract: | The paper presents
various design aspects based on exhaustive review of previous studies done so
far and presents a database and design aspects of sandwich material
combinations for applications in building elements, including various wall and roof
constructions to combat traffic and aircraft noise. The
paper includes a series of laboratory experiments carried out in Reverberation
chambers at NPL for characterizing the sound insulation properties of sandwich
dry wall partition panels in conjunction with the laboratory results published
on masonry and drywall sandwich constructions by various researchers. The work
provides an extensive database and physical understanding of theoretical
phenomena proposed in previous studies for design and development of better
sound insulative sandwich drywall constructions for their applications in
building facades, walls, ceilings and doors for abatement of traffic and
aircraft noise in Delhi city and tries to assimilate all the design guidelines
in a cause and effect analysis diagram. The present work also envisages the
significance and need of stricter building regulations w.r.t sound insulation
of building elements for new residential projects planned especially in
vicinity to airport or road traffic in India. |
