The major advantage of transparent materials over traditional materials in noise barriers is aesthetics. The transparent panel materials such as clear plastic or glass are an ideal way of reducing or virtually eliminating the visual impact of a noise barrier. With the use of transparent materials, the drivers' view of the roadside and the sunlight penetration to the highway would not be blocked. With the use of transparent materials, the highway and barrier appear less imposing. Korean Industrial Standards for soundproof panels have been established. But, transparent soundproof panels are not included in this standards. And, some specifications provide only a few basic characteristics for transparent soundproof panels. To develop guidelines on quality criteria for transparent soundproof panel, their mechanical properties such as wind load resistance, safety under impact, and abrasion resistance were experimentally investigated.

PURPOSES : This study is to compare sound transmission loss(STL) value depending on the four kinds of materials, PC(Polycarbonate), PMMA(Polymethyl mathacrylate), PE(Polyethlyene), PP(Polypropylene), and two types of structure, single layer and double with vacuum layer, of soundproof panel. METHODS : With four sorts of polymer material, the specimens were made as various structures, 4 mm and 8 mm of single soundpoof panel and vacuum layered 4 mm of one. The experimental condition and procedures were complied with authorized process test, KS F 2808. RESULTS : STL of single panel made of PC were the greatest followed by PMMA, PE, PP regardless of the thickness of panel, However, STL of PMMA panel began to decrease around 2500 Hz and reached the lowest value among others in 5000 Hz. Vacuum layer soundproof panel showed good performance in more than 2000 Hz. Only vacuum layer panel made of PC presented resonance frequency at 800 Hz while that of other vacuum ones at 1000 Hz. CONCLUSIONS : According to results of single layer, it was found that single panel functioned as the theorical way we expected in terms of surface density. That trends were blurred as the panel got thicker. And it was suggested also that vacuum layer panel performed well at high frequency, more than 2000 Hz.

The soundproof barrier used to reduce the traffic and rail noise is usually designed to the point of view of the acoustic performance such as absorption ratio and transmission loss. But, because the surface of soundproof barrier is polluted by the air pollutant or discharge gas of automobiles, so it's surface cleary maintained by the periodic washing with detergent. But in this case the environmental pollution and the working expenses are worried. So, the objective of this study is to develope the soundproof panel with the self-cleaning properties only by raining.

The weight of soundproof panels is an important consideration in the design of both panels and supporting structures. The soundproof panels in noise barriers have to carry their net weight in wet condition respectively the reduced weight and also the weight of the above installed panels in wet condition without showing any failing. In this study, a compression test and a flexural test were performed to determine the maximum vertical load which a wood plastic composites (WPC) panel can bear. In addition, the maximum loading number and height of WPC panels in a noise barrier were calculated for full, simple, and continuous support conditions.

방음패널의 차음특성은 재료의 면밀도와 소음의 주파수와 높은 상관관계가 있으므로 방음패널의 두께 및 재료의 선택에 있어 실제 도로소음의 특성을 반영하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 재료의 경량 및 시공측면에서 수요가 증가하고 있는 플라스틱 소재 중 방음패널로 활용 가능한 소재를 선정하여 도로교통 소음의 주파수에 따른 차음특성을 평가하였다. 대상 패널은 물리적 특성을 조사하여 효율성 및 경제성 평가를 통해 polypropylene (PP)과 high-density polyethylene (HDPE)를 선정하였고 현재 방음패널의 재료로 사용되고 있는 polycarbonate (PC)와 polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)와의 재료 및 두께에 따른 차음특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 방음패널의 차음특성은 재료의 면밀도에 비례하여 PC, PMMA, HDPE, 그리고 PP순으로 높은 투과손실치를 나타내었다. 두께별 차음특성의 경우, 방음패널 두께에 비례하여 투과손실이 증가하나 일치효과로 인해 투과손실이 감소하는 주파수가 낮아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 저감하고자 하는 소음의 주파수대역을 먼저 파악하고 방음패널의 재질과 두께에 따른 주파수별 차음특성을 파악하여 적용한다면 효과적으로 소음을 저감할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : The noise, which is typically generated by fast moving vehicles, can be intercepted by installing a noise barrier with a soundproof panel. However, reflections from the panels cause secondary noise, and hence lower the effectiveness of the panels. In this study, the reduction of reflection noise by considering the shape, especially zigzag one, of the soundproof panel have been evaluated. METHODS : The simulation model used in this study was Nord2000, which simulates real-road situations effectively. Based on the simulation results, the joining angle of $133^{\circ}$ with the pattern width (a) equal to 2 m and the projection height (b) equal to 0.5 m was adapted in the zigzag shape as the best profit designing factors. RESULTS: The measuring results at middle height, 15 m showed reduction at all points except the point with average -1.6 dB. At a greater height of 30 m, 2 points showed reduction. A real-sized facility was constructed to investigate the reflected sound from a zigzag shaped panel up to the height of 5 m. CONCLUSIONS: The reduction effects were detected in all the receive points in the range of 2-6 m distances and 1-5 m heights comparing the plane panel. Compared to plane panel, the noises are reduced at an average of 2.4 dBA.

This study aims to develop and commercialize a soundproof wall capable of planting at the urban ecological. The vegetative soundproof wall developed in the study showed highly superb structural test results for sound absorption coefficients and met the quality standards in the sound-absorbing performance test. Its structure is systemized to supply water to soils and plant roots inside the planting basis with rainwater running down the inclined planes near the planting basis in the front of the vegetation panel. It allows for sporadic water supply for about 30 days of drought. The test results show that the plants continued favorable growth and development in leaves, stems, and roots, making the vegetative soundproof plate a product capable of reacting to climate environment changes.

Transparent noise barrier panels have the advantages of transmitting light to nearby residents and allowing drivers to orientate themselves by providing views of the surrounding area. To develop guidelines on quality criteria for transparent soundproof panels, their sound transmission loss and weatherability were experimentally investigated. In Korea, the sound transmission loss of noise barrier panels should be more than 25 dB at 500 Hz and 30 dB at 1000 Hz. The transmission loss tests of transparent panels were performed in accordance with KS F 2808. Typically, plastic materials suffer from color changes when exposed to ultraviolet(UV) light over extended periods. Therefore, weathering of plastics is one of the most important properties for outdoor applications. Protection against UV radiation and weathering is usually accomplished by using UV stabilizer additives or coatings. Transparent materials for soundproof panels were examined through accelerated weathering tests and their weathering resistances were evaluated from changes in yellowness index.

전력수요의 증가와 도심지역의 확대로 주거지역에 새로운 변전소를 건설하거나, 기존 변전소에 변압기 증설이 필요하다. 그러나 변전소의 변압기 소음으로 인한 불만이 증가하고 있다. 지금까지 한전에서는 변압기의 소음전달을 차단하기 위하여 옥외 변전소의 경우에는 방진패드 설치, 다양한 방음벽 설치, 변압기 본체 밀폐 등을 시행하여 왔으며, 옥내 변전소의 경우에는 방음문, 방음서터 및 풍도형 방음장치 설치 등을 시행하여 왔다. 그러나 현재의 소음 저감대책은 만족할 정도에 이르지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 변압기 자체의 소음발생 억제에 대한 근본적인 대책이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 변압기 외함의 보강제 사이를 강판으로 막아 변압기 외함에서 방출되는 소음을 차단하기 위한 차음판 기술을 개발하였다. 차음판을 변압기 외함에 적용하기 위하여 변압기 외함의 진동 특성과 차음판의 적용에 따른 음의 감쇄를 해석하고, 실변압기에 차음판을 적용하여 소음의 저감효과를 측정하여 약 11[dB]의 소음저감 효과를 확인하였다.
