Theme Area T16Vibration Serviceability of Structures and Buildings




James Talbot
Send an email

The construction industry faces significant challenges as it aims to meet the demand for more economical, low-carbon structures. Stronger, lighter, and more efficient structures, the increased use of timber and the more effective use of existing urban sites are all helping to meet this demand, but this is at the expense of structures that are more prone to vibration. Structures become livelier under the action of wind, vehicles, and human-induced loading; buildings suffer from ground-borne vibration and re-radiated noise; and designs increasingly struggle to meet the more demanding standards governing noise and vibration that are essential for occupant well-being, productivity, and the operation of sensitive processes. Vibration performance is now often a governing design criterion that dictates structural form and cost. This theme aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working within this broad area of Vibration Serviceability, with the aim of highlighting recent advances in our understanding, knowledge and the analysis and design tools in this rapidly developing area. Papers are invited in: Vibration Control of Civil Engineering Structures; Human-Structure Interaction; Ground-borne Vibration Mitigation in Buildings; Soil-Structure Interaction.

Theme Area T17Acoustic and Thermal Retrofit of Buildings

It is well known that traditional thermal insulation does not protect from noise pollution but, quite often, improvements of thermal performance in building facades result in a reduction of the acoustic performances. Additionally, there is a high risk that thermally convenient solutions are acoustically inconvenient, especially in renovation projects, because light-weight materials are usually applied in this case. Unfortunately, such materials have, by default, poor sound-insulating properties especially at low frequencies. Along with the Green Deal initiative, it is then of importance to also tackle the issue of acoustic performances. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Western Europe alone at least 1.6 million healthy years of life are lost because of noise exposure, and environmental noise features among the top risks to physical and mental health in Europe. The United Nations (UN) estimates that by 2050 about 68% of the world's population will likely live in cities resulting in noise polluted areas. The aim of this session is to apply an interdisciplinary approach addressing sustainable acoustic and thermal aspects joint in sustainable solutions able to generate realistic and practical approaches for next generation retrofit of buildings. Any paper featuring aspects considered in the MSCA ActaReBuid project (https://actarebuild.eu/) are welcome as well.

This theme explores how people interact with their sonic environment. The structured sessions investigate the multifaceted influences of sound on our daily lives, addressing ways to enhance sound quality in both indoors and outdoors. Topics include auralization techniques, psychoacoustics, indoor space comfort, occupational noise hygiene, and emerging risks. Urban soundscapes, quiet areas, and noise mapping advancements are explored, along with the health effects of sound. Furthermore, the sessions explore ways for fostering awareness, employing methods such as citizen science to actively engage the public in understanding the sonic environment. The sessions contribute to valuable insights, offering practical strategies for optimising soundscapes to improve the acoustic environments and promoting a heightened awareness of the acoustic environment.
