Anticipated Benefits
The expected benefits of the proposed project are twofold: In terms of the reduction of carbon footprint, this project’s outcome is expected to develop structural elements with at least 50% less embodied carbon dioxide compared to the conventional structural elements. Similarly, digital construction will result in significant material and formwork savings, which further reduce the embodied carbon dioxide. Without jeopardizing the expected strength and durability, the outcome of this project will directly help transform the sustainability of transportation infrastructure in Iowa.
