2009/Nov/24 673kB Technote 35: Planning for Footfall Vibration in Steel-framed Floors Guidance for balancing floor span (bay size), steel framing depth (ceiling space), and weight of steel (cost) requirements in vibration-sensitive facilities. This guidance is best applied in early design.

2009/Jan/09 544kB Technote 34: Implications of Solid-walled Balconies on Wind Loading The key function of a balcony is to provide accessibility to the outdoor environment for pleasure. However, solid-walled balconies can have a significant influence on local cladding pressures and the overall wind-induced response of tall buildings.

2007/Jul/01 619kB Technote 33: MRI Noise and Vibration Effects on Building Design Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners create high levels of airborne and structure-borne noise, yet require low vibration environments for good imaging. Too often scanners are sited close to vibration sources and noise sensitive spaces, compromising facility performance.

2007/Jun/01 989kB Technote 32: Noise and Acoustics for Healthcare Design To allow a private exchange of information in admitting and consultation areas, good speech intelligibility, background noise (for masking), and isolation are required.

2007/May/01 547kB Technote 31: Reducing Environmental Impacts due to Construction Activities This Technote discusses the issues and mitigation options for fugitive dust, diesel odors, environmental noise, and ground-borne vibration.

2007/Apr/01 533kB Technote 30: Controlling Noise and Vibration If properly controlled through design, comfortable and functional indoor and outdoor noise and vibration environments can be achieved.

2007/Mar/01 457kB Technote 29: Optimizing Exhaust Stack Design and Placement Using Recirculation Zones, Dilution, and the New RWDI Desktop Dilution Calculator to Limit Contamination of Air Intakes.

2007/Feb/01 790kB Technote 28: What's the Latest Tool in Wind Engineering? A New Role for Weather Simulations to Assist Wind Engineering Projects.

2007/Jan/01 775kB Technote 27: The Advantages of Using Wind Tunnel Testing A Comparison Between Analytical Methods in International Building Codes and Wind Tunnel Testing for the Purpose of Effective Tall Building Design

2006/Dec/01 467kB Technote 26: Design-orientated Wind Engineering Studies New China Central Television Headquarters Its structural design required comprehensive wind engineering studies to determine detailed wind load distributions for potentially critical load patterns.
