This guide offers several strategies for material selection and proportioning that transportation agencies and contractors can use to reduce the cradle-to-gate embodied carbon emissions of paving concrete.
Although focused primarily on mixtures for paving, many of the strategies presented can be extended to concrete mixtures for other applications, including structural and ancillary uses.
