Evaluation of the environmental and human health impact of road construction activities
This work presents the results of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of two different types of road crosssections
(i.e. embankment and trench sections) with the objective of calculating and analysing the
environmental and human health impact related to their construction processes. The geometrical and
technical characteristics of the examined sections comply with current Italian standards for minor
highways. After analysing a base case scenario, the study evaluated the influence of several transportation
