Life Cycle Assessment of construction materials: Methodologies ...
The construction industry has a significant impact on the environment, accounting for a substantial portion of resource consumption, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Construction materials play a crucial role in determining the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a valuable tool that allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental ...
Assessing and mitigating environmental impacts of construction ...
The production of essential construction materials, including steel, aluminum, cement, concrete, and plastics, is highly energy-intensive and generates substantial pollution [4]. This intense, short-term environmental impact poses a significant threat to ecosystems and local environments.
Case Studies in Construction Materials - ScienceDirect
Case Studies in Construction Materials covers a wide range of materials and technology including: cement, concrete, reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibres, recycled materials and by-products, sealants, and adhesives.
Sustainability through materials: A review of green options in construction
The materials selected, how they are used, and the quality of construction all have a part in determining a building's energy performance (Agencia Internacional de Energía, 2018). Emissions from the construction industry are largely attributable to the manufacturing of carbon-intensive materials like concrete and steel (Batayneh et al., 2007).
Artificial-intelligence-led revolution of construction materials: From ...
Construction materials are the most closely integrated material systems with industry. The recent explosive development of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and Industry 4.0 provide the chance for introducing cutting-edge digital technologies to the development of conventional industry practices. We are focused on the unique challenges of the construction industry and review the ...

A holistic sustainability overview of hemp as building and highway ...
On the demand side of developing sustainable construction materials, the affordability of hemp-constructed buildings for occupants, whether buyers or tenants, is a key consideration. From the occupant's standpoint, the benefits of a hemp-constructed building, particularly in terms of energy savings, must outweigh its initial cost [26].
