| Abstract: |
Within the European research project “Sustainable Steel-Composite Bridges in Built Environment” (SBRI) a holistic approach was applied by combining analyses of environmental, economic and functional aspects. As bridge authorities were involved a valuable collection of real bridge data and a life-cycle scenario including maintenance strategies were elaborated. The integrated life-cycle analysis combining LCA, LCC and LCP is described here. Results of a case study for different motorway crossings are presented. Conclusions and recommendations for a sustainable life-cycle design are given. |
