#32 Acoustic flanking performance of mid-rise light gauge steel (LGS) structures
The project aims to develop a robust method for predicting the acoustic flanking performance of floor and wall systems in mid-rise LGS buildings. The resulting design recommendations will give the building community confidence about how to reliably design and construct LGS buildings.
Researchers on this project include: Assoc Prof Amin Heidarpour, Prof. Tuan Ngo, Prof Lu Aye, Dr Bernard Gibson.
