Noise pollution generated by transport is acknowledged to be a major environmental problem. The use of environmental noise barriers, already widespread in Europe and the USA is now becoming increasingly important, changing the face of our road and railway networks. The public is increasingly aware of the problems of excessive noise levels and compensation costs will continue to grow unless and until the impact of traffic noise is reduced.Environmental Noise Barriers examines both the acoustical and landscaping issues affecting the design of barriers. By addressing the needs of the whole design team, this book provides expert guidance on good practice and highlights the pitfalls of poor design. Detailed consideration is given to materials, engineering, legal and environmental issues as well as the health and social impacts of noise barriers. The book illustrates the wide variety of design solutions for different acoustic and landscape situations in several European countries with a generous range of full colour photographs and concludes with information on manufacturers, products and services.
Environmental Noise Barriers is a unique one-step reference for practitioners, be they acoustic engineers, landscape architects or manufacturers and for highways departments in local and central authorities.
