Abstract

The flanking transmission in wood frame construction was investigated. The effect of joist orientation, junction blocking details, joist type and wall framing for airborne excitation was examined. The floor/wall junction in multifamily buildings was found to provide serious structural flanking for airborne excitation. A continuous subfloor provided resistance to wind or seismic loading in such cases.
