Book excerpt: As new and existing U.S. residential areas and high volume highways continue to intermingle, traffic noise abatement procedures continue to be important. This study investigated the acoustic effectiveness, public acceptance, and structural requirements of various designs and types of sound barriers. In addition, the acoustic effectiveness of a prototype sound barrier is reported. Results are presented on the acoustic effectiveness from in situ measurements of one cement bonded composite panel barrier and four precast concrete, two plywood, two glued-laminated, and three post and panel barriers. The research on public acceptance of sound barriers focused on the perception of visual compatibility. Based on results from semantic-differential and individual ratings, wood and concrete barrier designs were perceived to have favored gbsruralgcs qualities. Data collected during the research on acoustic effectiveness and public acceptance were used to develop structural requirements and construction details for a prototype wood sound barrier. The prototype wood sound barrier provided insertion losses of 15 dB or greater, exceeding the 10-dB acceptable performance for a highway sound barrier.

Book Synopsis In-service Experience with Traffic Noise Barriers by : William Bowlby
Download or read book In-service Experience with Traffic Noise Barriers written by William Bowlby and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1992 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway environmental engineers, noise analysts, design engineers, maintenance personnel, planners, administrators, and others responsible for the design, selection, and maintenance of noise barriers or other traffic noise abatement policies. Information is provided on current state practice associated with noise abatement techniques and on the various products that are used. This synthesis describes the state of the art with respect to traffic noise abatement procedures, especially noise barriers. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides information on the design, construction and maintenance of both new (Type I) and retrofit ( Type II) noise barriers. The design elements that are addressed include materials, the selection process, service life, foundations, drainage, aesthetics, and safety. The construction section covers technical problems related to surface effects, durability, snow damage, and costs. Other noise abatement measures such as insulation and highway design alternatives are also addressed. The issue of public demand and availability funding is included, and recommendations are made to improve the situation.

Book Synopsis Guidelines for Evaluating the Performance of Highway Sound Barriers by : Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (U.S.)
Download or read book Guidelines for Evaluating the Performance of Highway Sound Barriers written by Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (U.S.) and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center, a CERF Service Center. This report presents the HITEC evaluation plan for U.S. Gypsum's Sight and Sound Screen. The Sight and Sound Screen is a post-and-panel wall system designed to act as a sight and sound barrier for highways and as a privacy system for residential and commercial property owners. The HITEC evaluation will measure the performance of the barrier against the criteria presented in this report, which reflect the needs of the highway community. Although this evaluation plan was tailored to one product, as a service to state and local transportation officials the report was expanded to provide guidelines that can be adapted for use with other types of sound wall systems.

Book Synopsis Noise Barrier Design Handbook by : Myles Simpson
Download or read book Noise Barrier Design Handbook written by Myles Simpson and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is intended to be a tool for use by the highway designer to aid in the design of noise abatement barriers. It provides a means of defining the geometric configuration of a barrier to produce a desired noise reduction, and also provides a design evaluation and selection procedure in which specific barriers are detailed, and then evaluated in terms of cost, acoustical characteristics, and non-acoustical characteristics (such as durability, ease of maintenance, safety, aesthetics and community acceptance). This handbook guides the designer in the preparation of a design which he believes will be accepted by the community and perform as desired both acoustically and non-acoustically, for reasonable cost.

Book Synopsis Problems with the Performance of Wooden Noise Barriers by : Amy J. Sterling
Download or read book Problems with the Performance of Wooden Noise Barriers written by Amy J. Sterling and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1984, the Research Council was requested by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation to conduct an investigation into the problems experienced with wooden noise barriers. Some of these barriers warped even before construction was completed, and gaps and splits were noted within a short period of time. A questionnaire survey of eleven states that have constructed noise barriers revealed that these problems are widespread. An analysis of the responses to the questionnaire has led to three basic recommendations. The first of these recommends upgrading the overall quality of the material used in the construction of the wooden barriers. This includes raising the grade of wood required and lowering the moisture content, as well as specifying maximum moisture contents for the wood both before and after treatment. Next, it is recommended that simple changes be made in the design of barriers. Technical alterations such as additional braces, fitted joints, overlapping joints, and angled nailing would help preserve their shape. Also, the use of plywood rather than planks would minimize the number of joints. The third recommendation is that specifications be strictly enforced. Wood, with its tendency to warp and shrink, must be handled correctly if it is to provide a noise barrier that will be effective over a long period of time.
