Concrete LCA

Design a concrete mix. Understand its carbon, material use and cost. Compare the possibilities. Concrete LCA brings concrete mix design and environmental assessment together in a clear, interactive calculator for students, educators and professionals exploring material choices. EXPLORE MIX DESIGNS Adjust strength, slump, exposure conditions, binders, aggregates and water. See calculated quantities and results update as you work. Start with a worked example or create your own mix. UNDERSTAND THE TRADE-OFFS Compare manufacturing and transport emissions, material circularity, waste and estimated cost per cubic metre. Review the assumptions behind your results and explore alternative materials. BUILD YOUR MATERIAL LIBRARY Edit material properties, transport distances and cost assumptions, or add custom materials for your calculations. SAVE, COMPARE AND SHARE Keep named mixes, compare alternatives side by side and export PDF reports. Work offline, with saved mixes and custom material data syncing through your private iCloud account when available. Concrete LCA implements the mix-design methodology and teaching workbook created by Dr Lloyd Dadd. App design and development by Grant Freeman at Freeman Labs. Results depend on the selected methodology and material data. The app supports learning and comparative assessment; project-specific design decisions require independent verification.
