Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: This scoping review investigates the modeling of concrete waste via the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Damage Cost. Through a systematic analysis of the present literature, key findings screen the significance of integrating LCA and Damage Cost models in comprehensively assessing the environmental and financial influences of concrete waste. Methodologically, a rigorous seeks method and inclusion criteria were used to select relevant studies. The synthesis of these studies underscores the growing fashion of adopting incorporated approaches, offering insights into both environmental and monetary dimensions. The scoping review contributes to the evolving discourse on sustainable concrete waste management, figuring out gaps and directing destiny research endeavors. The construction industry is a great contributor to environmental degradation, with concrete waste being a primary concern. This study explores the environmental impact of concrete waste through the combination of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Damage Cost Analysis (DCA). LCA provides a complete view of the environmental burdens associated with concrete production, use, and disposal, even as DCA assigns financial values to the environmental damages incurred. By combining those procedures, an extra holistic expertise of the environmental results of concrete waste is done.
