| Abstract |
Recently, many people have been damaged seriously by construction noise. Accordingly, there have been increased the complaints and disputes. These complaints should be controlled strictly. Otherwise there could be delays or stops of project and losses of time and money. For this reasons, the Korean government is trying to convert from depending on the soundproof wall to noise control system focusing on noise sources. However, it is difficult to control the noise which is generated from construction site because construction equipment has very high noise level and construction noise generates temporarily and irregularly. Also, people do not know how much low frequency affect human body adversely because they cannot perceive low frequency noise easily. Hence, recently developed countries have conducted the research on the low frequency noise which damages on human physically and mentally. However, passive noise control is insufficient to reduce the low frequency noise, but only efficient to lower the high frequency noise. Thus, an approach which can complement limitations of passive noise control is needed. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to suggest the noise management model using active noise control on construction site. Also, ANC simulation has been conducted to examine its applicability on construction equipment. As a result, it is expected that there will be a reduction of construction noise and demages, as well as both mental and physical damages. |
