Description for Architectural Acoustics
Hardback. Acoustical engineering applies sound and vibration theory in practical terms, addressing the manipulation and control of sound to ensure the comfort, safety and productivity of those inhabiting a particular environment. This book addresses the control of sound and vibration within enclosed spaces. Num Pages: 984 pages, Approx. 600 illustrations. BIC Classification: AMC; AMR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 197 x 242 x 43. Weight in Grams: 2102.
Architectural Acoustics, Second Edition presents a thorough technical overview of the discipline, from basic concepts to specific design advice. Beginning with a brief history, it reviews the fundamentals of acoustics, human perception and reaction to sound, acoustic noise measurements, noise metrics, and environmental noise characterization. In-depth treatment is given to the theoretical principles and practical applications of wave acoustics, sound transmission, vibration and vibration isolation, and noise transmission in floors and mechanical systems. Chapters on specific design problems demonstrate how to apply the theory, including treatment of multifamily dwellings, office buildings, rooms for speech, rooms for music, ... Read more
