The book "Fundamentals of Building Physics 1 (Acoustics)", authored by Dr. Zahra Ghiabaklou, is a practical resource in the field of acoustics and its applications in architecture and engineering. This book explores the fundamental principles and concepts of acoustics, sound control, and the design of acoustic spaces.
Acoustics in architecture requires not only knowledge and mastery of building-related topics but also a deeper understanding of physics and mathematics, making it a complex subject that is often outside the interest of most architects. Therefore, this book makes a great effort to simplify acoustic concepts and presents numerous examples, illustrations, and tables to facilitate understanding.
The table of contents of this book is as follows:
- Principles and Fundamentals of Sound
- Sound Generation and Propagation
- Sound Reflection
- Sound Absorption
- Sound Transmission
- Noise
- Acoustic Design Principles
- Electronic Sound Reinforcement Systems
- Case Studies
- Appendix
