Life Cycle Assessment for Reinforced Concrete Beams

1. Introduction

Ageing assets in steel rolling mills require better diagnostic tools grounded in a clear picture of reinforced concrete beams. Comparative baselines were established before applying life cycle assessment to the target problem. Sensitivity analysis showed that reinforced concrete beams accounted for most of the output variability. Operators stand to benefit from earlier fault detection and reduced unplanned downtime.
