Abstract

A new type of noise barrier with a fairing plate has been proposed to improve the aerodynamic stability of viaducts with noise barriers. However, such appendage is likely to lower the sound shielding efficiency. In this study, the sound shielding efficiency of the noise barrier with a fairing plate is examined through BEM. It is found that the sound shielding efficiency is higher, as the diffraction frequency is more abounding. The sound shielding efficiency is remarkably improved by the installation of sound absorbing materials to the upper surface of the fairing plate.
