Abstract

This research aimed to prepare the classification of the damage types and the damage rating system of noise barriers for expressway noise barriers and to develop deterioration evaluation method of noise barriers by reflecting them. The noise barrier consists of soundproof panels, foundations and posts and the soundproof panels with 10 different types of materials are used in a single or mixed form.In this paper, damage of soundproof panel shows a single or composite damage, and thus a evaluation model of deterioration has been developed for noise barriers that can reflect the characteristic of noise barriers. Materials used mainly for soundproof walls were divided into material types for metal, plastic, timber, transparent and concrete. And damage types for noise barrier were classified into corrosion, discoloration, deformation, spalling and dislocation and damage types were subdivided according to the noise barrier's components and materials. Damage rating was divided into good, minor, normal and severe for each major part of noise barrier to assess damage rating of soundproof panel, foundation and post. The deterioration degree of noise barrier was evaluated comprehensively by using the deterioration evaluation method of whole noise barrier using weighted average. Deterioration evaluation method that can be systematically assessed has been developed for noise barrier using single or mixed soundproof panel and noise barrier with single or complex damage types. Through such an evaluation system, it is deemed that the deterioration status of noise barrier installed can be systematically understood and utilized for efficient maintenance planning and implementation for repair and improvement of noise barriers.

본 연구에서는 고속도로 방음벽을 대상으로 방음벽의 손상유형 분류 및 손상등급 체계를 마련하고 이를 반영한 방음벽 노후도 평가기법 개발을 목표로 하였다. 방음벽이 방음판, 기초, 지주로 구성되어 있고 10종의 다양한 재질이 활용되고 있는 방음판은 단일 또는 혼합형으로 사용되고 있으며, 방음판의 손상은 단일 또는 복합적인 손상을 나타내는 특징을 나타내고 있어 이러한 방음벽의 특징을 반영할 수 있는 방음벽 노후도 평가모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 방음벽에 주로 사용되고 있는 재질을 금속재, 플라스틱재, 목재, 투명재, 콘크리트재의 재질유형으로 나누고 또한, 각 재질별 손상유형을 부식, 변색, 변형, 깨짐, 탈리로 분류하여 방음벽의 손상유형을 방음벽 구성부재와 재질에 따라 세분화하였다. 방음벽 주요부위별로 각 손상유형별 손상등급을 양호, 경미, 보통, 심함으로 구분하여 방음판, 지주, 기초의 손상등급을 평가, 이를 바탕으로 부위별 노후도를 평가하여 가중평균을 통한 방음벽 전체의 노후도를 평가하는 방식을 통해서 종합적인 방음벽 노후화 정도를 평가하였다. 단일형 또는 혼합형 방음판을 사용하는 방음벽의 노후도 평가는 물론, 손상유형이 단일형 뿐만 아니라 복합형으로 나타나는 방음벽에 대해서도 체계적인 평가가 가능한 노후도 평가 기법을 개발하였으며, 이러한 평가시스템을 통하여, 현재 설치되어 있는 방음시설의 노후화 현황을 체계적으로 파악함은 물론, 이를 토대로 방음벽의 보수 및 개량을 위한 효율적인 유지관리 계획 및 시행에 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
