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 Design of Wood Highway Sound Barriers by :

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 Evaluating Pavement Strategies and Barriers for Noise Mitigation by : Paul R. Donavan
Download or read book Evaluating Pavement Strategies and Barriers for Noise Mitigation written by Paul R. Donavan and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2013 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 738: Evaluating Pavement Strategies and Barriers for Noise Mitigation presents a methodology for evaluating feasibility, reasonableness, effectiveness, acoustic longevity, and economic features of pavement strategies and barriers for noise mitigation. The methodology uses a life-cycle cost analysis to examine the economic features of mitigation alternatives, the FHWA Traffic Noise Model to integrate the noise reduction performance of pavements and barriers, and on-board sound intensity measurements as an input to the prediction model. The appendixes contained in the research agency's final report provide elaborations and detail on several aspects of the research. The appendixes are not included with the print version of the report, but are available online." --Publisher description.

Book Synopsis Preliminary Assessment of Traffic Noise Barrier Effectiveness for Project HAM-71-11.44 by : Lloyd Allen Herman
Download or read book Preliminary Assessment of Traffic Noise Barrier Effectiveness for Project HAM-71-11.44 written by Lloyd Allen Herman and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The completion of the traffic noise barrier project HAM-71-11.44 in Ohio was met with strong reaction from those living in the project area. Many residents complained that noise levels had actually increased at their location as a result of the project, while others claimed that levels had decreased where they lived. The preliminary assessment project was initiated to determine the nature and extent of any problems that had occurred with the construction of the noise barriers. A two-pronged approach was used for the study. First, a survey of residents was conducted to characterize the residents' perception of changes in noise levels due to construction of the barriers. Second, a physical investigation of the project area was made, which included roadway and barrier geometries, traffic characteristics before and after barrier construction, and acoustical measurements to characterize the noise environment in the project area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A description of motor vehicle noise sources and the potential for their control is provided. The report presents an overview of the suggested noise prediction methodology, which is a four step process that includes approximating noise impacts using a nomograph procedure to determine noise levels associated with given traffic and site characteristics; refining these predictions by more accurate representation of design parameters and use of a computer program that is able to plot as well as calculate noise impact; introducing appropriate noise-control options and evaluate them, using a noise barrier nomograph solution; lastly, selected options are fully evaluated using the computer program.

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.
