- Analysis of the acoustical environment of classrooms in three Brazilian public schools through measurements and 3D simulationPublication . Andrade, Fernanda Horst; Ribeiro, Rodrigo Scoczynski; Braz-César, ManuelThe present study analyses the outdoor and indoor sound pressure levels (SPL) and the reverberation time (RT) measured in three Brazilian public classrooms. For the SPL, a sound level analyzer (class II) was used, and for the RT it was used a smartphone for the measurements. The sound sources were the impulses of bursting balloons and the data was processed in a MatLab toolbox (ITA-Toolbox). The classrooms were also simulated in an open source modeling software (I-SIMPA), using ray-tracing principles. Based on the results of the simulations, supported by the low-cost measurements, it was observed that the classroom didn't reach the national standards for classroom acoustics. Some improvements were designed with sustainable materials in order to reach the lower limits of the standards using the same room acoustics software. It was observed that the low-cost measurements helped on the diagnosis of classroom's acoustic issues which was also verified in the 3D simulation. This procedure showed itself as a cheap solution for classroom acoustic designs.
- Evaluating airborne sound insulation in dwellings constructed with hollow ceramic blocks under brazilian housing policiesPublication . Ribeiro, Rodrigo Scoczynski; Arnela, Marc; Braz-César, Manuel; Bosse, Rúbia Mara; Silvestro, Laura; Gidrão, Gustavo de Miranda Saleme; Kempka, Mariane; Silva, Dyorgge Alves; Czap, Marcela Maier FariasIn Brazil, there is a shortage of approximately 5.80 million residences, a challenge that intensified during the pandemic. Since 2013, there has been a mandate to implement specific performance criteria in residential constructions. However, many construction firms face difficulties in meeting these standards, especially concerning sound insulation in partition elements. This work aims to assess the airborne sound insulation performance and compliance with legal standards in new residential buildings through measurements and simulations. In particular, subsidized housing units for low-income populations are studied, which are eligible for reduced taxes on building loans. These buildings are typically made of hollow ceramic blocks with vertical perforations as separating walls, a commonly used national building material. Three buildings located in Guarapuava, a southern city in Brazil with a population of approximately 183,000 residents, were selected for this purpose. Measurements were conducted following ISO 16283-1 guidelines, whereas simulations were performed using ISO 12354-1, initially assuming a uniform plate but also exploring an alternative model that considers orthotropic behavior with analytical expressions. The calculations considered both static and dynamic moduli of elasticity. The results indicated that all the units failed to meet the specified standards. The measured (Formula presented.) values were below the required thresholds, obtaining 42 < 45 dB for Building B1, 40 < 45 dB for Building B2, and 38 < 40 dB for Building B3. The predicted (Formula presented.) values agreed well with the measured values when considering orthotropy with a dynamic elastic modulus. However, discrepancies were observed in the spectral analysis, especially at lower and higher frequencies. The findings suggest refraining from employing single-leaf partition walls made of vertical hollow ceramic blocks in such buildings. Improving sound insulation necessitates embracing a comprehensive strategy that takes into account the separating element, flanking paths, and the room geometries.
