Using life Cycle assessment for development of co-relation factor of the structural materials with varying seismic zones in India
The study focuses on the carbon emissions produced by the building's structural materials. The results will be compared to determine a co-relation factor between the seismic zones, which will set a cap on the maximum amount of material that can be present in the studied seismic zones. A residential block unit prototype from BEE will be the subject of the study. Greenhouse gas reduction is one of the biggest challenges for mankind. All the industrial sectors are responsible for 25% of the global CO2,. 25% of the world's CO2 emissions are attributable to all industrial sectors. This is especially true for the cement sector, which is responsible for around 7% of the carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere (Fantilli, A.P. et al., 2019). To be more accurate, the production process accounts for 95% of CO2, while transportation of raw materials and cement-based composites accounts for the remaining 5% (Kajaste.R. et.all., 2016). We may quantify the materials to be utilised in the structure for different seismic zones using the study's findings. A life cycle analysis is used to determine the embodied energy. For carrying out the same task, EN 15978, ISO 14040, and ISO 14044 offer a technique and structure. Seismic zones are not considered in the embodied carbon baseline calculations. The study is significant since it fills in the information for the gap.
