Abstract:

This report is the second of a three volume final report which documents an automated system, LIFE2, for analyzing pavement designs and maintenance and repair strategies based on life-cycle costs. LIFE2 models existing Corps of Engineers criteria for designing both rigid and flexible pavements for airfields, roads, and streets. The program also includes analytical procedures for evaluating earthwork, drainage, and frost protection requirements in addition to maintenance costs. The resulting combinations of design schemes and maintenance strategies are ranked by total cost over the design life of the pavement. Volume I is the LIFE2 User Manual, Volume II is the LIFE2 System Documentation, and Volume III is the LIFE2 Program Listing. Author
