| Abstract | This TechBrief summarizes the findings presented in the report, "Incremental Costs and Performance Benefits of Concrete Pavement Design Features" (FHWA-HRT-04-044). The primary product developed under this project and presented in the report is a software analysis tool that can evaluate the relative performance benefits and costs associated with adding different design features to a portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement design. The tool is for pavement designers who are interested in comparing costs versus performance associated with the selection of design features during the PCC pavement design process. This software is only a computational tool. It is not intended to provide absolute answers on the effect of different design features, but rather to offer insight into general performance and cost trends associated with the use of different design features. |
