TRAFFIC NOISE ATTENUATION DUE TO SINGLE AND PARALLEL BARRIERS ---INTERNOISE 84. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION FOR NOISE CONTROL. PROCEEDINGS 1984 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NOISE CONTROL ENGINEERING, HONOLULU, HAWAII, 3-5 DECEMBER 1984, VOLUMES 1 AND 2.

Noise measurements carried out on a six-lane expressway in Calgary, Alberta are reported. Details are given of barrier construction and noise measurement sites. Reflective parallel barriers separated by 40 m and erected on an acoustically soft site adjoining the road caused a reduction in insertion loss compared to that due to a single barrier under the same conditions. For sites with complicated geometrics no clear conclusions were possible. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 816933.
