ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is recognized as one of the most comprehensive ways to evaluate the environmental impacts of different strategies associated with a physical feature such as highway pavement structures, bridges and vertical structures. Alternatively, Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is performed by different agencies including Manitoba Infrastructure (MI) to select the most cost-effective construction option or life cycle strategy. Highway agencies started to realize the need to combine the LCA and LCCA in the design, construction and management of roadway assets.
