Carbon footprint and energy used in mega underwater reinforced concrete structure

Most buildings or structures in the world have carbon footprint and energy consumption during the construction and operational phase in its entire life cycle. To date, little life cycle analysis with regards to this area has been done. This study is to consolidate all the information available from...

Description
Summary:Most buildings or structures in the world have carbon footprint and energy consumption during the construction and operational phase in its entire life cycle. To date, little life cycle analysis with regards to this area has been done. This study is to consolidate all the information available from various processes involved in construction and operation of a building structure, using the Cradle-to-Grave approach, where carbon footprint and energy consumption is being recorded from the very first mining activity of raw materials to the end of the useful life of the structure.
