Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest baseline concrete selection method for environmental impact assessment of concrete as part of study on the development of concrete life cycle assessment system. For this purpose, environmental impact was assessed for 6 environmental impact categories including Global Warming Potential(GWP), Abiotic Depletion Potential(ADP), Ozone Depletion Potential(ODP), Acidification Potential(AP), Eutrophication Potential(EP) and Photochemical Oxidant Creation Potential(POCP) using mix design DB used in concrete field. Furthermore, Correlation of baseline concrete has been analyzed by the results with Average, High rank 20% and Mode of environmental impact assessment of concrete. As a result, Baseline concrete Selection method using Mode is judged to be the most proper method at present. Through the analysis of environmental impact of baseline concrete, it is possible to use the indicator as baseline data when environmental friendly concrete assessment system is developed.
