A review of sound insulation in Scottish domestic construction Part 1. (2001)
Other
Smith, S., Mackenzie, R., MacKenzie, R., & Waters-Fuller, T. (2001). A review of sound insulation in Scottish domestic construction Part 1

The main aim of this research was to review the sound insulation performance, relative to Part H (Technical Standards, Scotland), for different types of construction involving party walls and floors used in Scottish housing. The study focused on s... Read More about A review of sound insulation in Scottish domestic construction Part 1..

Sound transmission through lightweight parallel plates. Part II: structure-borne sound (2000)
Journal Article
Craik, R. J. M., & Smith, S. (2000). Sound transmission through lightweight parallel plates. Part II: structure-borne sound. Applied Acoustics, 61(2), 247-269. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-682X%2899%2900071-7

In Part I of this paper sound transmission through double leaf lightweight partitions was examined. It was shown that an important part of the overall transmission is determined by structure-borne sound transmission between the two leaves of the wall...

Sound transmission through double leaf lightweight partitions part I: airborne sound (2000)
Journal Article
Craik, R. J. M., & Smith, S. (2000). Sound transmission through double leaf lightweight partitions part I: airborne sound. Applied Acoustics, 61(2), 223-245. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-682X%2899%2900070-5

Statistical energy analysis (SEA) is used to model sound transmission through double leaf lightweight partitions. It is found that the best SEA model depends on the frequency range considered and the method of construction. At low frequencies the wal...

An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme. (1999)
Journal Article
Smith, S., Pompoli, R., & Fausti, P. (1999). An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme. Building Acoustics, 6(3), 187-210. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351010991501400

In an inter-laboratory test programme (ILT) for the measurement of airborne sound insulation of lightweight walls, reproducibility values of up to 12dB were obtained from the sound reduction index measured in 21 participating laboratories. These high... Read More about An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme..

Sound transmission through hollow brick walls (1999)
Journal Article
Fringuellino, M., & Smith, S. (1999). Sound transmission through hollow brick walls. Building Acoustics, 6(3), 211-224. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351010991501419

Hollow bricks and blocks are one of the most common forms of material used for wall construction found in Central and Southern Europe. The principle purpose of the perforations (holes) is to increase the thermal insulation properties. As a result of... Read More about Sound transmission through hollow brick walls.

An inter-comparison of laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of lightweight plasterboard walls. (1999)
Journal Article
Pompoli, R., Fausti, P., & Smith, S. (1999). An inter-comparison of laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of lightweight plasterboard walls. Building Acoustics, 6(2), 127-140. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351010991501329

This paper describes the results of the European Inter-Laboratory Test (ILT) program, conducted for the determination of repeatability and reproducibility values for the laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of walls. A total of 24 lab... Read More about An inter-comparison of laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of lightweight plasterboard walls..
