NOISE ABATEMENT ON BRIDGES. NOISE DEVELOPMENT IN STEEL RAILWAY BRIDGES

The increasing importance of the consideration of questions of noise in the planning of railway bridges was the occasion for making the results of noise measurements on steel bridges already submitted, available in standardized form to a wider circle. Until the submission of a final Report on the current theoretical and practical investigations into the noise behaviour of bridges, the survey given by it can be of use in the choice of the bridge construction acoustically most favourable in specifically situated cases e.g. a densely settled residential district.
