Types of noise barrier installed for noise attenuation are largely divided into noise-absorbing format and noise-proofing format. In these days, installation of transparent noise barrier is general trend to solve problems that hinder sunshine and landscape. Some kinds of transparent boards are used to one of components in noise barriers, but in some cases, less transparency and worse pollution due to yellowing phenomena, and severe material deformation are to harm the urban aesthetics Therefore laminated-tempered glass board in that yellowing phenomena does not occur can be replaced as a transparent one to secure those shortcomings. In this paper, the structural safety against train induced vibration and the resistibility to wind load are analyzed for laminated-tempered glass system as a component of noise barrier installed on Metro railway elevated bridges. Also the appropriateness is evaluated through flexural bending performance test, compressive strength test, modulus of elasticity tests, and impact test for the system or the glass material itself. All of these processes are intended to present the deployment of logic to evaluate the adequacy for the system.

Sound barrier walls are the most basic way to cope with noise problems in urban residential environments. The most important acoustic function of sound insulation board is represented by sound transmission loss and sound absorption coefficient. However, Korea has not yet established a standard for measuring the sound absorption rate of sound insulation boards. In addition, even in the European standard, where the overall acoustic standard of soundproofing boards has already been established, the sound absorption rate is applied only to the standard for measuring the sound absorption rate of general building finishing materials, and a separate measurement method considering the characteristics of soundproof walls and soundproofing boards is not presented. The sound absorption coefficient should be evaluated by summing up the energy absorbed into the material as well as the energy transmitted through the material, but the current European standard has a problem in that the transmitted sound energy is not taken into account. In this paper, we reviewed the sound absorption coefficient measurement standards of sound insulation boards currently being presented, and verified the difference between the results and the new measurement method considering transmission sound for sound insulation boards actually used in Korea.

Sound absorption coefficient for the absorptive panels comprized of a perforated plate. an absorbent material and an air gap was measured and compared with theoretical value. The absorptive panels are composed of three basic combinations (a perforated plate + an air gap + an absorbent material. a perforated plate + an absorbent material, a perforated plate + an absorbent material + an air gap). As a result. it is found that the sound absorption for low frequency range is strongly affected by the resonance produced by perforated plate and air gap. And the sound absorption for high frequency depends on the porosity of perforated plate.

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.

도로 및 철도에서 발생하는 소음을 저감시키기 위해 설치되는 방음벽은 흡음률, 투과손실 등과 같은 음향성능 외에도 태풍과 같은 강풍에 견딜 수 잇는 구조성능이 확보되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 지역별 특성 및 풍속을 고려한 풍압을 산정하는 방법을 소개하고, 풍압에 의한 방음판의 구조해석을 수행하였다. 또한, EN 1794-1의 규정에서 정하는 시험방법에 따른 방음판의 하중변형량 시험을 통하여 방음판의 구조성능을 평가하였다.

기존 투명방음판용 알루미늄 프레임의 구조적 단점을 보완할 수 있는 강재-FRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 합성단면 구조재를 개발하였으며, 아울러 조립이 간편하고 외부 충격에 의해 쉽게 분리가 되지 않는 삽입형 수평재-수직재 코너연결부 상세를 개발하였다. 개발된 강재-FRP 합성단면 구조재와 코너연결재를 결합하여 프레임을 형성하고 그 사이에 투명패널을 삽입함으로써 길이 4m, 높이 1m 투명방음판 시작품을 완성하였으며, 이렇게 완성된 투명방음판 시작품을 대상으로 KS 4770-1 구조성능 평가시험을 수행하였다. 한국도로공사 교량부 시험하중에 대해 설계된 강재-FRP 합성단면 프레임 투명방음판의 구조성능 평가결과, FRP 의 추가적인 구조강성 증가 효과로 인해 한국도로공사 교량부 시험하중을 약간 상회하는 KS 2 호 등급시험하중까지도 만족시키고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Traffic volume has been greatly increasing due to urban development and the improvement of living standards, and many complaints are being raised due to the increasing road noise. As a countermeasure against these problems, highly soundproof walls are installed on the sides of roads. However, the ability to bear wind loads is a major design requirement for soundproof walls, which contributes to the exponential increases in construction costs and restricts the height of the walls. The aim of this study is to improve the performance of soundproof walls and to dramatically reduce wind loads while maintaining excellent price competitiveness. Based on Helmholz's resonator theory, a new concept is proposed for a ventilation-type soundproofing plate that can pass through a fluid like air and reduce noise. A full-scale metal soundproofing plate was produced to satisfy the quality standards of highways by conducting a sound-pressure transmission-loss test, wind tunnel test, and material quality test. To verify the reliability, the wall was manufactured and installed, and the sound insulation effect was examined by measuring the noise over time. In the future, ventilated soundproof walls on roads could create a pleasant living environment due to the high noise-insulation effect.

도시 주거지의 소음은 주로 자동차와 철도 등에 의한 교통소음이 주류를 이룬다. 저소음 차량 개발 등 국가적 차원의 노력은 차량소음을 줄이는 원천적이고 장기적 대책이 되겠지만 방음벽의 설치가 현실적으로는 최선의 방법이 될 수 있다. 이러한 제반 여건을 감안하여 대전시 중촌동 일원에 새로 건설되는 고가도로 구간의 인근에 거주하는 사람들의 소음대책을 위해 도로교통 소음 및 철도소음에 대한 영향을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 예측하였으며, 이 결과에 따라 방음벽을 설치하였다. 또한 방음벽 설치시 주민의 여론을 수렴하여 방음벽은 투명방음판과 흡음형 방음판을 조합하여 설치하였다. 교통소음에 대한 컴퓨터 예측결과에 따라 설치된 방음벽에 대한 효과는 방음벽이 설치된 후 실측을 통하여 상호 비교하고 주민의 반응에 대해서도 알아보았다.

This research aimed to prepare the classification of the damage types and the damage rating system of noise barriers for expressway noise barriers and to develop deterioration evaluation method of noise barriers by reflecting them. The noise barrier consists of soundproof panels, foundations and posts and the soundproof panels with 10 different types of materials are used in a single or mixed form.In this paper, damage of soundproof panel shows a single or composite damage, and thus a evaluation model of deterioration has been developed for noise barriers that can reflect the characteristic of noise barriers. Materials used mainly for soundproof walls were divided into material types for metal, plastic, timber, transparent and concrete. And damage types for noise barrier were classified into corrosion, discoloration, deformation, spalling and dislocation and damage types were subdivided according to the noise barrier's components and materials. Damage rating was divided into good, minor, normal and severe for each major part of noise barrier to assess damage rating of soundproof panel, foundation and post. The deterioration degree of noise barrier was evaluated comprehensively by using the deterioration evaluation method of whole noise barrier using weighted average. Deterioration evaluation method that can be systematically assessed has been developed for noise barrier using single or mixed soundproof panel and noise barrier with single or complex damage types. Through such an evaluation system, it is deemed that the deterioration status of noise barrier installed can be systematically understood and utilized for efficient maintenance planning and implementation for repair and improvement of noise barriers.
