The noise pollution caused by air traffic is one of the popular environmental issues, which consistently gives rise to public discussion today especially among local residents near airports. But, because there is a growing tendency that large residential areas are constructed in flatlands around airports due to a high population density, the importance of the EIA in connection with aircraft noise is increased to take precautionary measures. Therefore, this paper examines the present status and the improvement plan of aircraft noise impact assessment.

The test blasts were carried out by detonating some single blastholes at two upper sites of the underground storage cavern the crude oil. One was performed at the entrance site of the construction tunnel and the other at the middle part of the underground storage cavern. Based on the blast-induced vibration measured by the test blasts, we suggested the propagation equations of blasting vibration that were capable of estimating the peak particle velocity. In addition, in order to assess the stability of the nearest ground storage tank, we did the frequency analysis and the response spectrum analysis with the particle velocity-time history and the particle acceleration-time history that were measured by the test blast carried out on the entrance site of the construction tunnel. In result, it was predicted that the displacement on the highest part of the tank shell was less than the allowable displacement.

A successful design approach for noise barriers should be multidisciplinary because noise reduction goals influence both acoustical and non-acoustical considerations, such as maintenance, safety, physical construction, cost and visual impact These various barrier design options are closely related with barrier dimensions. In this study, we have proposed an optimal design method of noise barriers using simulated annealing algorithm, providing a barrier having the smallest dimension and achieving the specified noise reduction at a receiver region exposed to the industry and infrastructures, to help a successful barrier design.

Effect of hand-transmitted vibration on human discomfort and health was reviewed. Since the effect by hand tool was more serious than those by any other vibration environments, western countries have protected hand tool workers by regulations. International organization for standardization legislate standard, ISO 5349, at 1979 for the measurement and evaluation of the effect. Afterwards, more than twenty standards on hand-arm vibration were enacted to Protect any damage of hand tool users. Even though Korea Standards adopted ISO 5349 in 2001, it is required an action plan should be applied to all of work environments, especially to the workers using pneumatic tool workwers such as miners, construction workers, and etc.

Pleasantness or quietness becomes one of the most important factors for residential designs recently. Especially for apartments, the noise generated by falling objects becomes a sensitive issue these days. To overcome the problem of the impact noise in apartments, the floor design has been changed. To reduce the transmissibility of the noise, composite floor structures are devised and implemented for the construction of apartments. In this paper, the noise reduction performance of a composite floor plate with holes is analyzed. Computational modelings for the structures are developed and its performance is evaluated by using the finite element method. The results show that the noise can be well reduced with the multi-layer composite floor plates with holes.

A hydraulic breaker is widely utilized for many civil engineering areas for the purpose of destroying objects such as rocks, concrete, or road. However, since the high-level noise and vibration by a hydraulic breaker is one of the major sources of environmental noise and recently the environmental regulations on construction equipments are also getting more strengthened, in order to solve such problems, it is certainly necessary to design and develop a hydraulic breaker with low noise and low vibration. This research is to understand the noise characteristics through the noise test and acoustic analysis of the bracket housing in a hydraulic breaker and to identify the element part to be modified based on the result of the element contribution analysis. An improved breaker model including X-typed rib shows the result of low-noise level within target frequency band compared with a commercial breaker model.

The government has enforced Housing Performance Grade Indication System (Article 21, Paragraph 2 of Housing Act) starting January 2006 for the purpose of giving users in hope of toying an apartment opportunities to select housing based on personal preferences by providing information on housing performance at the time of tenant recruitment announcement as well as securing desirable environment (comfort) by encouraging construction companies to build housing of the indicated performance level. The acoustic performance indication items include three items such as floor impact isolation performance(light weight impact sound, heavy weight impact sound), bathroom noise and insulation performance of boundary walls between households. This paper explains the background, the basis of creation and evaluation method focused on the acoustic environment performance helping for the developer of technique and a staff in charge of construction business who cope with this system.

An experimental and numerical approach has been carried out to characterize the noise and the safety of circular diamond saw with chinks by laser-cutting. The sound pressure level of a circular diamond saw with chinks was measured when cutting workpieces. Therefore, frequency analysis results show us that the sound level was reduced as position of chinks approach to out-diameter. But the safety of circular diamond saw was lower due to the stress concentrated at the edge of chinks while cutting workpieces. FEM analysis was used for safety evaluation with the variation position of chinks. The noise characteristics of circular diamond saw were also estimated during cutting test.
