1 A Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment Framework for Geotechnical Engineering ERC Team Members CBBG Faculty Alissa Kendall, UC Davis Other Research Staff Graduate Students Alena Raymond James Tipton Undergraduate Students Project Goals The goal of this project is to develop a life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) framework for geotechnical engineering and to apply this framework to CBBG projects to encourage sustainability-oriented innovation in geotechnical solutions. The project's role in support of the strategic plan The LCSA framework is used to inform CBBG project selection and to guide innovation as projects mature through each of the 3-planes (i.e., fundamental knowledge, enabling technologies, and systems). The LCSA framework is also a mechanism for industry engagement through the development of benchmark LCSAs, which include cost assessments. Industry partners also inform assessment of feasibility and cost for proposed technologies (once research and development is sufficiently mature) as part of the LCSA process. Fundamental Research, Education, or Technology Advancement Barriers Fundamental research questions that must be answered to develop a standardized LCSA approach for evaluation of geotechnical systems include: 1) what is the appropriate scope and methods for environmental life cycle assessment (ELCA) of geotechnical systems; and 2) what level of detail and predictive capabilities are required for robust analysis outcomes at the research and development stage of technology development. Barriers to advancing this research include: 1) the maturity of CBBG projects, which affect the availability of data and information required for LCSA of a given technology; 2) the development of a life cycle inventory database and modeling approach to streamline assessment; and 3) collecting estimates of damage costs for pollutants to provide a mechanism for including pollution damage costs (i.e., externalities) in life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). Any research aspect that involves foreign collaborations, especially indicating the length of time US faculty or students spent abroad conducting their work, and vice versa, and the value added of that work to the student s/faculty s work. None to report. Achievements in previous years 1) Development, piloting, and dissemination of LCSA Questionnaire for CBBG project proposals. 2) Development of two Example LCSA Questionnaires for instructive purposes. 3) Completion of a comprehensive literature review of LCSA in the geotechnical field (with a focus on ELCA) to provide a critical review on the state of the practice, identify gaps,
2 and propose best practices for ELCA in the geotechnical engineering field. A manuscript for peer review was submitted in Achievements in past year 1) Revision and refinement of LCSA Questionnaire, which is now CBBG Annual Project Evaluation Report 2: Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (Report 2). Development of a standardized approach to rating and feedback of submitted Report 2s, entitled Summary LCSA Evaluation Statement (referred to as Outcomes Memo in last year s project report). 2) Completion of evaluation for all submitted Report 2s. This included two quantitative ELCAs for projects with enough data and information to support quantitative analysis (MICP and root-inspired foundations), and qualitative evaluations of all other submitted projects. 3) Acceptance and online publication of one peer-reviewed journal paper entitled Review of life-cycle-based environmental assessments of geotechnical systems ( This article critically reviews the body of previous work on LCA applied to geotechnical systems through a parametric assessment, summarizing the state-of-the-practice, identifying the sources of uncertainty and variability that lead to divergent results and conclusions, and developing recommendations for future LCAs of geotechnical systems. Table 1 below summarizes our findings with respect to previous studies, and illustrates the limited number of infrastructure types assessed and the relatively small number of peer-reviewed studies that have been published: Table 1.

3 Figure 1 describes the sources of variability and uncertainty in LCAs of geotechnical systems. Though some of these sources are common in LCAs of many types of systems, the site-specific nature of geotechnical solutions is a particular challenge for LCA. Figure 1. Sources of Variability and Uncertainty in Geotechnical LCA 4) Acceptance and online publication of one conference paper entitled Life-Cycle Assessment of Ground Improvement s for the Treasure Island, California, Redevelopment ( and accompanying presentation by Alena Raymond at the Geotechnical Frontiers 2017 conference in Orlando, Florida. This study compared the environmental and economic impacts of five ground improvement methods for the possible redevelopment of Treasure Island in San Francisco, California. For each improvement method, the study used LCA to assess the energy, global warming potential, acidification potential, smog formation potential, project cost, and social cost of carbon. The scope of analysis is illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2. System Definition and Boundary of the Analysis
4 The study concluded that the most environmentally preferable combination of ground improvement methods does not include deep soil mixing, as illustrated in the comparison of scenarios in Table 2.

Summary of other relevant work being conducted within and outside of the ERC and how this project is different Related work outside of the ERC is being conducted at UC Davis and elsewhere to develop a framework and guidelines for ELCA of related systems, such as pavements and complete streets. However, the pavement ELCA guidelines do not include the full scope of the LCSA (only environmental impacts, and not economic or social impacts), and cannot inform indicator development for geotechnical systems based on our critical review of the literature and existing guidelines. The work on complete streets includes environmental, economic and social components of sustainability within an LCA framework, which is aligned with the goals of the ERC LCSA process. However, the social and economic impacts of complete streets are not similar to those of geotechnical systems. Exploring indicators of social and economic impact for any infrastructure system could inform future indicator selection for geotechnical projects; however, the overlap is likely to be minimal as many of the impacts related to, for example, road and street infrastructure are the result of how the infrastructure is directly used by people, and most geotechnical systems are not directly used in the same way. Plans for the next year The following developments are planned for next year: 1) LCSA Questionnaire (now Report 2) dissemination and creation of Summary LCSA Evaluation Statement for all CBBG projects. 2) Continue development of a streamlined quantitative ELCA model for proposed projects. 3) Collaborate with industry to develop benchmarks of impacts of conventional ground improvement technologies for comparison with new biogeotechnologies (both for ELCA and LCCA). 4) Collect damage cost estimates for pollutants of interest. 5) Environmental sustainability indicator development (critical review of existing indicators and proposal of new/appropriate indicators for geotechnical technologies/projects).
5 6) Manuscript development and submission for environmental sustainability indicators for geotechnical technologies/projects. 7) Continuing to develop MICP ELCA model and evaluation of waste product scenarios for treatment. Expected milestones and deliverables for the project By the end of year three we expect to have an additional manuscript submitted for peer review addressing environmental sustainability indicators for geotechnical systems/projects. In addition, we will further refine Report 2 and revise the Summary LCSA Evaluation Statements for all CBBG projects. By the end of year five we expect to provide a database or tool for industry partners that documents the costs and environmental impacts of a suite of geotechnical solutions (both CBBG technologies and comparable alternatives that are commonly implemented). Member company benefits This project develops and implements a framework for evaluating the sustainability of existing and new geotechnical solutions. This has the potential to integrate LCSA-thinking at the innovation stage of research and development, where the greatest improvements may be identified. Member companies may benefit in two ways: 1) by engaging with the LCSA team on feasibility and cost assessment activities, member companies gain intimate knowledge of the innovative solutions being explored by CBBG research; and 2) member companies will have access to the resulting database of costs and environmental impacts associated with the many CBBG technologies evaluated with LCSA. If relevant, commercialization impacts or course implementation information None to report.
