BIM-style Software Program to Track the Bridge Health using BIM
BIM-style software program will use for monitoring the condition of bridges, being develop by Zhigang Shen, a professor at the University of Nebraska’s School of Architectural Engineering and Construction.
3D model of real-life bridge structures which creates in exacting detail based on data amassed via on-site inspections by BIM-style program. The software used to enables aspects of a bridge to be incorporated into single, easy-to-access simulation and the huge welter of data concerning the myriad components and, vastly expediting the monitoring process for transportation officials and inspectors as commented by Shen.
According to Mr. Shen the software’s ability to:
1) Incorporate multiple-aspect data into a 3D model makes it ideal for bridge inventory management.
2) The 3D bridge model can be created which enables users to access information relating to bridge conditions in a variety of formats simply by clicking on a specific component within the visual simulation, as opposed to fossicking through a trove of files consisting of dense numerical data which can be hard to comprehend.
