AUDITORIUM - R.T. CALCULATIONS

PARTH SABLE R23

CASE : 1 Volume of Auditorium
= Volume of room - (volume of steps + volume of stage)

(Volume of steps = 70.8 X 16.43 = 1164)

Hence, v. of auditorium , V
= (5.9 X 23.8 X 16.43) - (1164 + 33) = 2308 - 1197 = 1111 m3

1. Wall 1 has 2 doors of 2.5x1.5m.

A1 = 2308 x 5.9 - 2(2.5 x 1.5) = 133 sq. m.
A1S1 = 133 x 0.02 = 2.66
2. Wall 2 has 1 door of 1.7x2.1m and 2 doors of 2.1x1m
A2 = 16.43 x 5.1 -[(1.7 x 2.1)+(2 x 1 x 2.1)] = 76 sq.m.
A2S2 = 76 x 0.02 = 1.52
3. Wall 3 has 2 doors of 2.5x1.5
A3 = 23.8 X 5.9 - 2(1.5 X 2.5)= 133 sq.m.
A3S3 = 133 X 0.02 = 2.66
4. Wall 4
A4 = 68.43 X 5.3 = 87 sq.m.
A4S4 = 87 X 0.02 = 1.74
5. F1 = 322 sq.m. X 0.02 = 6.64
6. F2 = 55 sq.m. X 0.02 = 1.1
7. Ceiling = 390 sq.m. X 0.02 = 7.8
8. Total area = 24.12

RT= (0.16xV)/A
= (0.16 x 1111 ) / 24.12
= 7.36 seconds

PLAN Hence for R.T. 7.36 seconds acoustical conditions are very
bad . hence treatment is required.

1. WALL 1 : 9mm thk felt wall overlay (0.08) + 75mm thk
Fiberglass Acoustic Panels (0.99)
Wall 1 has 2 doors of 2.5x1.5m.
A1 = 2308 x 5.9 - 2(2.5 x 1.5) = 133 sq. m.
A1S1 = ( 66 x 0.08 )+ (67x0.99)= 71.61
2. WALL 2 : 9mm thk felt wall overlay (0.08) + 75mm thk
Fiberglass Acoustic Panels (0.99)
Wall 2 has 1 door of 1.7x2.1m and 2 doors of 2.1x1m
A2 = 16.43 x 5.1 -[(1.7 x 2.1)+(2 x 1 x 2.1)] = 76 sq.m.
A2S2 = (38x0.08+(38x0.99) = 40.66
