Investigation of the Effect of Traffic Noise in Inspection of Urban-Level Noise: a Noise Analysis in Konya - Nalcaci Street
(2021) Özen, Zeyneo Ümmühatun; Tosun, Mustafa; Yasa, Enes
In this study, the effects of noise, due to the increase in population in urban centers, industrialization and land traffic, are evaluated on human health, indoor life standards, and auditory comfort. For this purpose, noise levels were recorded in Ahmet Hilmi Nalcaci Street, which is one of the densest streets of Konya. The recordings were performed at 14 different stations, three times a day and for 14 days. A "Testo 815" brand device was used for measurement and recording. The results of the measurements were evaluated according to international standards and domestic regulations, taking into account the situations where windows and doors, which constitute integrity and blanks in the envelope of a structure, are open. It was determined that the noise levels recorded at the stations are above the discomfort threshold. Settlement-and architecture-level measures to reduce and control noise are suggested in the study. It was determined that the most effective measure in this context would be isolation in structure envelopes. Types of walls generally used in the buildings around the street, which is the subject of the study, were determined and the sound penetration loss values for these walls were given. The sound penetration loss values were also compared to indoor noise limit values in certain measurement points and excessive noise values were presented in the study.
A Software Model for Parameters Affecting the Dimensions of Reinforced Concrete Prefabricated Facade Elements
(2021) Tosun, Mustafa; Yasa, Enes
In this study, a model software of a computer program related to determining dimensional behavior, which will contribute to the multi-layered units used on the facade of industrial buildings to be standardized, has been prepared. By means of this model software, the factors determining the width (A), the height (h) and the section (d) of the units of a building facade, could be evaluated. These factors, at the same time, from the dimensions of building facade units providing “thermal insulation, sound insulation statically behavior and coordination dimension of facade unit.” In the program (named as MT2 Prefabrike), these four factors could be evaluated by providing the optimization in sequence and within themselves. Thus, by developing a new method of approach in the standardizing of facade units, apart from the visible characteristics of the units, the idea of standardizing the performance and behavior expected from the units, are put forward. In the model program formed with this idea, before producing of the facade units, the optimization is to be provided by analyzing the factors which are effective in giving dimension to the units, in abstract condition (computerized).
