The study determined that, on average, 39.7 Mt of raw materials are consumed per year and 4.92 x 109 kg CO2-e emissions are emitted per year to produce cement and aggregates for concrete production in South Africa. 展开 关键词: CO2-e emissions Concrete industry Environmental burden South Af...
concrete (RAC). However, according to results analyses, the performance of RAC is reliable up to 50% of RFA in proposed conditions and mix design. In addition, major environmental impacts such as global warming potential, aquatic eutrophication, and aquatic acidification were reduced by 47%, 40%...

When using industrial by-products as cement replacing material in 'green' concrete, an economical allocation of impacts is recommended. Inventory data on energy use, CO2, PM10, SOx and NOx emissions were collected and assigned to the impact categories of the problem oriented CML 2002 and the ...
“As understanding and access to data improves about the holistic environmental impacts of concrete in different contexts, it is likely that on occasion difficult decisions will have to be made about which strategy to implement when trade-offs exist. For example – is it desirable to use an indu...
Subsequently, 10 types of building materials and 10 types of building services components have been identified for their significant lifecycle environmental impacts on commercial buildings. Among all, concrete, reinforcement bar, copper power cables, and copper busbars were ranked to be the four most ...
Concrete paving eco-blocks using recycled materials derived from locally generated C&D waste and waste glass have been developed in Hong Kong and achieved its current advanced form with the continuous improvement. Therefore, this study aims to assess and compare the environmental impacts and ...
The results clearly indicate that continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) is the most sustainable choice and much preferable to the other alternatives for minimizing negative environmental, economic and social impacts from the life-cycle perspective. This finding champions a wider adoption of ...
