Civil Engineering Graduate Seminar Tomorrow

Sumanth Kalluri, Michigan Tech graduate student will present “Integrated Life Cycle Cost Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment of Road and Rail Freight Transport” tomorrow in Dow 642 from 4 to 5 p.m.

This study reports the analysis of all costs and emissions during phases of construction, operations, maintenance and final salvage/recycling for both the infrastructure and equipment that are used for comparisons of road, rail and road–rail freight transport. It will include a case study for the movement of ore between a mine and the refinery in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and the movement of refined concentrates between the refinery and Escanaba, Mich.

All are welcome to attend.
