This presentation provides a review of life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA), a process increasingly conducted by road agencies for pavement projects. LCCA enables and, in some cases, justifies a pavement type that best meets an agency’s needs and budget. This presentation emphasizes the whole-life costs for interlocking concrete pavements (ICP), which combine the performance advantages of conventional concrete and asphalt with potentially lower life-cycle costs compared to other pavement materials.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Define LCCA and its function in evaluating pavement costs over time and hence the return on investment.
- Identify the variables of a life-cycle cost analysis and their role.
- Explain how to utilize life-cycle costing as a primary tool to evaluate pavement performance.
- Identify the differences between deterministic and probabilistic cost methodologies used in LCCA.

Presenter Information
Name: Bryan Horr
Title: Manager of Technical Development and Market Promotion, Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute
Background: Bryan is a highly motivated civil engineer with eleven years of construction supervisor experience. His knowledge of the construction world comes from a combination of fieldwork and bookwork. Bryan is now Manager of Technical Development and Market Promotion for ICPI and brings that combination of knowledge with him to the classroom. He has taught students the ICPI Concrete Paver Installer Course and the PICP Specialist Course, and dedicates much of his time to educating design professionals on the benefits of using interlocking concrete pavers as a pavement system. Bryan's construction experience has helped him advance his career and achieve his goal of becoming a Professional Engineer. He would like to share his knowledge and experience with you to help you become part of a safe and productive construction team.
