This paper aims at investigating the material and dimensions of a wall barrier such as installation depth, thickness, and distance from vibration source by means of finite element method (FEM). In this study, various materials such as concrete, EPS, and steel were adopted. The results showed that the efficiency of a wall barrier appears to be more dependent on installation depth than thickness. In addition, a concrete wall barrier is less efficient than any other wall barrier. In contrast, EPS wall barriers seem to be much sensitive to the wall thickness than the depth.
