Estimation of Life Cycle Cost of RC Infrastructure Using Different Analysis Methods
Abstract: Accuracy of service life prediction largely influence life cycle cost of infrastructure. Recent research come up with the conclusion that ingression of chloride to cover concrete is dependent on the water penetration front which dramatically change the service life. Therefore, in this study chloride ion profiles and behavior of penetrating water for slag concrete with w/c ratio as 40%, 55% and 70%, respectively, cast in laboratory, were examined. Furthermore, life …

Cost Objective Model for Construction Equipment Replacement Policies
Abstract: Most construction companies, particularly companies whose projects are primarily constructed with earthmoving equipment, depend heavily on their construction equipment fleets, which represent substantial locked capital investment and require acceptable utilization levels to recover expenses incurred and losses from this investment. The equipment, which possesses a finite physical and economic life, inevitably requires replacement, and equipment maintenance costs increase with the equipment life. Different methodologies are employed to establish the replacement …
