The effects of wood species and panel connections on the vibration and heavy-weight impact sound insulation performance of cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs were investigated.CLT panels (5-ply, 150 mm thick, 1 m wide, and 4.2 m long) made of larch (Larix kaempferi) and pine (Pinus densiflora) were manufactured with 30 mm thick laminae, considering
