The research proposes an approach based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate the environmental impact, which becomes one of the indicators for the design choice among the possible engineering solutions, in addition to the technical and economic one, for tunnel maintenance. The paper presents the first results of applying LCA on a typical tunnel section of Italian motorway, comparing three types of maintenance interventions targeting crack-type defects in concrete tunnels. The aim is to gather data on their environmental impacts to be used in the decision-making process during the planning phase of tunnel maintenance activities.

Abstract
The research proposes an approach based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate the environmental impact, which becomes one of the indicators for the design choice among the possible engineering solutions, in addition to the technical and economic one, for tunnel maintenance. The paper presents the first results of applying LCA on a typical tunnel section of Italian motorway, comparing three types of maintenance interventions targeting crack-type defects in concrete tunnels. The aim is to gather data on their environmental impacts to be used in the decision-making process during the planning phase of tunnel maintenance activities.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
