Life Cycle Assessment and Cost Analysis of Green Concrete Mixtures for Sustainable Construction Using SimaPro Software

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study assesses green concrete made by replacing Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Fly Ash. Experimental tests and life cycle analysis using SimaPro v9 and Ecoinvent show the mixes meet M30 compressive strength while cutting CO₂ emissions, acidification, and resource depletion. Reduced clinker use lowers embodied energy and costs, enhancing economic feasibility. Findings align with global research, confirming technical reliability and sustainability
