Jullien et al. (2014) emphasized the role of design principles in all life cycle of roads to obtain deduction of environmental impacts by assessing different policies related to pavement maintenance.
The LCA tool is used also in pavement-related studies. Jullien et al. (2014) emphasized the role of design principles in all life cycle of roads to obtain deduction of environmental impacts by assessing different policies related to pavement maintenance. Mendoza et al. (2012) compared primary energy demand and global warming of different sidewalks by means of LCA tool. Finally, Araújo et al. (2014) developed new LCA methodology to evaluate the effects of alternatives for road construction using different phases of asphalt treatments.
