  Pavement alternative evaluation is a key aspect in decision making process in transportation system planning, design and delivery. This study examined the Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) model for flexible road pavement infrastructure delivery in a developing economy using 1.9 km urban road in Effurun Metropolis, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State of Nigeria as a case study. The overview of existing knowledge, the importance and evaluation of LCCA of pavement delivery is done. The Pavement delivery and design data used for this study, which were obtained from the Office of the Ministry of Works, Effurun, Delta State of Nigeria, included soil sub-grade CBR results, water content condition, soil type and grain size distribution, the reports of route investigation, vehicular traffic counts, and previous maintenance, material and market survey reports. The pavement design data pre.. Read More»
