INFLUENCE OF SERVICE LIFE, STRENGTH AND CEMENT TYPE ON LIFE-CYCLE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE
Abstract eng: A proper understanding and measurement of the environmental implications arising from cement and concrete manufacturing is critical for the construction industry. This paper uses LCA to measure environmental loads of concrete with different cement types (CPI-S-32, CPII-E-32 and CPIII-32) and characteristic compressive cylinder strength at 28 days (fck) between 25 to 60 MPa. Environmental impacts were normalized by (years of) service life. Results highlighted the role played by the type and content of cement on concrete’s total environmental impact. And made evident service life consideration is paramount for the interpretation of environmental indicators.
