The use of buildings in which elements screen acoustic weak points on the facade from direct exposure to noise has often been suggested for areas affected by traffic noise. David J. Oldhamt and Effat A. Mohsen** analyze the results of computer simulation and scale model experiments on typical self-protecting building forms. From these studies came a design chart suitable for predicting the performance of a given self-protecting building. *
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
