| Workshop Objectives |
The following are the specific objectives behind organizing the workshop:
- To present the methodology for LCA for the use FRP in construction and infrastructure in view of a comprehensive set of environmental, social, and economic indicators.
- To present the comparison of different alternative cases with FRP and without FRP, and to show the cases where FRP is suitable as construction materials.
- To discuss on investments made, economic incentives derived, and sustainability of advanced engineered materials used in bridge infrastructures.
- To present tasks for the future.
