Scale Model Study of Los Angeles International Airport
Publication: Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE
Volume 101, Issue 3
Abstract
Property acquisition along the north boundary of Los Angeles International Airport was anticipated to expose previously shielded residents to aircraft ground operations. As a result, the installation of a noise barrier was proposed. Possible designs and locations of this barrier were studied using a 3,000-sq ft (280-m²) acoustic model and scaled aircraft noise sources. The acoustic accuracy of the model was verified by means of field tests. The simplest barrier that replaces the shielding effectiveness of the acquired houses is a 20-ft (6.1-m) high wall.
