Building Information Modeling for Bridge Design and Construction

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is increasingly expanding its application from the building sector to other types of structures, such as roads, rail and bridges. Especially for bridges that require explicit structural analysis and standard construction processes BIM can be a cornerstone of cost-effective and safe delivery exploiting the consolidation of a point by point geometric model and the potential of coordinating technical and temporal information during construction. Therefore, the potential of BIM technology for bridge design and analysis needs to be presented in a plain manner to foster a broader implementation for this type of infrastructure. This paper contributes to this goal by presenting an informed update on the application of BIM for bridge design and construction. More specifically, it reviews recent academic publications to investigate the extent of the respective research field, and it highlights respective critical issues. More importantly, it sheds light on the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) protocol uses for Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) by providing details for the development, current limitations, and future needs with respect to them. The conclusions from this review aim at allowing the provision of a clear understanding of the current state-of-the-art, a clear identification of the obstacles for a wider application, and a full description of the potential and challenges for the introduction of BIM technology to bridge design and construction.
