Résumé en anglais

The in-depth research on efficient processes and alternative constituents for mortars production has alack on the quantification of their environmental impacts. This work presents a critical review of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies performed in the construction sector, namely related to mortars. The gaps andbarriers of these methods and final results are discussed through an overview of the main achievements on mortars’ environmental life cycle studies in Europe. Despite the future trends, LCA studies are morefocused on cement-mortars and few researches on air lime, gypsum or earth mortar binders are reported in the literature.
