The present work is devoted to the assessment of noise pollution in the residential district, Bolshoye Savino in Perm aircraft from the city airport. Considered noise regime of the territory of the recreation area.

Purpose of the study

Establishing compliance with the acoustic conditions of stay of people in areas recreation areas located in the area of noise impact of air transport. The goal is achieved by means of the following tasks:

1. Identification of the main sources of noise affecting persons on the territory of the recreation area of the neighborhood.

2. Analytical review of the existing Russian system of sanitary, technical and construction standardization in the field of sound proofing and confirmation of the justification of the applicability of these rules of acceptable noise for local objects.

3. Comparison of analytical results with current Russian sanitary norms of acceptable noise in the territory of the inspected object and detecting deviations from them.

4. Develop a list and focus on practical recommendations for sound insulation in case of exceeding the norms of allowable noise.

Materials and methods of research

The task of creating an acoustically safe environment of location of population in residential areas of noise protection measures was decided on the basis of system approach. Analytical studies were carried out using the methods of applied acoustics, mathematical statistics and computer simulation.

Results of research and their discussion

According to the SN 2.2.4/2.1.8.562-96 “Noise at workplaces, in residential and public buildings and residential areas” [3] and BNR 23-03-2003 “noise Protection” of the updated version 2011 [4] the calculation and assessment of traffic noise shall be as the maximum LAmax sound levels (in dBA) and the equivalent sound levels LAeqv (in dBA) created in our case aviation source close to residential areas.

Rationing is set for regulated intervals daytime. Regulated time intervals are 16 hours of day time (from 7-00 to 23-00). The main source of noise presented individual aircraft that are flying in the zone of the airport in Perm

In the evaluation of community noise to sanitary and hygienic requirements are governed by the maximum permissible noise levels at rest areas. In Table 1 given the criteria for the regulation of noise on areas and rest areas [3].

Prediction of the noise regime of the studied objects of protection is reduced to the calculation of sound levels in them on the basis of acoustic characteristics of the source Lp, subject to the laws of distribution of external noise in the surrounding development the study area. As data input for the acoustic calculation of the accepted value of the measured levels of sound characteristics of sound sources Lp.

The above relation is implemented in the form of a special PC program. With its help estimation, the forecast and the visualization of the noise regime of the investigated objects of protection. The estimated models are presented in the form of maps of sound fields in the following way. The scheme (3D model [1, 2]) of the study area shows the sources of noise and objects of protection are placed in a Cartesian coordinate system. By calculation and using the results of the instrumental field measurements to determine the levels of the sound source.

In the second stage estimation the noise regime in the study area carried out the theoretical calculation and subsequent visualization of sound fields indicating the numerical values of the expected sound levels in the most typical design points that were selected:

– the facade of a residential building № 2 at 2 m from the facade of the building on the second and fifth floor at a height of 6 and 17 m from ground level);

– on-site residential development at a height of 1,5 m from ground level.

The estimated model is presented in the form of maps of sound fields in Fig. 1. Evaluation and review of the noise regime in the study area taking into account the effect of aircraft noise in “shelter” are presented below in Tables 1–7.

From Fig. 1 shows that the expected maximum levels of external noise in the protected area are compared to 71,0 dBA.

Estimation of a noise mode in the “shelter”

In the shelter children’s play and recreation facilities, adopted a pergola of steel frame with cladding made of organic glass (Plexiglas Soudstop) density 1190 kg/m3 thickness of 25 mm. Its space planning solution represented in Fig. 2. Calculation of airborne sound insulation of enclosing structures made of monolithic organic glass (Plexiglas Soudstop) density 1190 kg/m3 25 mm thick and is graphically presented in Fig. 2. In all calculation methods are taken from [5].

The calculation of expected sound insulation of the shelter Plexiglas Soudstop h = 25 mm, surface mass of material m = 29,7 kg/m2:

Built the frequency characteristics of airborne sound insulation one Plexiglas Soudstop. Found the coordinates of the points B and C at the Table 11 [5]: fB = 17000/15 = 1133 Hz; take the next teractive 1250 Hz. RВ = 37 dB; fC = 34000/15 = 2266 Hz; take the next teractive 2500 Hz.

From point To cut down conducted the VA with a slope of 4,5 dB per octave, from point C up held cut a CD with a rise of 7,5 dB per octave. Received broken line ABCD represents the frequency characteristic of airborne sound insulation of a single layer of Plexiglas Soudstop surface density m1 = 15 kg/m2.

The acoustic effectiveness of sliding doors

Calculation of acoustic efficiency of the installation of doors in the shelter of Plexiglas Soudstop 15 mm thick carried out тas follows.

1. Taken during a full door opening for entry and exit of people – 20 minutes during the hour in the daytime.

2. It is known that the sum of the two noise levels for a larger correction 0 dB when the difference between folding levels more than 20 dB. In our case, the equivalent noise level in front of the door to the shelter 71 dBA, and the acoustic performance of the door of Plexiglas Soudstop 15 mm or 24,3 dB (see Table 3).

3. Calculation of equivalent (by energy) of the noise level in the entrance vestibule of the shelter after the passage of the door (closed 40 minutes – acoustic efficiency of 24,3 dB and open a 20 – minute acoustic performance – 0 dBA) will carry out in a known manner, applied acoustics.

4. Calculation of noise passed through the door open for 20 minutes during the hour according to known methods applied acoustics gave the result 66,2 dB. Consequently the acoustic efficiency of application of sliding doors open 20 minutes during the hours of operation will be:

71 dBA – 66,2 dB = 4,8 dB.

Conclusions

1. The acoustic effectiveness of the decision of the shelter (Fig. 2) is determined by the following factors: – Input nodes in the shelter are equipped with vestibules, where the front surface of the sound energy takes place not less than 90°.

– The parameter determining the effectiveness of shelter is the surface density of organic glass (Plexiglas Soudstop – 1190 kg/m3) thickness of 25 mm the Geometry of the premises of the shelter and its volume will affect the acoustic performance is not significantly.

2. Octave sound levels in the shelter exceeds the sanitary standard at a frequency of 500 Hz, 0,9 dB, respectively (see Table. 7 p. 8). In accordance with the provisions of applied acoustics, exceeding in the spectrum allowed in 3 octaves up to 3 dB, in the absence of exceeding the corrected sound level in dBA (in our case in room 45 dBA expected levels consists of 43,5 dBA.

3. Total equivalent corrected level of sound on a scale of A shelter is 43,5 dBA, which exceeds the norm corrected permissible sound levels for recreation facilities on the territory of microdistricts and groups of apartment houses, component of 45 dB. Equivalent sound level in the territory of 57,3 dBA, it follows that the noise-reducing efficiency of the shelter is 13,8 dB.

4. As an additional option to achieve the norms of a device sliding tambour doors at the entrance to the shelter that will be opened for pass of people within 20 minutes of the hours of operation. This event will have an efficiency of 4,8 dB. Doors are made of Plexiglas Soudstop single thickness of 15 mm.
