This work presents sound insulation and sound reflection measurements conducted over
sonic crystal noise barriers according to the European standards EN 1793-2, EN 1793-5 and …

Shading devices are widely used in the Mediterranean area, since they reduce strong solar
radiation effects in the closed environment. On the contrary, they have negative effects on …

Green noise barriers have become an alternative means of reducing urban traffic noise. In
this paper, the acoustic performance of a modular greenery noise barrier is evaluated. In situ …

Noise barriers are a widely used technical measure to reduce noise immission from road
and rail transport. The simulation-based prediction of intrinsic acoustic properties allows a …

The evaluation of the effectiveness of noise barriers have addressed, in some research
studies, the intrinsic characteristics of barriers, such as noise absorption or transmission; in …

This article describes the development of a low-cost device for measuring the acoustic
intrinsic characteristics of noise barriers. The system is based on the Teensy 4.1 …

This paper highlights the 2015 state of the two parallel packages of European standards on
noise barriers and related devices acting on airborne sound propagation: one for roads, the …

The EN 1793-5 and EN 1793-6 standards have been in use for many years as a method for
measuring the intrinsic characteristics of noise barriers installed along highways and …

It is often necessary to check the intrinsic acoustic characteristics of installed noise barriers,
like sound reflection and airborne sound insulation, to verify their compliance to design …

A sonic crystal barrier, consisting of empty micro-perforated cylindrical shells, was built on
the campus at the Universitat Politècnica de València in 2011 and characterised by using a …
