It is not good practice to compare a minor pavement rehabilitation strategy and a complete pavement replacement strategy. Even when comparing a new rigid pave- ment and a new flexible pavement, difficult choices must be made concerning the expected performance of each pavement type. Table 3.29 shows a hypothetical example of life cycle cost analysis assuming a 35-year performance period for both alternatives with no salvage values at the end of the period. It is not the intent to show that one pavement type has an economical advantage over another, as many hypothetical assumptions were made in the example. The intent is to indicate the level of information needed to make a life cycle cost analysis, and the information an analysis presents.
