  • Evaluation of the Effects of Canadian Climatic Conditions on Pavement Performance Using the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide
    University of Alberta Evaluation of the Effects of Canadian Climatic Conditions on Pavement Performance Using the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide by Jhuma Saha A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ©Jhuma Saha Edmonton, Alberta Fall 2011 Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only. Where the thesis is converted to, or otherwise made available in digital form, the University of Alberta will advise potential users of the thesis of these terms. The author reserves all other publication and other rights in association with the copyright in the thesis and, except as herein before provided, neither the thesis nor any substantial portion thereof may be printed or otherwise reproduced in any material form whatsoever without the author's prior written permission. Abstract This thesis attempts to explore the implementation of the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) in Canada, specifically in Alberta. In order to achieve this goal, quality of Canadian climate data files used for the MEPDG and its effects on flexible pavement performance were evaluated. Results showed that temperature and precipitation data used in the MEPDG are close to Environment Canada data. This study demonstrated that asphalt concrete rutting, total rutting and longitudinal cracking were sensitive to Canadian climate. However, alligator cracking, transverse cracking and International Roughness Index (IRI) were found less sensitive to climatic factors.

  • August 8, 2020 RE: Alberta Infrastructure Act and 20-Year
    Date: August 8, 2020 RE: Alberta Infrastructure Act and 20-Year Strategic Capital Plan: Engagement Opportunity To: Honourable Prasad Panda Minister of Infrastructure Office of the Minister Infrastructure 127 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta As a follow up to the survey the Alberta Airports Management Association (AAMA) completed on August 7th, 2020, we would appreciate the opportunity to submit additional feedback on the proposed Alberta Infrastructure Act. Please find a document outlining background information about the AAMA in “Appendix 1”. In review of the proposed Alberta Infrastructure Act background materials and the completed survey, the AAMA believes the concerns of regional and community based airports in Alberta align with many of the trends identified within the survey. The role of airports should be a key factor when implementing strategies and solutions to manage the identified trends. Alberta’s regional and community based airports have long struggled to fund capital infrastructure projects that are required to keep airports safe and open for business. The Province of Alberta has historically acknowledged the value of Alberta’s small network of airports by annually funding the Strategic Infrastructure Program’s Community Airports Program (CAP). The Province of Alberta provides $2 million in annual funding to assist in the capital rehabilitation and improvement of approximately 72 paved airports in Alberta. While that may sound like a significant funding amount, those who work in the airport industry understand the cost of a single runway pavement project can cost up to $15 million. Given existing funding levels, the average lifespan of critical airport infrastructure, and the number of eligible airports, it is apparent that the CAP program is severely underfunded and cannot be deemed acceptable for the Citizens of Alberta.

  • A Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of Alberta
    i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ECONOMIC IMPACT This report documents the socio-economic impact of 12 airports located throughout the province; the airfields represent 4 ‘Tiers’ of airports differentiated on the basis of aviation activity and on-site users. In total, some 275 on-airport firms were canvassed with a 98 percent success rate for the data fields sought. The economic impact of the survey airports has been measured by employment (in terms of full-time equivalents (FTEs)), labour income, and value-added Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Direct, indirect and induced forms of activity have been considered for calendar year 2003. The airports reviewed were: Tier I Tier II Tier III Tier IV North Peace River High Level Manning La Crete Central Red Deer Lloydminster Drumheller Bashaw South Lethbridge High River Taber Coutts All Tier I airports provide significant economic benefits to the communities they serve - in effect, they are local ‘economic engines’. In 2003 on average, each Tier I airport provided roughly 300 direct FTEs, a labour income of nearly $15 million, and a total impact of over $45 million. All Tier I airports operate in a deficit circumstance for their annual operating and maintenance budgets: on average local municipalities were contributing some $77,000 p.a. None have the financial resources to fund their capital funding requirements over the next 10 years. All Tier II airports provide significant economic benefits to the communities they serve. In 2003 on average, each Tier II airport provided roughly 30 direct FTEs, a labour income of nearly $2 million, and a total impact of over $7 million.
