Abstract:

This presentation analyzes the effect of climate change on pavement life cycle costs. It begins with an overview of our changing climate–the motivation for this study–and then transitions into the methods used for the study. The study used a number of programs and data collection methods to aid in its predictions. As a result, it found that climate change accelerates deterioration and will increase life-cycle costs.
