Pavement Life-Cycle Assessment

An increasing number of agencies, academic institutes, and governmental and industrial bodies are embracing the principles of sustainability in managing their activities and conducting business. As a sustainability quantitative measurement tool, life-cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly used in Europe and is being integrated into green construction regulations in several countries. This symposium will focus on the implementation of LCA for pavements in North America and around the world, and aims to review the current status of LCA implementation for project- and network-level applications, identify the extent of consensus and discuss future developments for pavement LCA implementation.
