Lecture: Double walled fire resistant acoustic structures
Author(s): Van Dijk Chris
Summary:
A common well performing acoustic insulation principle is based on double walled structures. These structures can also benefit from good thermal insulation. However a connection between the inner and outer shell can be necessary in order to provide structural integrity. This is especially the case with acoustic doors. This coupling poses a significant downside in the form of potential deformation and thermal conductivity during fire or fire-testing. The aim of this presentation is to create awareness of the challenges of acoustic fire resistant double walled structures, and the influence on acoustics of some solutions in order to counter these challenges.
