Denna rapport ingår som avslutande examensarbete i magisterutbildning i byggteknik med inriktning hållbart samhällsbyggande. Rapporten behandlar akustiska egenskaper hos ett prefabricerat samverkansbjälklag sammansatt av en tunn betongplatta, konstruktionsvirke och en massivträplatta. Dels görs en sammanfattning över byggbranschens miljöpåverkan och hur effektivare användning av byggnadsmaterial kan bidra till en mer hållbar utveckling. Det undersöks också hur ljud-miljöer påverkar människor och hur detta behandlas med akustiska krav inom byggandet i Sverige ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Det aktuella samverkansbjälklaget har tagits fram i samarbete mellan Hedareds Sand & Betong AB, AB Fristad Bygg, Högskolan i Borås och SP Sveriges Tekniska Forsknings-institut och steg- respektive luftljud har provats i SP:s akustiklaboratorium i Borås. Provdata har sedan utvärderats och jämförelser görs med byggreglerna liksom med andra bjälklagssystem. En studie över vilka typer av kompletteringar av bjälklagselementen som behöver göras för att uppfylla myndighetskraven på ljudmiljöer i bostäder görs också. / This report is a part of the one year master programme in Civil Engineering - Sustainable Built Environment. The report focuses on the acoustic properties of a prefabricated composite floor slab built with three main components; a thin concrete slab, timber beams and a cross laminated timber slab. Initially a study of the environmental impact of the building industry, and how more effective use of building materials can contribute to a more sustainable development, is made. A study of how different sounds affects people is made and also how this is considered by different requirements in the Swedish building regulations to reach a more sustainable built environment. The studied floor slab is part of a cooperation project between Hedareds Sand & Betong AB, AB Fristad Bygg, The University of Borås and SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden and the sound tests are made in an acoustic laboratory at SP in Borås. The results of the tests are evaluated and are compared with the building regulations as well as with other types of floors. A study of the types of complements that are needed to reach the requirements in the building regulations is made.

Purpose: The building industry has a big environmental impact. The timber construction can reduce the impact of the industry because timber is an environmentally friendly material. One of the biggest problems with lightweight construction is sound insulation. The aim of this report is to study two floor construction with different sound insulation materials from an environmental perspective. The materials that will be studied in this report are sand and macadam. The aim of the report is to create a clear comparison between these floor layers and to suggest an improvement proposal. Method: The methods that have been used in the report are literature studies, life-cycle assessment, document analysis and interview. The LCA, document analysis and literature studies are the starting point, based on these methods, the first two questions in this paper will be answered. Using the interview was able to conduct information for the last question. Findings: This study has shown that sand has a less environmental impact than what macadam has. The improvement proposal that has been suggested in this study is using sawdust with sand as sound insulations layer. Decreasing the amount of sand in floors can have a positive effect on the environment. Implications: As a conclusion of this paper, it is proven that sand as a sound insulation material is more favorable for the environment than the macadam. The reason is caused by the process of extracting macadam. The process is more complicated and more energy demanding. Another conclusion is that reducing the amount of sand and replacing the missing amount with sawdust can reduce the environmental impact and increase the sound insulation ability. A recommendation for similar papers more abilities could be included in the analysis to provide a more including and fair result. Limitations: This paper is limited to investigate sound insulation materials combined with CLT-slabs exclusively. The methods which have been used provided relevant data to help this paper create conclusions. The goal was to create an all-around answer so that the result could be applicable in other analysis. Keywords: LCA, sand, macadam, lightweight construction, impact sound insulation, environment.

I en byggnad kan ljud och vibrationer från steg spridas och dessa ljud kan störa de människor som vistas i byggnaden. Stegljudsisoleringsförmågan hos ett bjälklag beror på hur det är konstruerat och hur hög styvhet och massa bjälklaget har. I detta arbete undersöks stegljudsisoleringen hos tre bjälklagstyper. Dessa är monterade i befintliga byggnader, belägna i Växjö och ägda av fastighetsbolaget Videum.   Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka vilket av de tre bjälklagstyperna som är bäst lämpat att ha i en kontors- eller universitetsbyggnad, med avseende på akustik. Vidare var syftet att undersöka vilket av dessa tre bjälklag som avskärmar stegljud i horisontalled mest effektivt. Målet med arbetet har varit att genomföra en standardiserad stegljudsmätning och en enkätundersökning för att kunna fastställa vilket av de undersökta bjälklagen som har bäst stegljudsisolering. Data från dessa undersökningar har analyserats och beräknats.   Resultatet från stegljudsmätning och enkätundersökning visar att det bjälklag som avskärmar stegljud bäst är KL-träskiva med betongpågjutning. De undersökta bjälklagskonstruktionerna inklusive anslutningar till väggar är inte helt jämförbara och därför bör det nämnas att resultaten avser konstruktionslösningen som helhet och inte enbart själva bjälklaget. / Sound and vibration which originate from footsteps can spread in a building and may disturb the people who residence it. Ability to insulate impact sound varies depending on how the joists system is designed and how high its stiffness and mass are. In this thesis the impact sound insulation of three different joists systems will be examined. The joists systems are installed in existing buildings located in Växjö, Sweden and owned by the real estate company Videum.   The purpose of the thesis was to examine which of the three different joists systems that is most suitable for office- and university buildings, concerning acoustics. Furthermore, the purpose was to examine which of the joists systems that has the best ability to sequester impact sound horizontally. The goal with the thesis was to perform a standardized impact sound insulation measurement and a survey to determine which of the joists systems that has the best impact sound insulation. All data was analyzed and calculated.   The results show that the CLT board with a concrete layer reduces the impact sound most efficiently. However, it should be mentioned that the designs of the objects are not fully comparable and therefore the results relate to the entire design including the wall floor connection, rather than to the joists systems alone.
