This study is concerned with the acoustic characteristics for recently developed interference-type noise barrier (T-shaped). To modify the previous shape more conveniently the T-shaped noise barrier with tuning partitions was examined in detail by varying the number and the hight of tuning partitions. The 2-D boundary element method(BEM) analysis were compared with the experimental results of 1/10 reduced scale model.

A noise reduction of noise barrier for high speed train was measured by using scale down model test. A selected types of noise barriers were simple vertical barrier, interference type barrier with plate, interference type barrier with cylindrical pipes. On experiment, in order to make similar present test lane condition, reduced train model and multiple noise sources were considered. As a result. interference type noise barrier with cylindrical pipes is most effective than other barriers. A present height of noise barrier which is established in a test lane is not high enough for reducing patograph noise.

This paper investigates the insertion loss of nosie barrier with a interference device. The efficiency of the conventional interference-type noise barrier depends on specific frequency. Thus this study is performed to improve the efficiency of the nosie barrier in the range of broadband frequency, by changing the shape of interference device and adding the channel with various depths. The boundary element method (BEM) is used to predict the insertion loss of noise barrier. Two-dimensional boundary element model is created to simulate the performance of long barrier with a line source.

Noise barrier is generally used with welding of joint rail for railway noise reduction in our country. But the noise barrier for high speed railway has weak point in low frequencies about 315Hz band. In this study, For developing of Interference-type Noise Reduction Device(INRD), acoustic analysis were performed using commercial software. For verifying the improvement in the noise reduction, noise measurement before and after installing of INRD were performed in Anechoic Chamber. From these acoustic analysis and noise measurement, it was known that developed INRD has a good noise reduction performance and can be used efficiently with conventional noise barrier.

This paper investigates the insertion loss of nosie barrier with a intereference device. The efficiency of the conventional intereference-type noise barrier depends on specific frequency. Thus this study is performed to improve the efficiency of the rosie barrier in the range of broadband frequency, by changing the shape of intereference device and adding the channel with various depths. The boundary element method (BEM) is used to predict the insertion loss of noise barrier. (omitted)

Noise barriers are being used more often to solve problems of noise pollution from traffic noise. Several types of noise barriers are being installed to increase the cost-effectiveness of noise barrier installation. In this study, the insertion loss is analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the noise barrier by using the BEM. In order to check the validity of the BEM, the BEM and Lam's theoretical analysis are compared with measurement, which is performed in the anechoic chamber for the 1/10 scale-down model, and good agreements are obtained. By using the two dimensional boundary element method, the insertion loss is calculated and analyzed for several typical noise barriers such as the vertical barrier, the barrier with an oblique edge on top, the T-shaped barrier and the barrier with interference device on top. With these analyses, it is possible to design more cost-effective noise barriers appropriate for a particular area.
