Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements
This report describes the development of a new life cycle cost analysis methodology for portland cement concrete pavements - one that considers all aspects of pavement design, construction, maintenance, and user impacts throughout the analysis period. It predicts pavement performance using state-of-the-art performance models and reliability concepts, from which it determines maintenance and rehabilitation needs. Any construction performed on a roadway has associated construction and user costs. Also associated with all highway pavement construction are external costs, upon which it is difficult if not impossible to place a value. This methodology models the effects of construction on all these aspects and, where the effects cannot yet be quantified, allows new models to be added. Reliability concepts are used with individual models when possible, and the overall variability of the total life cycle cost is estimated. Using reliability concepts and the variability in all aspects of construction and cost models, the design engineer can define a level of confidence for predicting total life cycle costs, user costs, accidents, and other output parameters considered in the methodology.
