The purpose of this paper is to present an Integrated Life Cycle Bridge Information Modeling that can be used throughout different phases of the bridge life cycle including: design, construction, and operation and maintenance phases. Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) has become an effective tool in bridge engineering and construction. It has been used in obtaining accurate shop drawings, cost estimation, and visualization. In this paper, BrIM is used as an integrated tool for bridges life cycle information modeling. In the design phase, BrIM model can be used in obtaining optimum construction methods and performing structural advanced analysis. During construction phase, the model selects the appropriate locations for mobile cranes, monitors the status of precast components, and controls documents. Whereas, it acts as a tool for bridge management system in operation and maintenance phase. The paper provides a detailed description for each use of BrIM model in design, construction, and operation and maintenance phases of bridges. It is proven that BrIM is an effective tool for bridge management systems throughout their life phases.

The information on local stress acting in a bridge is required in many occasions such as fatigue assessment. The analysis by beam elements cannot yield this class of information adequately, while the finite element modeling of an entire long-span bridge by shell elements is impractical. In the present study, the hybrid modeling is tried out: only part of a bridge in which the point of interest is located is discretized by shell elements and the remaining part is modeled by beam elements. By solving a simple box girder problem, the effectiveness of this approach is discussed. This technique is then applied to the Rama IX Bridge for local stress evaluation. The numerical results compare very well with the results of a full-scale static loading test. The present research thus offers a practical yet accurate technique for the stress analysis of a long-span cable-stayed bridge.

Modular technology has become a major issue of the construction industries to enhance their productivity. Modular bridge construction generally requires the collaboration between the contractor, designer, fabricator and constructor. Therefore, a readily accessible information model based on BIM technology should be provided for their communication during a construction project life-cycle. In this study, BIM based 3D information modeling was carried out for the modular bridge pier. First, the product breakdown structure (PBS) and level of detail (LOD) of the pier were defined. Based on them, 3D models were created by using parametric modeling method. In addition, database was constructed for the exchange of geometry and property data of 3D models. Finally, application areas of 3D information model were suggested, including the quantity estimation and the 4D simulation.

부재를 표준화하여 설계 및 제작 생산성을 높이고 기계화 시공을 가능하게 하는 모듈러 교량이 건설 산업에서 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 반복성이 높고 설계, 제작 시공 과정에서의 정보의 원활한 전달이 필요하기 때문에 BIM(Building Information Modeling) 기술에 기반한 변수 모델링 정의를 제시하였다. 모듈러 교량이 갖는 변수 범위를 고려하여 고정변수, 변동변수, 연관변수로 구분하여 정의하고 이를 설계, 해석, 제작에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 구조시스템 개발과정의 지식을 정보화하여 3차원 모델의 정확성과 활용성을 높였다.

Effective bridge maintenance reduces bridge operation costs and extends its service life. The possibility of storing bridge life-cycle data in a 3D parametric model of the bridge through Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) provides new opportunities to enhance current practices of bridge maintenance management. This study develops a Decision Support System (DSS), namely BrDSS, which employs BrIM and an efficient optimization model for bridge maintenance planning. The BrIM model in BrDSS extracts basic data of elements required for the optimization process and visualizes the inspection data and the optimization results to the user to help in decision makings. In the optimization module of the DSS, the specifically formulated Genetic Algorithm (GA) eliminates the chances of producing infeasible solutions for faster convergence. The practicality of the presented DSS was explored by utilizing the DSS in the maintenance planning of a bridge under operation in the southwest of Iran.

Recently in Korea, efforts are underway to enhance smart construction by implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) comprehensively across all sectors of the construction industry. This study focused on the adoption of BIM for prefab bridges currently executed in the industry and It examined the process of creating a BIM-based prefab bridge model that can support production. Additionally, it explored how prefab products made by manufacturers can be integrated with road alignments using BIM technology and how the DfMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) approach, which supports production based on designed information, can be adopted. The process of creating the prefab bridge model aims to shorten production time, reduce costs, and enhance quality by leveraging digital information related to design and manufacturing within the BIM framework

Risk identification for bridge projects is a knowledge-based and labor-intensive task involving several procedures and stakeholders. Presently, risk information of bridge projects is unstructured and stored in different sources and formats, hindering knowledge sharing, reuse, and automation of the risk identification process. Consequently, there is a need to develop structured and formalized risk information for bridge projects to aid effective risk identification and automation of the risk management processes to ensure project success. This study proposes a semantic risk breakdown structure (SRBS) to support risk identification for bridge projects. SRBS is a searchable hierarchical risk breakdown structure (RBS) developed with python programming language based on a semantic modeling approach. The proposed SRBS for risk identification of bridge projects consists of a 4-level tree structure with 11 categories of risks and 116 potential risks associated with bridge projects. The contributions of this paper are threefold. Firstly, this study fills the gap in knowledge by presenting a formalized risk breakdown structure that could enhance the risk identification of bridge projects. Secondly, the proposed SRBS can assist in the creation of a risk database to support the automation of the risk identification process for bridge projects to reduce manual efforts. Lastly, the proposed SRBS can be used as a risk ontology that could aid the development of an artificial intelligence-based integrated risk management system for construction projects.

Building Information Modeling(BIM)기술을 유지관리 단계에서 활용하기 위해서는 상당량의 유지관리 데이터와 BIM기반 정보모델 객체들이 연계되어 운용되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 교량 점검데이터를 표현하기 위해 확장된 IFC기반의 BIM모델과 온톨로지를 연계하여 정보를 관리하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 현재의 IFC버전은 교량 객체를 제대로 표현할 수 없기 때문에 교량을 위한 IFC엔티티를 확장하였으며, 확장된 IFC기반의 정보모델을 생성하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 교량 점검데이터에 대한 기본 개념을 추출하고, 교량 점검데이터를 위한 온톨로지(Ontology)를 생성하였다. 추출된 기본 개념들은 제시된 온톨로지에서 시멘틱 웹의 트리플(Triple) 방식으로 관계를 형성되었다. 마지막으로, 생성된 IFC기반의 BIM모델은 제시된 온톨로지와의 통합을 위하여 시멘틱 데이터 형식으로 변환되었다. 확장된 IFC기반 BIM모델은 제시된 교량 점검데이터 관리를 위한 온톨로지와 통합되었고, 실제 교량 점검데이터를 기반으로 테스트모델을 생성하였다. SPARQL query를 통해 목적에 맞는 교량 점검데이터가 추출됨을 확인하여 실효성을 검증하였다.

정보 모델링이라 일컫는 BIM은 단순히 이미지를 표현할 뿐만 아니라 교량의 전 생애주기에 발생하는 정보를 저장하는 도구로 활용된다. 최근 발주부터 유지관리까지 교량의 전 생애주기 동안에 BIM을 활용하여 건설 생산성을 향상시키려는 시도가 증가하고 있다. 현재 BIM에 대한 이점은 어느 정도 인지하고 있는 상태이지만, BIM구축 및 활용에 대한 정보가 부족한 상태에서 도입하면 오히려 이익보다는 추가적인 업무발생에 의한 손실을 일으키게 되므로 아직까지는 조심스러운 단계이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교량에 관한 BIM을 실제로 작성하여 토목분야의 객체를 모델링할 수 있는지를 평가하고 BIM을 적절하게 활용하기 위한 개선점 및 향후 활용방안에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 연구결과 BIM은 도면과 물량산정에 있어서 일관성, 효율성, 정확성에 기여할 수 있었고 파라메트릭 모델을 활용한 치수 설정으로 모델의 재활용이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 도입 초기에는 모델작성에 따른 노력이 소모되지만 그 이후에는 작성된 모델을 활용하므로 생산성을 증가시키는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
