Propose of Eco-efficiency Evaluation Method for Concrete

콘크리트의 에코효율성 평가방법 제안에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is to develop a method of evaluating eco-efficiency of concrete based on environmental load emission, manufacturing cost, and durability in the concrete production process. Eco-efficiency is an advanced concept used to evaluate eco-friendliness of concrete. This technique intends to produce environment-friendly and highly durable concrete while minimizing environmental load on the ecosystem and manufacturing cost based on the results of service life assessment on concrete. This technique can be utilized to efficiently evaluate sustainability of concrete and find methods to improve it. Furthermore, the vision of this study is to contribute to implementation of environment-friendly concrete and construction industry.
