Life Cycle Assessment of structural components in a Brazilian airport complex / Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida de Componentes Estruturais em um Complexo Aeroportuário Brasileiro
Abstract:Concerns about environmental impacts arising from the construction industry are growing, in which concrete is one of the most adopted materials. The environmental impact of cement production is known; however, to classify whether a material has a low environmental impact ot not, an approach that considers the impacts throughout its life cycle is necessary. Thus, the life cycle assessment (LCA) emerged as a relevant tool to measure environmental impacts and compare with alternative material options. This resear… Show more
