Register now for the newly-developed training class on Pavement Life Cycle Cost Analysis to be held online on November 4-6, 2019. This course introduces the principles and application of Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) for pavements. LCCA is an important tool for making well-informed decisions regarding pavement treatment selection and timing, and materials and construction specifications and their enforcement. The course will provide a basic understanding of how decisions and actions regarding materials, design, and pavement treatment strategy selections interact to affect the function, cost, and performance of pavements, including streets, roads, and highways.
Instruction references use of a computer program, the Life Cycle Cost Analysis Comparison Spreadsheet (freely available for download from the CCPIC website), to perform LCCA calculations. Instructors will explain how to select inputs on treatment lives and costs and will show examples comparing the relative effectiveness of pavement preservation versus rehabilitation, illustrating the value of getting good compaction in asphalt mixes, comparing the effectiveness of different pavement preservation treatments, and an evaluation of using Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlays compared to Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR).
This class is offered by Berkeley TechTransfer as part of the City and County Pavement Improvement Center with funding from California Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 funding reduces registration fees to California’s local public agencies to help them access affordable and timely training to better repair and maintain California’s roadways. Additional classes will be announced throughout the year.
Launched in 2017, the City and County Pavement Improvement Center (CCPIC) is a partnership of the University of California Pavement Research Center at UC Davis and UC Berkeley; the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis and UC Berkeley; California State University at Long Beach, Chico, and San Luis Obispo; the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University; the California League of Cities (LOCC); the California State Association of Counties (CSAC); and the County Engineers Association of California (CEAC).
