A comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) was carried out to study the environmental impact of interventions on an existing bridge using PE-UHPFRC compared with conventional UHPFRC and post-tensioned reinforced concrete methods in three categories of global warming potential (GWP), cumulative energy demand (CED), and ecological scarcity (UBP). The results showed 55% and 29% decreases in the environmental impact of the PE-UHPFRC compared with reinforced concrete and conventional UHPFRC methods, respectively, which highlighted the eectiveness of this material for the rehabilitation/strengthening of structures from the viewpoint of environmental impact.UHPFRCLCAsustainabilityUHMW-PE fibersrehabilitationstrengtheningtext::journal::journal article::research article
