A Study of the Economics of Stage Construction for Road Pavements
The costs of various forms of two-stage construction are compared theoretically with those of single-stage designs of the same overall life. The assessment of the lives of flexible and concrete single-stage designs is based on evidence from the Alconbury Hill experiment. The data on the structural performance of strengthened pavements are inadequate and therefore four structural models are studied to cover the range of possible behaviour. In general a simple costing system is used, but a more detailed one is applied to some of the flexible pavements. The sensitivity of the results to traffic growth rate and financial discount rate is investigated. (Author)
