Description

A concrete environmental impact assessment method based on life cycle theory Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of concrete construction, and in particular relates to a concrete environmental impact assessment method based on life cycle theory. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, large-scale construction and the vigorous development of civil engineering have become an inevitable trend in the era. With the increasing number of large-scale concrete projects being put into construction and development, the difficulty and working environment are becoming increasingly challenging. Various high-performance concretes and specialized concretes adapted to the working environment have emerged. However, due to the high demand for concrete and the complex construction processes, the energy and material consumption in concrete construction is inevitably immeasurable. In order to actively respond to the strategic deployment of the "dual carbon" strategy, how to objectively and holistically evaluate the environmental impact of different concrete construction processes has become a critical issue.

[0003] After nearly 50 years of development, life cycle assessment (LCA) has been adopted by the ISO 14000 environmental management standards, becoming a key support tool for international environmental management and product design. It focuses on the environmental impact of a product's entire life cycle, from raw material acquisition and processing, product processing and production, distribution and transportation, use and maintenance, to recycling and final disposal of waste products. It then develops appropriate measures and methods to reduce these impacts. It represents a new environmental management model aligned with sustainable development strategies. Currently, there is no research integrating the LCA with concrete engineering to assess its environmental impact. The main reasons are as follows: First, existing concrete engineering evaluation indicators and methods are largely developed voluntarily by institutions and enterprises, often focusing on specific areas or technologies, hindering their universal application. Second, there is a lack of a comprehensive, multi-dimensional database for LCA data. Concrete construction techniques and requirements vary widely across regions, making it difficult to apply a single metric. In addition, with the development of scientific research level and construction technology of concrete materials, many green new concrete and energy-saving and emission-reduction concrete construction processes are also in the development stage, and the evaluation of such "dual carbon" products also needs to be systematically considered.

Standardization is performed in the environmental impact assessment to evaluate the environmental impact indicators of the entire life cycle. The energy consumption in the inventory is standardized to determine the environmental impact assessment status within the life cycle. Continuous machine learning is then used to determine the weight factor value of each environmental impact type within the life cycle of concrete. Finally, the weighted summation is performed to obtain the total impact of concrete within the entire life cycle. The specific process is as follows:

The standardization formula for determining the environmental impact type is:

[0024] Where NEI j is the normalized result of the j-th environmental impact type index; NR j is the standardized benchmark for the jth environmental impact type;

[0025] The weighted calculation formula for the environmental impact type index and the life cycle total environmental impact index is: WNEI j =NEI j ×WF j (3)

[0026] Where WNEI j is the weighted result of the j-th environmental impact type index; WF j is the weight factor of the jth environmental impact type; TWNEI is the total life cycle environmental impact index.

[0027] In step S6, various energy indicators of concrete throughout its life cycle are analyzed and evaluated to complete the environmental impact assessment of concrete. The specific process is as follows: if the concrete project is in the planning stage, different construction plans for the construction project are compared through life cycle assessment, and a construction plan that saves energy and reduces emissions is selected; if the concrete project is completed or under construction, post-project prevention, control, and maintenance measures are implemented based on the life cycle assessment analysis.

It can also be refined to the proportion of each impact type in each stage, as shown in Table 10.

[0080] This concrete project is in the planning phase. Table 8 shows that the construction phase accounts for the largest share of non-biological energy consumption, or petroleum, during the entire life cycle of the mineral powder concrete project, at 91.3%. Furthermore, the construction phase accounts for the largest share for nearly every impact indicator, indicating that the construction phase, including construction, operation, and maintenance, is the most important, energy-intensive, and environmentally impactful phase of the concrete project's life cycle. Table 9 shows that, within the entire mineral powder concrete project life cycle planning, its non-biological energy consumption accounts for only 1.61% and its global warming potential accounts for only 1.06%, indicating that this project is a low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly project with low carbon emissions and a low proportion of non-renewable resources. In contrast, its light pollution and atmospheric acidification impacts require monitoring and control in conjunction with the construction organization plan. A combination of Tables 9 and 10 shows that, in this concrete project plan, the photochemical impact during the construction phase accounts for the largest share, and the atmospheric acidification impact during the preparation phase accounts for the largest share. Therefore, when the project officially commences, relevant departments should be reminded to implement preventive measures and rectification measures for concrete production activities during this phase.
