Abstract
Bridges consume a great number of resources during their lifecycle for construction, maintenance and demolition activities. Recently global warming has been considered as a serious threat to the human society that is caused due to emission of greenhouse gases by anthropogenic activities. In this study, a system is developed to estimate the lifecycle CO2 emissions and costs of bridges using available database and information. This study aims to find the proportions of environmental impact and cost of each lifecycle stage of the bridge.
