Book Description

THIS PUBLICATION HAS BEEN ARCHIVED.

Whilst this publication can still be purchased some of the information in it has been superseded by more recent research and standards. The BRE Group does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any loss or damage, including - without limitation - indirect or consequential loss or damage arising from use, or loss of use, of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the use of this document.


Please note that this is a scanned copy of a paper originally published in 1983, so the text is not as clear as in documents created as pdf files.

Earlier papers listed floors tested to obtain field data on common types and gave performance ratings for airborne and impact insulation in terms of 'aggregate adverse deviations' (AADs) relative to Grade I reference values. Ratings in terms of the system defined in BS 5821:1980 are given here on the basis of the same data.
