Sustainability considerations for tunnel projects
J. Sauer & O. Fischer
Chair of Concrete and Masonry Structures, Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany
ABSTRACT: Sustainability and the associated environmental protection is one main issue in present time.
The question of sustainability is also interesting in civil engineering. Many public databases are available to
get ecological parameters like CO

2
E-emissions of concrete are just given for a few
different ...
