Design Guide 30: Sound Isolation and Noise Control in Steel Buildings

 

The new AISC Design Guide 30, Sound Isolation and Noise Control in Steel Buildings provides the design team with readily accessible background information and with guidance aimed at achieving acoustical conditions suitable for a building’s planned occupancies. It also discusses sound isolation in detail - including the related metrics, effects of structural parameters and acoustical treatments, the effects of "weak links" such as acoustically inappropriate windows and gaps at doors, and the isolation performance of wall configurations that are widely used in steel buildings.
