Abstract

Berau Regency is one of the regencies in East Kalimantan Province that is rich in tourism, mining, and agricultural resources. The results indicate that the FAA method produces a rigid pavement thickness of 41 cm with an estimated cost of IDR 56,385,600,000. The PCA method using a safety factor results in a pavement thickness of 37 cm with an estimated cost of IDR 51,806,400,000, while the PCA fatigue-based method yields a thickness of 33 cm with an estimated cost of IDR 47,227,200,000. An increase in rigid pavement thickness leads to higher material requirements, labor demand, and long-term maintenance costs. The differences in results between the FAA and PCA methods should be considered in relation to the planning objectives, acceptable risk levels, and the availability of the project budget.
