Vibration transmission from columns into built up structures is studied using laboratory models. Beams attached to plates, forming built up structures, can influence transmission characteristics at these joints. Good agreement is found between measured and predicted results. The orientation of the beams effects coupling and strongest coupling is through a twisting moment applied to the beam. The effects of these changes in coupling on sound transmission between floors is discussed.
