Nutrient runoff in the agricultural upper regions of the Mississippi River creates a hypoxic “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico, which had an average size of over 6,600 sq mi from 2004 to 2008.
A Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment Tool for Comparing Bridge Deck Designs
Abstract:
A life cycle assessment (LCA) model was developed to compare the sustainability of alternative concrete bridge deck designs: one a conventional steel reinforced concrete (SRC) deck with mechanical steel expansion joints, and the other an SRC deck with engineered cementitious composite (ECC) link slabs.
