Development and Description of a Computer Program for Predicting Impulse Noise Reduction by Barriers.

Abstract

Barriers have been proposed as a method of reducing impulse noise from blasts, artillery, and gunfire produced during Army training activities. To estimate the amount of noise reduction they provide, the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory has developed a computer program based on a pulse diffraction prediction method. This report documents the development of the program, outlines barrier design considerations, and describes how to use the program.
