Resilient bars provide cheap, effective sound insulation. They are increasingly popular in timber floor/ceiling assemblies in the UK following the upgrading of Building Regulations requirements. However, the behaviour mechanisms providing resilient b... Read More about Structure-borne sound transmission through resiliently suspended ceilings in timber frame floors.

Project SONos: smoking outdoors and noise survey. (2009)
Report
Smith, S., & Lothian, S. (2009). Project SONos: smoking outdoors and noise survey

Background to Project
Following the smoking ban in March 2006, complaints were received by local authorities from residents in relation to being disturbed by noise as a result of smokers congregating outside. The aim of Project SONoS is to identify... Read More about Project SONos: smoking outdoors and noise survey..

EC5 - Deformation and creep of timber structures (2009)
Journal Article
Porteous, J., & Kermani, A. (2009). EC5 - Deformation and creep of timber structures. The structural engineer : journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers, 87, 25-30

With timber or wood-based structures, deformation rather than strength behaviour will commonly be the limiting factor in design and as such, a lack of understanding of design requirements may lead to under or over-designed timber members and connecti...
