Recent Developments in Life Cycle Assessment and Service Life Prediction: A Review

摘要

In view of the gigantic and fast developing area of the building sector, the research on life cycle assessment (LCA) has been diversified into innumerable areas, range from various stages of material to the building components and complete building. This review paper aims to study the various LCA tools, applicable to the buildings sector according to their functionality. In this, every phase of LCA is thoroughly reviewed, and related conflicts are extracted. Further, different service life prediction models are also reviewed to evaluate the life of the selected structure based on durability concepts of concrete.
