Firstly, it provides a simplified methodology to size the strengthening, overcoming the need of extensive knowledge in structures. Secondly, it provides the application of LCA to the selected techni- ques. The method improves the applicability of LCA to buildings, analyzes the environmental differences be- tween techniques, and reveals the importance of the anchoring method as well as the enormous benefit in reusing building structures. Results obtained for conventional beams are displayed in tables ready to use in LCAs with broader boundary systems. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T37-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU15-01069 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 3.084 2018 ENGINEERING, CIVIL 22 / 132 = 0.167 2018 Q1 T1 1.628 2018 Civil and Structural Engineering 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Gracia Villa, Luis Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7944-9625 Zabalza-Bribián, Ignacio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6183-0831 López-Mesa, Belinda Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1458-7685 5010 110 Universidad de Zaragoza Unidad Predepartam.
