Sound transmission in buildings with elastic layers at joints

Applied Acoustics, 1996
Abstract The influence of elastic layers (ELs) at junctions between walls and floor slabs on airborne and structure-borne sound transmission in buildings is investigated. For this aim, we carried out measurements on scale models with ELs at the joints. The results were compared with the predictions of the statistical energy analysis model. This model

Joint appointments: another dimension to building bridges

Nurse Education Today, 2001
For many years nurse education has been under close scrutiny, with particular focus on the links between what is taught in the classroom and what is practised. Since the onset of the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing and Midwifery's Project 2000: A new preparation for practice, concerns have been raised over the potential for an even greater ...

Build the Foundation for a Successful Joint Venture

Journal of Business Strategy, 1991
The time to structure these fragile business arrangements is before they begin. With joint ventures, planners find success in the design studio, not in the repair shop.

Movement During Cure of Latex Building Joint Sealants

1996
The level of performance of high performance building joint sealants clearly diminishes if during cure, the joint in which sealant is placed, undergoes cyclic movement. However, it is less well known the degree to which the movement capability is adversely affected.

An accelerated exposure and testing apparatus for building joint sealants

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2013
The design, fabrication, and implementation of a computer-controlled exposure and testing apparatus for building joint sealants are described in this paper. This apparatus is unique in its ability to independently control and monitor temperature, relative humidity, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and mechanical deformation.

Multiparameter joint tomography for TTI model building

GEOPHYSICS, 2011
Model building for tilted transversely isotropic media has commonly been performed by a single parameter tomography that updates the velocity in the symmetry direction, while the orientation of the symmetry axis and Thomsen parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are typically estimated from the migration stack and well data ...

Evaluating development programs: building joint activity

Evaluation and Program Planning, 2001
Abstract There has been an increasing plea for a participatory approach to development programs. It is argued that for programs to be sustainable, they need to be conceptualized, negotiated and run by all stakeholders jointly. Concurrent with this trend, there has been an increasing demand for program evaluation strategies, which encompass an ...

Some Consideration of Joints in the Building System

1984
Construction joints, control joints, and movement joints are joints required for building the structure. The remainder of the joints in buildings might be described as architectural joints placed for the convenience of the architect or builder in limiting the size of building components for visual or functional reasons. All joints are separated joints,

Computing exposure of wall joints in prefabricated buildings

Building Research and Practice, 1974
Industrialised building methods have highlighted the problem of weathertight joints, especially in conditions of driving rain. The chief of the Tbilisi Zone Research and Design Institute of the USSR Laboratory of Building Protection from Atmospheric Exposure outlines methods developed at the Institute to establish the parameters relevant to particular ...

Destruction of Sealant in Building Envelope Joints by Birds

2009
Sealant in joints in the exterior envelope on a building is intended to reduce water entry and air infiltration through the joints and to accommodate movements. Openings in sealant joints can result in water leakage and air infiltration through the joints into the interior of the building.
