Because many recent epidemiological studies have reported the associations of population’s proximity to high traffic roadways with adverse health effects, interest in how roadside structures affect the concentration of motor vehicle emitted pollutants in the near-road microenvironment has increased. These noise barriers may affect pollutant (for example: odor, carbon dioxide, particle et al.) concentrations around structure by blocking initial dispersion. This study examined the effects of roadside barriers on the flow patterns and dispersion of pollutants from high traffic highway. The effects of noise barriers were examined using commercial software FLUENT. The results show noise barriers increase concentration of near noise barrier wake region and decrease concentration in the faraway distance from noise barrier. The results also show far from emission position (between 100 m and 200 m) surface concentration of multi-barrier cases are 2 times lower than that of no barrier case.

본 연구는 도로안전 시설물의 풍하중에 의한 손상발생 사례를 토대로 현행 도로안전 시설물의 구조적 휨 성능을 평가하고 이에 대한 부재별 휨 성능개선을 위한 연구이다. 본 연구의 대상구조물로는 대표적인 도로안전시설물이며 풍하중에 대한 선행 피해사례가 밝혀진 방음벽 지주프레임을 대상으로 고려하였으며 이들 지주프레임의 휨 구조성능 및 형상설계에 대한 평가를 우선적으로 수행하였다. 본 연구평가 결과에서 나타난 현행 보강재의 구조적 성능을 토대로 중량 대비 구조적 강성이 우수한 유리섬유 강화플라스틱 (GFRP)을 활용하여 다양한 보강 형태에 따른 성능개선방법을 해석 및 실험적 연구를 통하여 수행하였다. 그 결과 효율적 성능개선을 위한 GFRP 적용방법의 경우 구조적, 시공적 측면에서 효율적인 것으로 평가되었고 자체적인 형상단면 최적설계를 통한 개선방법도 성능보강에 효과적인 것으로 해석적으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서 적용된 GFRP 단면보강 및 최적형상설계 연구는 향후 노후 도로안전 시설물의 풍하중 또는 태풍으로 인한 피해예방을 위한 기초자료로서 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Efforts to reduce noise in industrial application fields, such as automobiles, aircrafts, and plants have been gaining considerable attention while a sound proof wall to protect people from the noise has been intensively investigated by many researchers. In this study, our research group suggested creating a new sound proof wall composed of scrap aluminum chips and perforated plates in a commercial polyester sound proof wall, which was then successfully fabricated. This wall's sound absorption characteristics were measured by an impedance tube method. The sound absorption property was evaluated by measuring the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) to the standard, ASTM C 423-90a. The noise reduction coefficient of the sound proof wall composed of 3.5 vol.% and 7.5 vol.% of scrap aluminum chips relatively increased to 5% and 8% compared to the commercial polyester sound proof wall. The scrap aluminum perforated plate also relatively increased to 13% compared to the commercial polyester sound proof wall.

지난 2016년 12월 발표된 제1차 기후변화대응 기본계획(2017∼2036)에 따르면 우리나라는 효율적 기후변화 대응을 통한 저탄소 사회 구현을 목표로, 저탄소 에너지의 보편화, 기후산업의 주류화 등의 다양한 정책을 수립하여 국가 기후변화대응을 위한 지속적인 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이러한 노력으로 태양광 발전 관련 산업이 발전하고 있으며, 구조공학 분야에서도 태 양광 방음벽 등의 설치가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 최근 국지적인 돌풍에 의한 산업시설물의 외장재 및 방음벽 피해 가 빈번히 발생하고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 과거 40년 이상의 기상관측자료를 이용하여 기후변화에 따른 풍속의 특 성을 조사하였고, 풍동실험을 통해 방음벽의 모서리 형상 변화에 따른 풍하중의 특성을 조사하였다.

This study was carried out on the upgrading of the noise barrier top device developed by 400km/h high speed railway infra research. By modifying the inner shape of the top device installed on noise barrier top, the performance of the first-stage top device was improved, and the weight was greatly reduced as compared with the first stage top device. In addition, the upper part was completed without an installation fixture by the integral method, and the construction was greatly improved. Finally, the upgraded top device was installed on the HONAM high speed railway site and its performance was verified.

Due to recent climate changes, damage to the soundproof wall due to typhoons and strong winds is on the rise. This study determine the fragility curve of aluminum frame, which is a weak member of the soundproofing wall, due to strong wind. The fragility was analyzed in term of aluminum frame thickness variation. Finite element analysis of the wall was performed with ABAQUS, a commercial program. Random wind loads applied to the structures were generated using the Monte Carlo simulation technique. Also, the limit state was set based on the analysis results. The fragility curves were developed with consideration of three influential factors which are installation location, wind exposure and thickness aluminium frame of soundproof wall.

This paper shows examples of damage of sound barrier supports during maintenance. Main causes of damage are wind load, bad construction and maintenance, vibration due to live load, etc. Finally, the measurements for these damaged cases are introduced in the freeway site.

유지관리를 고려하여 도시철도 자갈도상을 콘크리트 도상으로 교체함에 따라 증가되는 소음진동을 저감하는 방안으로 흡음판을 기존 운행 중인 터널 내부에 부착하는 방안이 다양하게 시도되고 잇다. 기존의 설계에 반영되어 있지 않은 새로운 유지관리, 안전, 화재 등 여러가지 간섭현상이 주요 문제점으로 부각되었다. 국내외 설계기준과 시도된 방안들의 문제점과 시공 및 유지관리를 고려한 요구조건을 비교 검토하여 현실성있는 설치방안을 제한하고자 한다.

In this study, will evaluate the performance of noise reduction devices for next generation high speed railway system of a train which has maximum speed over 400km/h. The core soundproof devices are the absorption block which reduces the reflection noise from concrete slab track and the interference device installed the top of noise barrier. Two types devices will be verified at 400km/h test section according to studied performance assessment at Hwang-san Kim-jae Chonbuk, Jeonbuk, Korea.
