@inproceedings { , title = {Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings.}, abstract = {The standard method of sound insulation testing in dwellings is pre-completion testing of separating walls and floors during the building process. The main disadvantage of this method is that if these structures fail to comply with building standards requirements, the remedial works should be conducted which may require additional costs and time spent. In 2004 the Robust Details Scheme as an alternative method to pre-completion testing was introduced in England and Wales. Robust Details scheme guarantees the performance complying with Building Standards and includes the description of the building process of the constructions, their flanking details, recommended materials and so on. Each construction is tested on real sites by RD inspectors, which are appointed acoustic measurement contractors. The scheme RD is also included within the Code for Sustainable Homes introduced in UK in 2007}, conference = {XX Session of the Russian Accoustical Society}, note = {Conference dates: October 2008 School: isc}, organization = {Moscow, Russia}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4739}, keyword = {729 Design & decoration, TH Building construction, Sound insulation, testing, quality control, building standards, Robust Details Scheme, accoustic measurement;}, year = {2024}, author = {Prokofieva, Elena and Smith, Sean} }
