A study on life cycle analysis of asphalt pavements in Turkey

In order to assess the environmental impact of the asphalt pavement construction and maintenance in the 20 years of whole life of the highways as a designed period, the entire production and construction process for the asphalt layers, during initial construction and the maintenance, is analyzed by taking into consideration such things as resources (raw materials), energy consumption and main greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2, N2O and CH4, additionally CO. This study will show the result of life cycle analysis for the asphalt layers of the highways on a national scale in Turkey. Some of the input data is also compared with the European average data.
