This World Steel Association (worldsteel) case study uses a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach to measure the potential greenhouse gas impacts from all stages of manufacture, product use and end-of-life, demonstrating the reduction of CO2 emissions through the use of high-performance steels. This case study deals with the replacement of two obsolete bridges in South Carolina with the cantilever or cable-stay bridge, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, commonly known as the Cooper River Bridge.
