Sound Absorption Performance Of Modified Concrete: A Review
Concrete, known as the second most consumed material in the world after water, is a versatile, inexpensive and durable construction material. Due to its high density, concrete is usually employed as rigid walls in buildings and also as sound barrier in highway. Researchers have proposed several meth...
