What could be done to give the pavement a longer life of 3 million E80s? (6)

Determine the most economic design over 30 years for the following:
Alternative A: Construction cost R24 per sq m
Special maintenance after 10 years @ R8 per sq m
Recycle after 20 years @ R15 per sq m

Alternative B: Construction cost R29 per sq m


Overlay after 20 years @ R12 per sq rn

Use a discount rate of 10%. Accept that there is no salvage value. -
