The KS of “Measurements of impact sound insulation of floors” was established before the years. But the KS of “Rating of floor impact sound insulation for impact source in building and of building elements” is not founded yet. To establish the rating measurement of floor impact sound insulation. The studies on the rating method of domestic floor system of impact sound insulation and response of its inhabitant’s were reviewed. And the rating method of ISO’s and JIS’s were studied in this consideration. The result of this study, KS of “Rating of floor impact sound insulation for impact source in building and of building elements” is proposed.

This study is to explore floor impact sound and sound insulation of reinforced concrete structure with void-deck slab system which combines polystyrene void foam and T-shaped steel deck plate. A void-deck slab system can effectively reduce the amount of concrete used and hence the mass of a reinforced concrete slab. Also void slab system has dynamically favorable for bending. Three-bay 2-story building was constructed as a mock up test specimen using void-deck slab system and floor impact sound was measured to valuate sound insulation performance. Light weight floor impact and heavy weight floor impact were investigated. Light weight floor impact pressure levels were 32dB, 28dB, and 29db at representative locations which are $1^{st}$ level in the floor impact sound insulation performance grading system. The heavy-weight floor impact pressure levels were 44dB, 45dB, and 43dB at representative locations which are $2^{nd}$ level in the floor impact sound insulation performance grading system. Therefore void-deck slab system can be used in public housing apartment building in terms of not only effectively reduced construction materials but also floor impact sound insulation.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the correlation of single-number ratings for sound insulation by floor impact. As a assessment method of impact sound insulation. we selected the IIC contour of ISO, A weighted sound level. Inverse A-weighting curve and L-Index of japanese industrial standard. And we estimated the single-number ratings by application the measured data of impact sound level to each method. The results showed that the coefficients of determination between each two single-number ratings were very high (more than 0.9169). And In the condition of same assessment method, the coefficient of determination for light-weight impact sound was higher than that for heavy-weight impact sound.

Generally the ceiling frame of apartment house is made of wood. But the wood frame has several problems due to the natural properties such as distortion by shrink, low fire resistance and material loss in the construction field. And it has some defections in sound insulation performance. Therefore it is necessary to develop a new method that can be used as a ceiling frame. This study aims to analyze and to compare the sound insulation characteristics against the floor impact sound between wood ceiling frame and M-bar frame which is made of steel. The results of this study are like these. M-bar frame is more effective than wood ceiling frame in sound insulation. And sound absorbing or sound insulation materials which can be Put on gypsum board are helpful to improve floor impact sound insulation performance.

In this study, the floor impact sound insulation performance of Korean domestic Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) slabs was evaluated according to their joint types, species and thicknesses in laboratory experiments. The sound insulation performance of the CLT has not been investigated before, thus, this study was conducted to quantify basic data on floor impact sound insulation performance of CLT slabs. 5-ply and 150 mm thick CLT panels made of 2 species, Larix kaempferi and Pinus densiflora, were used for the study. The CLT panels were assembled by 3 types of inter-panel joints to form floor slabs: spline, butt and half-lap. And the 150 mm thick Larix CLT slabs were stacked to the thicknesses of 300 mm and 450 mm. The heavy-weight floor impact sound insulation performance of the 150 mm CLT slabs were evaluated to be 70 dB for the Larix slabs and 71.6 dB for the Pinus slabs, and the light-weight floor impact sound insulation performance, 78.3 dB and 79.6 dB, respectively. No significant difference in the sound insulation performance was found between the slabs of the 2 species or among the 3 types of joints. The reduction of 1 dB in the heavy-weight floor impact sound and 1.6 dB in the light-weight floor impact sound per 30 mm increase in thickness were confirmed through the experiments. This study can be viewed as the basic research for the evaluation of floor impact sound insulation performance of CLT.

In order to find out impact insulation properties, various types of current radiant floor heating systems and light-framed floors that are used in light-framed residential buildings were evaluated for two types of impact sources at the same time. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) was different from each impact sources for those spectrum patterns and peaks. In case of light-framed floor framework, the excitation position and the assumed effective vibrating area have effects on sound pressure level but it is not considerable, and Normalized SPL was reduced for each frequency by increasing the bending rigidity of joist. The mortar layer in the radiant heating system had relatively high density and high impedance, therefore, it distributed much of the impact power when it was excited, and reduced the Normalized SPL considerably. Nevertheless, Increasing a thickness of mortar layer had little influence on SPL. Ceiling components reduced the sound pressure level about 5~25 dB for each frequency. Namely, it had excellent sound insulation properties in a range from 200 to 4,000 Hz frequency for both heavy and lightweight impact sources. Also, there was a somewhat regular sound insulation pattern for each center frequency. The resilient channel reduced the SPL about 2~11 dB, irrelevant to impact source. Consequently, current radiant floor heating systems which were established in light-framed residential buildings have quite good impact sound insulation properties for both impact sources.

Recently the impact sound insulation performance is regarded as one of the most import factors in determining the quality of housing environment. In order to reduce the impact sound level transmitted through the floors and structures, establishing the standard level of impact sound insulation performance is needed. In this consideration, The effecting facts for the standard insulation level is reviewed.

Fire resistance and impact sound insulation tests were performed for a floor assembly, of which stiffness was reinforced by shortening the span of floor joists by installing glulam beam additionally in the middle or one thirds of the original span, and which an additional ceiling component was installed apart from floor structure. By applying the isolated ceiling, timber framed floor showed 1 hour of fire resistance even in case that dead load was increased by considering cement mortar layer for radiant floor heating. Insulation performance against light and heavy impact sound was improved significantly by applying the sound absorbing layer of big mass and high elasticity in addition to the stiffness improvement and isolated ceiling.

This treatise measures and estimate sound insulation performance of apartment house. Sound insulation performance measured to the floor and wall. Measurement object is apartment occupancy ago of 100㎡ scale built to higher story in Taegu city. Floor Slav's light impact sound level interception performance interacted by benevolent person who carrying out availability of finish material important. Floor Slav's heavy impact sound level interception performance amounted estimation by being good more or less then light impact sound level interception performance. Because sound insulation performance of partition between adjoined generation is gad seldom, privacy infringement becomes anticipation. There was discussion about these results, and presented various kinds future research task to prove sound insulation performance of apartment house.
