Numerical simulation on the noise reduction of underwater pile-driving using a bubble curtain

Validation of dBSea, Underwater Noise Prediction Software. Pile Driving Focus

This report aims to characterise the prediction error of the different noise modelling algorithms used by the underwater noise prediction software “dBSea”. Two shallow water pile driving scenarios are presented, and the software’s prediction is matched against the measured real world data. The results of the comparison show that while you can get good results with a simple model based on spheri...

Measurement and Modelling of Underwater Noise from Pile Driving

Many coastal and offshore construction activities require the driving of piles into the seabed, either using impact or vibratory pile drivers. Impact pile driving produces an intense impulsive underwater noise that has been associated with fish deaths at very short range, whereas vibratory pile driving produces a lower level continuous noise. Because of the high sound levels involved, noise fro...

the effect of consciousness raising (c-r) on the reduction of translational errors: a case study

در دوره های آموزش ترجمه استادان بیشتر سعی دارند دانشجویان را با انواع متون آشنا سازند، درحالی که کمتر به خطاهای مکرر آنان در متن ترجمه شده می پردازند. اهمیت تحقیق حاضر مبنی بر ارتکاب مکرر خطاهای ترجمانی حتی بعد از گذراندن دوره های تخصصی ترجمه از سوی دانشجویان است. هدف از آن تاکید بر خطاهای رایج میان دانشجویان مترجمی و کاهش این خطاها با افزایش آگاهی و هوشیاری دانشجویان از بروز آنها است.از آنجا ک...

Investigation of the Performance of a Method to Reduce Pile Driving Generated Underwater Noise

Development of an air bubble curtain to reduce underwater noise of percussive piling.

Underwater bubbles can inhibit sound transmission through water due to density mismatch and concomitant reflection and absorption of sound waves. For the present study, a perforated rubber hose was used to produce a bubble curtain, or screen, around pile-driving activity in 6-8-m depth waters of western Hong Kong. The percussive hammer blow sounds of the pile driver were measured on 2 days at d...
