Final report on the long-term acoustic performance of airport sound insulation treatments and factors affecting durability.
Final report for ACRP Project 02-31 prepared for the Transportation Research Board of The National Academies. It reviews the long-term performance of airport sound insulation treatments, examines evidence of deterioration in early programs, and summarizes findings from field measurements, literature review, and program data.
The report focuses on how installation quality, homeowner modifications, maintenance, weathering, and product design affect acoustic performance over time.
Application Scope: Airport sound insulation program planning, residential noise reduction evaluation, durability review, and acoustical performance assessment.
