Safety Evaluation using Finite Element Modeling of Domestic Soundproofing Wall
Climate change resulted in the growing occurrence frequency of typhoons, and the damage it caused was also increasing. In this study, the soundproofing and windproof walls installed on the domestic road were modeled by using ABAQUS, a commercial finite element analysis program. Correspondingly, steel column, aluminum frame and transparent acrylic plate were modeled. Based on the result from individual part of soundproof wall model, the number of soundproof wall parts for optimal design was determined to be five parts. The design standard of road construction barrier was applied to this optimum model to perform the safety evaluation for strong wind disaster. In the future, it will be possible to improve the guidelines for design of soundproofing walls in Korea by carrying out further experiment to increase the reliability of safety evaluation of soundproofing walls.
