Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of SMA Pavements and SMA Application Guidelines

K. L. Smith / L. Titus-Glover / S. Rao / H. L. Von Quintus / M. Stanley

The objective of this research project was to provide a comparative cost analysis of pavements constructed using stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures versus those built with WisDOT's conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures, based on parallel life-cycles (inclusive of any required maintenance) and resultant performance. The research entailed a thorough evaluation of SMA and conventional HMA mixture performance on Wisconsin highways, collection and review of SMA and conventional HMA unit costs, and full-scale life-cycle costing to determine the cost-effectiveness of SMA pavements.
