摘要
This chapter presents a practical application of LCA within the context of nanotechnology in construction. Specifically, it focuses on an environmental evaluation aimed at determining the more sustainable alternative between a nano-silica-modified asphalt mixture and an unmodified asphalt mixture used in road paving. The practical exercise, titled Comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Unmodified and Nano-Silica-Modified Asphalt Mixtures for Road Paving: A Practical Exercise, provides a detailed comparison of the two materials, emphasizing their environmental implications across key life cycle stages. By integrating nanotechnology into conventional construction materials, this study contributes to the understanding of its potential environmental benefits and challenges, offering valuable insights for sustainable infrastructure development.
