The Economics of “The Ideal Asphalt Pavement”
This paper describes how the need to provide the most economical pavement is not a new concept. The 1995 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century mandated life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) for National Highway System roadway projects equal to or greater than $25 million. The current economic crisis heightened the need to provide high quality, long lasting, economical pavements. The most economical pavements are those with extended initial and overlay performance periods. Initial construction costs typically constitute 70 to 90 percent of the agency cost in a 40-year life cycle analysis.
