“…However, due to the connection of the rigid system "reinforced concrete slab-steel beam", impact and structural noise quite easily find their way to the lower floor. To improve the acoustic characteristics of the floors, various modifications of these composites have been developed, such as slim floor beams [187], Thor and Delta beams [188], composite slim floor beam [189,190], iTECH composite beams [191], and Ultra-Shallow Floor beams [192][193][194] are the other few composite flooring systems used. Some of these composite flooring systems use a profile steel sheet or small mesh beam [187,188,195].…”

Concrete is the most common building material; therefore, when designing structures, it is obligatory to consider all structural parameters and design characteristics such as acoustic properties. In particular, this is to ensure comfortable living conditions for people in residential premises, including acoustic comfort. Different types of concrete behave differently as a sound conductor; especially dense mixtures are superior sound reflectors, and light ones are sound absorbers. It is found that the level of sound reflection in modified concrete is highly dependent on the type of aggregates, size and distribution of pores, and changes in concrete mix design constituents. The sound absorption of acoustic insulation concrete (AIC) can be improved by forming open pores in concrete matrices by either using a porous aggregate or foam agent. To this end, this article reviews the noise and sound transmission in buildings, types of acoustic insulating materials, and the AIC properties. This literature study also provides a critical review on the type of concretes, the acoustic insulation of buildings and their components, the assessment of sound insulation of structures, as well as synopsizes the research development trends to generate comprehensive insights into the potential applications of AIC as applicable material to mitigate noise pollution for increase productivity, health, and well-being.

This study aims to fabricate and evaluate the drilling characteristics and cylindricity tolerance of novel composites reinforced with aluminium wire mesh and plain glass fiber composite material. Materials and Methods: This study works on the fabrication of novel composite materials, these composite materials were prepared using glass fiber and kevlar fiber reinforced with aluminium mesh. The composite material reinforced with wire mesh was taken as an experimental group with a sample size of 20 (N=20). The plain glass fiber composite material is taken as a control group with a sample size of 20 (N=20). The composite sample size was calculated by keeping 80% of G-power. Hand Layup Technique is used for fabricating both groups of composite materials. SPSS software is used for statistical analysis. Result: The mean values obtained by the control group and experimental group were 80.31% and 70.65% respectively. Glass fiber composite reinforced with wire mesh shows better drilling characteristics and also a decrease in cylindricity tolerance, the significant value obtained is p=0.025 (P<0.05). There is a significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Within the limits of the study, glass fiber composite reinforced with aluminium wire mesh shows a 18% decrease in cylindricity tolerance during dilling. So the reinforced composites can be used in many automobile and marine applications.

“…The teams applied multi-layered materials with better heat preservation and insulation to the envelope enclosure. For example, glued bamboo, wood panels and UHPC concrete [68] were used as framing materials; biomass straw bricks [69] and SIPs [70][71][72] were used to fill walls; EFTE film (EFTE film: A high quality building skin material made from artificial high strength fluoropolymer (ETFE), which has the characteristics of ductility, high light transmittance and sustainability) [73][74][75] was used as the adaptive facade of the building. The envelope enclosure of some teams is shown in Figure 6.…”

Solar Decathlon is a multi-disciplinary international competition that integrates energy-saving design strategies to design, build and operate zero-energy solar houses. This study focused on the 15 entries in the third Solar Decathlon China. It summarized their energy-saving design strategies into strategies of architectural design, equipment management, energy acquisition and intelligent regulation, and extracted a total of 22 key design elements. Based on the scoring results of the competition, this study analyzed the application of different design strategies with qualitative analysis; through quantitative analysis, 22 design elements were associated with the score, and the impact of different strategies on the score was comprehensively analyzed. As revealed in the data, design concept, functional structure and application type of renewable energy are significantly correlated with and have a great impact on the score; in contrast, building area and thermal buffer space are not significantly correlated with the score. On the basis of data analysis, this study provides a quantitative decision basis for the energy-saving design strategy of zero-energy buildings, and establishes an empirical model for the design of zero-energy solar buildings in Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou City. This paper is helpful for the design practice and application of subsequent studies on ZEBs.
