The role and application of highway noise barriers

    The function and application of highway noise barriers

  What is the function of a highway?

  Composition of highway noise barriers: mainly composed of steel columns and metal sound insulation panels. The columns are the main load-bearing components of the noise barrier, fixed to the road crash wall or the pre-embedded steel plate beside the track via bolts or welding; the sound insulation panels are the main sound insulation and absorption components, fixed in the H-shaped column slot through high-strength safety clips, forming a complete highway noise barrier.

Highway noise barrier

  Generally speaking, for high-frequency sounds, the noise barrier can reduce 10-15db. The style of the noise barrier can be designed according to the distance from the sound source to the receiving point. If the height of the noise barrier is doubled, the noise reduction can be increased by 6dB. To achieve better noise reduction effect, when installing metal noise barriers, it should be as close as possible to the sound source or receiving point.

  The main materials of highway noise barriers include galvanized plates, aluminum alloys, metals, and combinations of transparent materials. While sound insulation and noise reduction, it also takes into account aesthetics and integrates with the surrounding environment.

  Design features of highway noise barriers

  A multi-functional urban road noise barrier, including a noise barrier base, noise barrier columns, and barrier clamping mounting blocks. Multiple road noise barrier columns are collinearly arranged along the extending direction of the noise barrier base. Each noise barrier column has a barrier clamping mounting block attached to it. A barrier body is vertically arranged between any two adjacent noise barrier columns. The sound insulation panel clamping mounting block includes a column sleeve through hole for cooperating with the sound insulation panel column, and two sound insulation panel body grooves located on both sides of the column sleeve through hole respectively. The two vertical edges of each sound insulation panel body are installed in the sound insulation panel body grooves of two adjacent sound insulation panel clamping mounting blocks respectively.

  Highway noise barriers are easy to maintain and have the functions of lighting, enhancing urban landscapes, and advertising.

  Where are noise barriers suitable for use?

  Noise barriers are mainly used for sound insulation and noise reduction of noise sources such as highways and elevated composite roads. They can be divided into pure sound insulation and reflection type noise barriers and composite type noise barriers that combine sound absorption and sound insulation. The latter is a more effective sound insulation method, referring to wall-type structures set up beside railways and roads to reduce the impact of traffic noise on nearby residents. Soundproof walls are also called noise barriers.

  The noise barrier adopts a sound insulation structure. The side facing the noise source is an effective sound-absorbing barrier. It is placed between the noise source and the receiving point to prevent noise from directly radiating to the receiving point. This measure is simple and economical, and is suitable for some machinery and equipment in workshops that do not directly use fully enclosed sound insulation hoods and do not require noise reduction.

  Noise barriers are also suitable for outdoor occasions, separating the noise source from areas that need to be quiet. Some entertainment venues, such as KTVs, cinemas, and bars, also need to install soundproof walls to reduce noise. Noise barriers need to be installed around highways and railways with residents to ensure a quiet life for residents.

  Okay, thank you for watching, and see you next time.
