I-5 Reconstruction in Seattle |
|

|
New Benicia-Martinez Bridge in CA |
Course Description
Covers basic concepts of large infrastructure construction projects including planning, scheduling, life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA), construction cost, logistics and productivity. The bulk of the class explores these concepts in detail through a 7-week group project that plans a major repaving of an I-5 section in the urban Seattle area. This effort will use state-of-the-art software including CA4PRS, QuickZone and the FHWA’s probabilistic LCCA to plan construction and investigate traffic impact and overall cost. Each group will submit a project report (not to exceed 20 pages) and give a 15-minute presentation on their proposed approach. Representatives from WSDOT will brief the class on real-world issues with I-5 repaving and may be present during presentations.
