Abstract

Embodied carbon (EC) changes of bridges using PC and RC, were analyzed using BIM and One-Click LCA. Identically shaped, concrete bridges (RC, PC, superstructure-only PC, and substructure-only PC) were modeled; the bills of quantity were extracted and input into the LCA software for EC comparison. As a result, it was found that applying PC instead of RC is not necessarily a guaranteed method to reduce the EC of bridges. Sensitivity analysis on the EC according to concrete waste and material transportation distances of all models were conducted. References from a carbon perspective were presented for applying PC separately to superstructure and substructure. As a result, solutions for the application of PC were derived considering the changes in concrete waste and transportation distance of concrete inputs. Conclusively, it was analyzed that substructure-only PC is effective in reducing EC overall, regardless of the amount of concrete waste and transportation distance of inputs.

根据场外预制的应用情况确定 BIM 桥梁模型的含碳量：应用于上部结构和下部结构的预制混凝土

使用 BIM 和一键式生命周期评估分析了使用 PC 和 RC 的桥梁的内蕴碳（EC）变化。对形状相同的混凝土桥梁（RC、PC、纯上部结构 PC 和纯下部结构 PC）进行建模；提取工程量清单并输入生命周期评估软件，以进行 EC 比较。结果发现，用 PC 代替 RC 不一定能保证降低桥梁的 EC。根据所有模型的混凝土废料和材料运输距离，对 EC 进行了敏感性分析。从碳的角度提出了将 PC 分别应用于上部结构和下部结构的参考方案。因此，考虑到混凝土废料和混凝土投入品运输距离的变化，得出了应用 PC 的解决方案。最后，分析结果表明，无论混凝土废料的数量和投入物的运输距离如何，仅下部结构 PC 可有效减少整体的碳排放量。
