Abstract
To fulfil the needs of the future, the Australian building sector seems to contemplate toward sustainable design. This paper presents a computer-aided model to calculate life-cycle carbon emissions for conventional and high-strength concrete to maximise Credit 19B.1: Life-cycle impacts—Concrete in the Green Star Design & As Built in Australia (GBCA 2015). The model has been built using Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic platforms, thus it is flexible and may be one of the simplest ways for concrete strength optimisation and its life-cycle carbon emissions. The model has been rigorously verified against manual calculation and existing findings such as ACI 211.4R-08 (American Concrete Institute 2008). Options to maximise Credit 19B.1 will be discussed for normal- and high-strength concrete containing aggregate, reclaimed water and alternative fine aggregate.
