Abstract:
Based on the cradle-to-grave theory, this study evaluates the carbon emissions of seawater sea-sand recycled aggregate concrete (SSRAC). The results show a significant negative correlation between the water-to-cement ratio and carbon emissions. At a 100% replacement ratio, the carbon emissions of SSRAC show a reduction of 15.9% compared to seawater sea-sand concrete, which due to the carbonation process of RCA. And its carbon emissions account for 83.1% of those of natural aggregate concrete and 99.4% of those of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The reduction in carbon emissions of SSRAC is attributed to the substitution effect of RCA and the shorter transportation distance of raw materials, which results in a compensatory effect on carbon emissions. When the transportation distance is 20 km for coarse aggregate and 300 km for fine aggregate, the emissions of RAC exceed SSRAC by 876.9%, which demonstrates SSRAC's superior environmental performance in long-distance transportation scenarios.
