Restitution of the technical workshop on acoustics and vibration performance

This workshop allowed 7 experts from Austria, Sweden, Japan, Canada and France to present experimental results and new research and developments in this field.

The programme included

• 25-year history of CLT use in construction and simultaneous development of wood in multi-storey construction, example Austria.
• Introduction of CLT as an innovative building material in Japan. And dissemination of the technology for medium and high rise buildings.
• The role of laboratories in Sweden in developing new wall compositions to meet the needs of designers: innovative products, resilient supports, exposed timber, etc.
• Research in Canada on lateral transmissions and prediction methods at the building scale.
• Presentation of the “Maquette Acoustique AdivBois“, the French experimental tool at scale 1, for measuring lateral transmissions and isolations,
• Design process for walls and structural junctions, with examples of walls tested in the laboratory,
• Feedback from Sweden on the massive use of wood for housing, acoustic limitations and success in the field.
• Questions and answers

Speaker: Jean-Luc Kouyoumji, Research Engineer – Building Acoustics, FCBA
