This study attempted to develop repetitive impact sources similar to real-life floor impact noise and to find an assessment approach corresponding to this new impact source. The necessity for the development of the new impact source arises from the fact that issues related to floor impact noise in actual residential buildings mainly stem from children running. However, the standard impact sources which have been used for measuring and evaluating floor impact noise are of single-impulse type, which differs from the actual problematic impact sources. The study encompassed 18 evaluation items, and the results suggest that items applicable for assessing floor impact noise include psychological effects (annoying, becoming angry), disturbances to daily life (interference with sleep, disruption of relaxation), and physiological effects (elevated blood pressure). These items can be employed individually and, depending on the type of evaluation for floor impact noise, can be selectively utilized. By doing so, more comprehensive evaluations of auditory experiments in laboratories or assessments of residential noise in living environments related to floor impact noise could be conducted.

Constituents of timber framed floor affect the insulation performance against impact sound significantly. Among them, installation of massive sound absorbing layer and reinforcement of stiffness of timber floor have been considered as major factors that improve the insulation performance against impact sound. Researches on evaluating the effect of floor constitutions have been carried out through the field measurements for timber framed buildings in Korea. It is concluded that the impact sound pressure level at the relatively lower frequency governs the overall insulation performance, and can be improved by the installation of sound absorbing layer and reinforcement of floor stiffness. Especially, the insulation performance against heavy impact sound was improved significantly when the massive cement mortar layer for floor heating system was installed and the stiffness was reinforced by shortening the joist span using additional beam at the mid-position of original span.

The present study aims to investigate the influence of the water to binder ratio of finishing mortar on the floor impact sound of apartments. For this, same resilient materials Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) with constant dynamic stiffness and different mortar layers with 52 %, 66 % and 72 % water to binder ratio respectively were used to build floating floor structures on which floor impact sounds were measured in standard testing facilities. As a result, it was found that light-weight floor impact sound was transmitted well when the water to binder ratio was 52% due to the high density. In case of heavy-weight floor impact sounds, since water to binder ratio of finishing mortar becomes higher as the weight of upper layer of resilient material lighter, it was shown that the natural frequency of floating floor structure moves to 63 Hz bandwidth which eventually cause a higher sound pressure level of floor impact sound. Thus, effect of water to binder ratio of mortar on the heavy-weight floor impact sounds was investigated.

다목적 공간 및 공연장은 공연 또는 강연을 위한 공간뿐만 아니라 상점, 식당 및 체육 공간 등 다양한 용도의 공간이 인접되고 있다. 다양한 공간이 인접할 경우 기존의 다목적 공연장에서는 발생하지 않았던 다양한 소음 진동 문제들이 발생한다. 본 연구는 강연 및 공연을 위한 다목적 공간 상부에 식당 및 체육 시설로 활용되는 공간이 배치되어 바닥충격음 문제가 발생할 가능성이 있었다. 바닥충격음의 강당으로의 전달을 차단하기 위하여 기본 구조체에 대한 바닥충격음 차단성능을 측정하여 적절한 저감 대책을 수립하였다. 저감대책으로는 상층부 철골 슬래브와 강당의 철골 구조의 구조적 분리, 유연한 마감재 적용, 슬래브로의 충격진동 차단을 위한 제진재 적용, 이중천장 구조 및 천장내부 흡음구조 형성 등의 종합적인 대책을 수립하였다. 이를 통해 경량충격음 및 중량충격음을 효율적으로 차단하였다. 또한 강당 공간은 강연 및 집회의 공간으로 활용될 수 있도록 하기 위하여 적절한 잔향시간 및 음성 명료도 확보가 필요하다. 플러터 에코, 과도한 잔향시간, 음의 사각지대 등을 최소화하기 위하여 측벽 형태 개선, 천장 반사판 형태를 개선하였다. 또한 측벽에서 진동 등의 영향으로 발생되는 떨림현상을 억제하기 위하여 측벽 내부를 흡음재로 충전하는 등의 대책을 수립하여 적용하였다.

In Japan, bang machine has been considered to have problems about not only the impact force and frequency response which are different from the real impact sources such as children's jumping and running, but also damage in the wooden structure housing. Therefore, a new impactor for lower impact force to prevent demage in wooden structure housing was developed. The impact ball was adopted as the second standard impact source in JIS A 1418-2 and ISO 140-11. In the present study, floor impact sounds generated by impact ball with drop heights in four floors of mock-up building of Building Research Institute (BRI) similar to typical Japanese wooden structure housing were investigated and also compared to jumping sound. The results show that Impact ball sound dropped at 10 cm to 30 cm was most similar to jumping sound. And The impact sound levels at 250 and 500 Hz were more sensitive to drop height than other lower frequencies. The error that may occur from the difference of height of 10 cm up and down based on the standard drop height caused by the impact ball operated by human hands was approx. 1 dB or less only in its value of characteristic, but it must be carefully taken into Impact ball in the Korea Standard.

The purpose of this study is to reconsider the rating method for the floor impact sound insulation performance in current criterion. Although there are some arguments about proper standard heavy impact source with reproducibility of actual impact source in residence building, bang machine is adopted as the only standard heavy impact source in domestic criterion. To inspect the rating methods of evaluation criteria, this study conducted vibration test for both of standard heavy impact sources and actual impact sources. Using the test results, the floor impact sound insulation performance levels were assessed by each of several criteria. In addition, low frequency noise beyond current criteria was evaluated. Consequently, the floor impact sound levels have different performance levels according to adopted criteria, and measured floor impact sounds are bound to annoy the neighbors in the low frequency range. Current criteria does not consider the spectrum characteristics of floor impact sound according to impact sources and low frequency noise. This may cause the difference between the floor impact sound insulation performance level and human perception. Thus current criterion needs to be complemented to reflect the spectrum characteristics of floor impact sound levels according to impact sources and sound pressure levels in low frequency range.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of viscoelastic properties(or chemical composition) of a series of ethylen-viny1 acetate copolymers on impact noise and vibration damping of wood/polymer/wood sandwich composites. The impact noise and vibration damping of composites were very sensitive to the state of molecular motion of polymer. The noise and vibration damping of composites were maximum when the polymer was under the glass transition(vinylacetate 55~75%) at the test-temperature, and minimum rubbery state(vinyl-acetate 47~20%) or glassy state(vinylacetate 100~87%). The polymer under glass transition reduced the impact noise by 6~12 dB.

Floor coverings and Mats are for children are economical and has excellent workability, as well as they can reduce floor impact noise effective. "When these floorings contact to impact source, they are deformed and change impact force characteristics that strikes floor structure. It is important to measure the impact force spectrum of floorings in order to evaluate reduction of floor impact noise for floorings. In experimental test of floor impact noise and impact force for 14 PVC vinyl floor coverings and 16 mats for children, we confirmed that the impact force spectrum directly related to the floor impact noise spectrum.

단열 완충재의 하부단면에서 양각 형태가 전체 면적에서 .차지하는 비율에 따라 진동 충격음 저감량을 실험하였다. 양각 형태가 차지하는 비율이 높더라도 진동 충격음 저감량에는 큰 성능을 나타내지 않았다. 바닥 구조에서 슬래브와 상판 사이에 단열완충재를 설치할 경우 중량 충격음이 오히려 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이것은 뜬 바닥 구조에서 완충재의 설치로 인하여 슬래브와 상판간의 거동이 다르게 발생하기 때문이다.
