Noise Reduction Effect of Porous Asphalt Pavement Based on Acoustic-Structure Coupling Model

Nowadays, the traffic noise problem is becoming increasingly prominent. In order to study the influence of porosity and pore depth on the noise reduction performance of asphalt pavement, this paper used the software COMSOL Multiphysics to establish acoustic-structure coupling models, and simulated the sound absorption and noise reduction effect of asphalt pavement under 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% porosity; moreover, under the condition of unchanged asphalt pavement porosity, the sound absorption and noise reduction effect of asphalt pavement under 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, and 7cm pore depth was studied as well. The research results reveal that, with the increase of porosity and pore depth, the sound absorption and noise reduction effect of asphalt pavement gets better.
