Abstract

Sound barrier walls are one of the most effective alternatives for reducing environmental noise on roads and railways in the city center. The insertion loss of the sound barrier against road traffic noise is the sum of the sound transmission loss, sound absorption loss, and sound energy reduction due to the diffraction attenuation of the sound barrier. The sound transmission loss of the sound barrier is one of the important factors that determine the insertion loss of the sound barrier and is a basic indicator that determines the performance of the sound barrier. Nevertheless, there is not a separate standard in Korea for measuring the acoustic transmission loss of sound barrier panels. There are only a few conditions in KS F 4770 series that stipulates on the general material of sound barrier panels. This thesis examines the necessity of the acoustic transmission loss measurement and evaluation standards of sound barrier walls, and seeks a measurement method in a free sound field (anechoic chamber) sound receiving room considering the characteristics of sound barrier walls installed in external spaces, unlike indoor building materials. In addition, a single number evaluation method using a reference spectrum was proposed so that the sound insulation effect according to various installation places such as roadside or railroad side can be easily displayed.

방음벽은 도심구간의 도로 및 철도에서 환경소음 저감을 위한 가장 효율적 대안의 하나이다. 도로교통소음 등에 대한 방음벽의 삽입손실은 방음판의 음향투과손실, 흡음손실 및 방음벽의 회절감쇠에 의한 음에너지 저감량의 합으로 이루어진다. 방음판의 음향투과손실은 방음벽의 삽입손실을 결정하는 중요한 요인 중 하나로 방음벽의 성능을 결정하는 기본적인 지표이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 아직까지 우리나라는 방음판의 음향투과손실 측정방법에 관한 별도의 규격이 없다. 방음판의 일반적 재질에 대해 규정하고 있는 KS F 4770 시리즈의 한두 항목으로 가볍게 다루고 있을 뿐이다. 이 논문은 방음판의 음향투과손실 측정 및 평가 규격의 필요성에 대해 고찰하고, 실내 건축부재와 달리 외부공간에 설치되는 방음벽의 특성을 감안한 자유음장(무향실) 수음실에서의 측정방법을 모색하였다. 아울러 도로변이나 철로변 등 다양한 설치장소에 따른 방음효과를 간단히 표시할 수 있도록 기준 스펙트럼을 활용한 단일수치 평가법을 제안하였다.
