  • Abstract:
    This study investigated project management level solutions to optimizing resources, minimizing costs ; (including user costs) and time for PCC pavement rehabilitation projects. This study extensively ; evaluated the applicability of the Construction Analysis for Pavement Rehabilitation Strategies ; (CA4PRS) software program as a potential solution to achieve the goal. The usability of the CA4PRS ; was assessed by conducting knowledge inventory surveys at GDOT and ODOT as well as conducting ; four case studies. The pre and post knowledge inventory surveys indicated that there was a general ; understanding that the CA4PRS could be used as an excellent tool to help decision makers effectively ; plan PCC pavement rehabilitation projects. The four case studies indicated that, in addition to using the ; CA4PRS, there should be further efforts in order to develop an effective construction plan for a PCC ; pavement rehabilitation project. Some major recommendations are a) ODOT/GDOT must put efforts to ; collect CA4PRS input data and develop a database for reliable analysis using the CA4PRS, b) ; ODOT/GOT also need to use the CPM scheduling method and the CA4PRS together because the ; current CA4PRS considers only six major activities in project scheduling, c) A simulation program such ; as the Cyclone program can be used to determine the optimal number of resources of major activities. ; Based on the findings of this study, this project has designed an improved planning procedure to find ; the most efficient project phasing and closure scenario for PCC pavement rehabilitation projects. The ; procedure involves a quantitative analysis on every potential project execution scenario using the ; CA4PRS, the CPM method and a simulation tool.
