A Study on material performance tests of track noise absorber

도상흡음재의 재료성능 시험결과에 관한 고찰

The construction of concrete slab track system is increased recently because the system has advantages which are maintenance free and so on. However, the noise level on slab track is 3 db(A) higher than the one on ballast track since most of noise is reflected on slab track. Currently, concrete slab track systems has been designed for Gyungbu high speed line stage 2 and Honam high speed line. For those tracks, noise absorbing blocks are considered. Therefore, test methods and proper criteria for structural performance and reduction efficiency of noise absorbing blocks are required. In this study, tests were performed according to established test methods and criteria in previous study and the results have done comparative analysis.
