Abstract
Looks at the carbon footprint associated with producing concrete box culverts, exploring the embodied carbon impacts in the supply of raw materials and in the manufacturing process. Establishes where hotspots have been identified, the calculations used and breaks them down into the production of aggregates, transport of aggregates, production of cement and transport of cement to factory, production and use of reinforcement steel, box culvert factory emissions, excluding temporary CO2 emissions and the final calculations for reinforced box culvert sizes.
