Life-Cycle Cost Analysis for Interlocking Concrete Pavements

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

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.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
