Abstract
The aim of this work is to carry out a comparative analysis of environmental impacts for different scenarios of a typical local road. Life Cycle ssessment (LCA) is the modeling tool used to quantify and characterize comparative environmental impacts. In carrying out this specific application of the LCA, different road construction techniques were considered with regards to the whole structure and compared in order to identify the best alternative in terms of environmental sustainability
