Book Synopsis Design of Wood Highway Sound Barriers by :
Download or read book Design of Wood Highway Sound Barriers written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Development of Standards for Noise Barriers Using Recycled-plastic Lumber by :
Download or read book Development of Standards for Noise Barriers Using Recycled-plastic Lumber written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes development of standards for noise barrier systems using recycled plastic lumber for wall sheathing, structurally supported by wood or steel frames, with cast-in-place piers proposed for foundations. Aesthetics are addressed by providing options for sheathing color, frame type, and frame arrangement. The standards developed include design tables for selection of standardized member sizes, column spacings, and foundation dimensions. Also included are tables for estimating materials requirements and costs of selected designs, along with notes on system specifications and construction. The proposed systems are cost-competitive with current systems, and may have long-term economic benefits as a result of greater durability, minimal maintenance, and low life-cycle cost.
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 Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment by :
Download or read book Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual provides direction for the preparation of noise and vibration sections of environmental documents for mass transportation projects. The manual has been developed in the interest of promoting quality and uniformity in assessments. It is expected to be used by people associated with or affected by the urban transit industry, including Federal Transit Administration (FTA) staff, grant applicants, consultants and the general public. Each of these groups has an interest in noise/vibration assessment, but not all have the need for all the details of the process. Consequently, this manual has been prepared to serve readers with varying levels of technical background and interests. It sets forth the basic concepts, methods and procedures for documenting the extent and severity of noise impacts from transit projects.
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 excerpt: This document presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is developed in metric units. The roadside is defined as that area beyond the traveled way (driving lanes) and the shoulder (if any) of the roadway itself. The focus of this guide is on safety treatments that minimize the likelihood of serious injuries when a driver runs off the road. This guide replaces the 1989 AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide."

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Service Life of Noise Barrier Walls in Illinois by : Dianne H. Kay
Download or read book Evaluation of Service Life of Noise Barrier Walls in Illinois written by Dianne H. Kay and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of this project included: development of a means to quantify the service lives of materials used for construction of noise barriers in Illinois; development of a life cycle cost model for the evaluation of alternative materials; and evaluation of the need for potential changes to the Special Provisions for noise barrier construction currently used in Illinois. The project included a survey of all state departments of transportation (DOTs) to develop information on experiences with noise barrier materials and products, which showed that nationwide, less than 1% of noise barriers by length have been repaired or replaced, and that few DOTs use life cycle cost analysis for selection of noise barriers. A comprehensive list of the materials currently approved for use in Illinois by the Illinois Highway Development Council was developed. The current condition of existing Illinois noise barriers was assessed by field observation, and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) maintenance personnel were surveyed to develop information on maintenance histories, costs of repairs, scheduled repair or replacement of barriers, and estimated service lives of barriers in place. Service life criteria were developed considering the structural, acoustical, and aesthetic functions of noise barriers. A life cycle cost model was developed and the relative life cycle costs of existing Illinois noise barriers were computed. Noise barrier specifications supplied by IDOT and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority were reviewed, and recommendations for improving the organization and content of the specifications were made.
