O desenvolvimento urbano que se verificou em Portugal nas últimas décadas do século 20 foi acompanhado por um rápido e elevado crescimento do tráfego e, consequentemente, pela construção de vias rodoviárias quer urbanas quer rurais. A partir do ano 1980, as políticas de controlo do ruído levaram as administrações rodoviárias e os construtores a aplicarem medidas de mitigação do ruído que passaram sobretudo pela...
Normal incidence sound absorption coefficient of materials is usually calculated with the use of an impedance tube following the ISO 10534-2 international standard. The same is applied in the evaluation of the sound absorption characteristics of pavement mixtures. In this research an impedance tube which was specifically designed to be used in field conditions has been developed. In order test the tube six asph...
Sound absorption is a material property which contributes to reduce noise levels when sound propagates from the source to the receiver. Porous materials have particularly good absorption characteristics, not only because of the high percentage of air voids, but also due to their flow resistance and tortuosity. Road surface layers made of gap graded mixtures are among those absorptive materials. Because these mi...
