Abstract:
This presentation will discuss the global warming potential (GWP) of internally cured (IC) concrete bridge decks. The GWP of several bridges will be calculated. Details of the calculations will be presented to discuss why details matter. A case will be made for the tremendous benefits that GWP calculations can bring. However, the shortcomings of the current industry approaches will also be discussed as well as issues to look out for in specification development.
