Impacts of the Design Methods of Drilled Shafts in Sand on the Environment
Publication: Geo-Chicago 2016
Abstract
Drilled shafts can be designed in various ways depending on the assumptions involved. However, the difference between the different design methods manifests significantly in terms of environmental impacts. In order to study this aspect systematically, drilled shafts are designed using eight different design methods for a homogeneous and a layered sand profile. The environmental impacts of the different designs are evaluated by life cycle assessment (LCA). Parametric studies are performed to study the impact of soil properties on the environmental impacts.
