Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Concrete Pavements
• BASICS of LCA for CONCRETE PAVEMENTS
Eric Ferrebee, Technical Services Engineer-ACPA
Creating sustainable infrastructure requires evaluation and balancing of economic, environmental, and societal impacts. Evaluating economic impacts is fairly well understood and accepted through the process of Life-Cycle Cost Analysis. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools allow users to quantify the environmental impacts. A number of Pavement LCA tools have been recently developed, which can be used to evaluate environmental impacts of a roadway from the creation of the raw materials all the way to the end of the pavement’s life, i.e., cradle to grave. The first part of the webinar will introduce what a Pavement LCA includes and look at some of the tools that are available to evaluate the benefits and tradeoffs of constructing concrete pavement.
• CONCRETE PAVEMENT LCA EXAMPLES
Tim Smith, Senior Director-Built Environment, Transportation and Public Works-Cement Association of Canada and Director-ISCP
This presentation will review the use of the Athena Pavement LCA tool for a roadway over a user-selected analysis period. The presentation will review how the user is able to enter their own pavement structures to determine the environmental impact over nine life cycle impact assessment measures. In addition, the presentation will show how the user can look at various types of pavements to determine the LCA for each product.
