Life-cycle cost analysis is an effective decision-making tool for pavement designers and highway agencies. Given adequate historical data on asphalt performance and the use of rational pavement design methods, the designer can readily determine which pavement design alternative is the most cost-effective for the particular location. The use of high-performance, premium materials and new, enhanced technologies in asphalt pavement construction provide benefits to the roadway owner and user when their costs are considered over the increased service life of the pavement. The implementation of timely, systematic asphalt pavement maintenance and rehabilitation enhances the use of these materials and methods and improves their overall cost-effectiveness. Life-cycle cost analyses indicate that improvements in pavement smoothness, quality control through end-result specifications and use of high quality materials such as performance graded asphalt cement, heavy duty binder course and stone mastic asphalt mixes substantially reduce the overall life-cycle costs of the asphalt pavement. This is particularly evident for higher volume roads and when user costs such as delay are considered. The elements of pavement life-cycle cost analysis, design considerations and the impact of hot-mix asphalt materials and technology advancements made in Ontario over the last 10 to 15 years are presented.

These guidelines apply to the life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of high-volume roadways, all freeways & 400 series highways, and all concrete pavements in Ontario. Information is included on the nature of LCCA; the components of LCCA including discount rate, service life & activity timing, cost factors, and deterministic versus probabilistic LCCA; alternative bid criteria in the process for freeway paving contracts; and the Ministry of Transportation LCCA procedure for flexible & rigid freeway pavements. Recommended service lives and typical preventive & rehabilitation strategies & timings for the two main freeway designs (deep strength asphalt pavement and doweled jointed plain concrete pavement) are summarized in the guidelines. Appendices include example calculations.

This volume contains the papers presented at IALCCE2018, the Sixth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE2018), held in Ghent, Belgium, October 28-31, 2018. It consists of a book of extended abstracts and a USB device with full papers including the Fazlur R. Khan lecture, 8 keynote lectures, and 390 technical papers from all over the world. Contributions relate to design, inspection, assessment, maintenance or optimization in the framework of life-cycle analysis of civil engineering structures and infrastructure systems. Life-cycle aspects that are developed and discussed range from structural safety and durability to sustainability, serviceability, robustness and resilience. Applications relate to buildings, bridges and viaducts, highways and runways, tunnels and underground structures, off-shore and marine structures, dams and hydraulic structures, prefabricated design, infrastructure systems, etc. During the IALCCE2018 conference a particular focus is put on the cross-fertilization between different sub-areas of expertise and the development of an overall vision for life-cycle analysis in civil engineering. The aim of the editors is to provide a valuable source of cutting edge information for anyone interested in life-cycle analysis and assessment in civil engineering, including researchers, practising engineers, consultants, contractors, decision makers and representatives from local authorities.

The proliferation of technological capability, miniaturization, and demand for aerial intelligence is pushing unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the realm of a multi-billion dollar industry. This book surveys the UAS landscape from history to future applications. It discusses commercial applications, integration into the national airspace system (NAS), System function, operational procedures, safety concerns, and a host of other relevant topics. The book is dynamic and well-illustrated with separate sections for terminology and web- based resources for further information.

A pavement performance and life-cycle cost evaluation of a polymer modified asphalt cement Styrelf) has shown technical advantages and cost savings. The evaluation involved seven Ontario asphalt concrete pavements, representing various traffic and climatic conditions, placed between 1987 and 1992. A surface distress survey was completed for representative sections with the polymer modified asphalt cement and control sections with conventional asphalt cement. Rut depth was determined from transverse profiles. The surface distress information was analyzed using the American Public Works Association PAVER procedures to determine the Pavement Condition Index for each section. This information was used to model the pavement condition through a 30 year analysis period. Life-cycle costing was completed to determine the present worth of the construction, maintenance and rehabilitation costs. The pavement performance modelling indicated the polymer modified asphalt cement extended the pavement service life by about 4 to 6 years compared to conventional asphalt cement. This service life extension was confirmed by testing representative asphalt concrete cores in the Nottingham Asphalt Tester, which indicated improved rutting resistance and increased fatigue life. The results of the life-cycle cost analysis showed significant life-cycle cost savings for pavements incorporating polymer modified asphalt cement mixes. For the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD number 872978.
