Technical Note: Impact Sound Reduction for Cross-Linked and Non-Cross-Linked Polyethylene Foams in Suspended Concrete Floor Structures
The acoustic behaviour of two building systems, a traditional concrete structure and an innovative one involving expanded polystyrene (EPS) elements have been compared using field measurements. The results indicate that the airborne sound insulation is very similar for both construction methods, whereas impact sound insulation is better for the innovative system.
The improvement obtained by introducing polyethylene foams in floating floor constructions has also been investigated for the EPS system using field measurements. Also, the impact sound insulation improvement obtained with two different polyethylene foams has also been analysed by performing laboratory experiments. Whilst both materials are adequate for this application, results indicate that the non cross-linked foam has a better performance.
