abstract = "A noise barrier design of the absorptive type, incorporating LECA	extregistered, a well know material used in civil engineering because of its above-average sound absorption characteristics, as a coating material, is presented. The performance of the barrier
was tested experimentally, using in situ measurements at Highway A2 in Portugal, and theoretically with MicroBruit a computer program for traffic noise prediction. In general, results indicate that absorptive noise barriers
made from concrete and coated with LECA	extregistered yield results similar to those obtained with uncoated reflective barriers.",
