SITUATION3: Under the data collected from the office of Department of
Transportation and DPWH over the last 5 years indicate that for each
fatality, there are 40 non-fatal injury accidents ($1500 present cost
each) and 300 property damage accidents ($2000 present cost each).
What is the breakeven value of statistical Me (VSL) needed to
justify a highway project if i is 8%? The death rate on a particular
three-lane road is 8 per 100 million vehicle-miles. Adding a lane
would reduce this to 5 per million, and other accidents would cost
$1.5M per mile to build, and annual maintenance would be 3% of the
first cost. Assume that the lane would last 40 years. The road carries
10000 vehicle per day. Use reduction factor of 3/8 for all accidents.
(Non-CE students no need to answer this item).
Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extraconstruction cost?
