Abstract:Over the years, considerable research has been
performed towards effective and practical noise
abatement measures. Some of these techniques include
traffic management, use of quieter and noise absorbing
pavement surfaces, improving land use and planning,
and finally the installation of noise barriers. Generally,
the most cost effective and efficient noise abatement
option is the use of a noise barrier. As a result, numerous
guidelines and specifications have been developed for
noise barriers to ensure safety, cost effectiveness and
substantial noise reduction. These guidelines include
information about determining the need for a noise
barrier, design and safety considerations, environmental
considerations, potential impact, and implementation
procedures.
