Project N.13
Title:
Life cycle analysis
of AAM concrete structures
Objectives
The green profile of AAM structures is a key-selling-point. The main objective of ESR13 is an in-depth assessment of the environmental performance of AAM structures compared to traditional OPC-based concrete in comparable structures. Research objectives are:
| 1) | To perform a literature study and get acquainted with the subject matter of AAM concrete. |
| 2) | To study the LCA of new structures with AAM concrete and of existing structures rehabilitated with AAM-TRM, in due consideration of the service life assessment. |
| 3) | Development of recommendations for LCA of AAM concrete as a function of various use cases. |
Propose an environmental assessment in accordance to EU calculation scheme in order to foster the implementation of AAM in EU market
Expected Results
| 1) | Approach for AAM concrete structures and related service life aspects; |
| 2) | an LCA framework for AAM-based structures, compliant with the service life limit state framework of ESR12; |
| 3) | approaches and related LCA models, including inventory data, for AAM-based structures; |
| 4) | sustainability design guidelines and related cases studies of LCA performance of AAM concrete in construction and rehabilitation. |
