High quality acoustic and vibration performance of lightweight steel constructions

Objective

Lightweight construction is often perceived to be inferior to heavy weight concrete or masonry construction. It is, however, increasingly competitive for housing, residential buildings, hospitals, and for façades and modular units in buildings of all types.

The determining factors in the decision to use lightweight construction are its acoustic and vibration performance. In this study, both experimental and modern numerical methods will be utilised to produce specifications how to design acoustically and in vibration means convenient lightweight steel constructions.

The project will equip engineers with the design guidance they need to carry out realistic assessments of the advantages and disadvantages of different structural solutions. In many cases, the use of lightweight steel will lead to a more cost-effective design solutions than using wood and concrete.
