“…From the abovementioned five stakeholders suggested by UNEP/SETAC (2009), social impacts on local communities are assessed by 39.5% of the studies, namely those evaluating impacts on cultural heritage, local employment generation, the externalities and the public acceptance of the bridge and its aesthetics. The stakeholder Society is taken into account by 14.3% of the studies, namely those considering impacts on the development of local economies (Ugwu et al, 2006;Aghdaie et al, 2012;Bansal et al, 2017;Cau & Hong, 2017;Navarro et al, 2018aNavarro et al, , 2018bNavarro et al, , 2018cSalem et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018), on the social wellbeing and the inclusion of innovation (Wang et al, 2010;Ugwu et al, 2006) in the bridge design. The stakeholder Workers is assessed by 19.3% of the articles, which consider the health and safety related to working conditions as a main source of social impacts.…”

Sustainable design of infrastructures has become a major matter of study since the recent establishment of the Agenda 2030. This paper provides a systematic literature review on the use of multi-criteria decision making techniques used so far for the sustainable design of bridges. Special attention is put as well on how the reviewed studies assess the sustainable performance of bridge designs along their life cycle from the economic, the environmental and the social perspective. Although SAW and AHP are recurrently used in the sustainable assessment of bridges, the analysis of the most recent articles show that the application of TOPSIS and PROMETHEE techniques are gaining increasing relevance for such purpose. Most of the studies focus on the research of the construction and the maintenance stage of bridges. However, a need for further analysis is identified when it comes to the assessment of the impacts resulting from the End of Life cycle stage of bridges from a sustainable point of view. The use of intuitionistic and neutrosophic logic have been detected as emerging alternatives to the fuzzy approach of decision making problems.

“…VIKOR is a MCDM method introduced by Opricovic [20] overcome the limitations of existing MCDM techniques where decision problems involve conflicting criteria. VIKOR is also a popular assessment tool, that has been used as well to solve the evaluation performance of a variety of infrastructures, such as bridges [21][22][23], airport infrastructures [24] or logistic centers [25].…”

In recent times, the construction industry has been recognized as a critical sector in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, construction activities and infrastructure have both beneficial and non-beneficial impacts, making infrastructure design the focus of current research in finding the best way to meet society's demands for sustainability. Although methods for economic, environmental, and social life cycle assessments of infrastructures are well-known, the challenge lies in combining these dimensions into a comprehensive indicator that aids decision-making. This study uses three decision-making techniques, namely TOPSIS, COPRAS, and VIKOR, to evaluate five different design alternatives for a concrete bridge exposed to a coastal environment. To enhance the consistency of the multi-criteria decision-making process, a DEMATEL-based approach is applied. The study's results demonstrate unanimously that concrete containing even small amounts of silica fume performs better over its life cycle than other solutions typically considered to increase durability, such as reducing the water/cement ratio or increasing concrete cover.

“…Apparently, small-span bridges are generally underestimated considering the lack of executive design and technical monitoring in their construction, non-existent maintenance, evident signs of abandonment including poor conditions for use and the emergence of different pathologies or a lack of attention from the public authorities, thus generating sustainability issues [23]. In this regard, the rationalization of the process of building structures-including reducing costs [24][25][26], social impacts [27,28] and environmental impacts [29,30]-should be addressed in the design phase [31]. The environmental impact of bridges has been highlighted due to the consumption of resources [32]; it has been widely demonstrated that more sustainable construction benefits humanity [33].…”

The application of techniques to analyze sustainability in the life cycle of small-span bridge superstructures is presented in this work. The objective was to obtain environmental and economic indicators for integration into the decision-making process to minimize the environmental impact, reduce resource consumption and minimize life cycle costs. Twenty-seven configurations of small-span bridges (6 to 20 m) of the following types were analyzed: steel–concrete composite bridges, cast in situ reinforced concrete bridges, precast bridges and prestressed concrete bridges, comprising a total of 405 structures. Environmental impacts and costs were quantified via life cycle environmental assessment and life cycle cost analysis following the boundaries of systems from the extraction of materials to the end of bridge life (“from cradle to grave”). In general, the results indicated that the environmental performance of the bridges was significantly linked to the material selection and bridge configuration. In addition, the study enabled the identification of the products and processes with the greatest impact in order to subsidize the design of more sustainable structures and government policies.
