“…In the infrastructure field, BIM can be successfully applied to the design phases of infrastructure such as railways [36,40,[42][43][44]. As also for buildings, in the context of bridges, these methodologies can be applied to the management of risk-related information [24,[45][46][47][48][49]. BIM can also be used for the digitalization of existing bridges in addition to support the registration and maintenance of relevant information, both historical and current through the use of databases connected to the digital model [11,14,21,27,31,36,[49][50][51][52].…”

“…Given this information, the strategy took into account the final export of the bridge model in IFC format as well. If we consider this standard, semantic extension strategies can refer to two types of approaches: static (class definitions or related attributes) and dynamic (use of PSet/Properties or the proxy class concept) [44,46]. For this proposal, so far as alphanumeric information is concerned, reference was made to the second approach (development of PSets and related properties).…”

Regulatory activity concerning the management of existing bridges has recently been affected by updates, for instance, in Italy, which calls for a speedy and pragmatic approach based on new technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), when dealing with the survey and risk classification as well as the evaluation and monitoring of structural safety. This paper focuses on the development and integration of a digital solution, based principally on the specific framework developed by the authors, which supports BIM modeling and information management activities, in the structural setting under investigation, through the use of several technologies and tools, namely BIM-authoring, CDE platform and visual programming, in addition to programming in Python. Starting from the organization of a specific BIM object library and the initial data, inserted by means of a custom-made input environment, it was possible to reproduce digital models of bridges in accordance with specific information requirements following the new Level of Information Need setting. The applicability of the proposal is tested on two judiciously chosen real-life cases with different characteristics. Through this implementation, a series of advantages emerge, including expediting traditional procedures for BIM modeling, accessibility and traceability of information—which are constantly updated to support the monitoring of structural safety over time—and the decision-making process related to the bridge management context.

“…Users can automatically detect some types of defects such as cracking and spalling with dimension information in real-time by Hololens. Besides, AR technology has been investigated and applied in bridge inspection works (Salamak and Januszka, 2018). However, only onsite inspection work has been the focal point of existing studies.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop a building information modelling (BIM)-based mixed reality (MR) application to enhance and facilitate the process of managing bridge inspection and maintenance works remotely from office. It aims to address the ineffective decision-making process on maintenance tasks from the conventional method which relies on documents and 2D drawings on visual inspection. This study targets two key issues: creating a BIM-based model for bridge inspection and maintenance; and developing this model in a MR platform based on Microsoft Hololens. Design/methodology/approach Literature review is conducted to determine the limitation of MR technology in the construction industry and identify the gaps of integration of BIM and MR for bridge inspection works. A new framework for a greater adoption of integrated BIM and Hololens is proposed. It consists of a bridge information model for inspection and a newly-developed Hololens application named “HoloBridge”. This application contains the functional modules that allow users to check and update the progress of inspection and maintenance. The application has been implemented for an existing bridge in South Korea as the case study. Findings The results from pilot implementation show that the inspection information management can be enhanced because the inspection database can be systematically captured, stored and managed through BIM-based models. The inspection information in MR environment has been improved in interpretation, visualization and visual interpretation of 3D models because of intuitively interactive in real-time simulation. Originality/value The proposed framework through “HoloBridge” application explores the potential of integrating BIM and MR technology by using Hololens. It provides new possibilities for remote inspection of bridge conditions.

“…Despite the knowledge of literature, e.g. [1,2,8,10] and courses, inspectors sometimes attributed different ratings to the same damage. To eliminate such cases and limit the number of errors, the discussed "Rules..." were elaborated.…”

The article discusses "Rules for using the point rating scales for assessing the technical condition and usability of road engineering objects -second edition", which were introduced by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) Regulation No. 1/2019. The main objective of "Rules..." was to standardize the method of point rating assessment of technical condition and usability, and in the second edition, to take into account the latest construction and material solutions. Because the results of inspections are analyzed and compared not only at the regional but also at the national level, it is very important for all inspectors in the country to evaluate the technical condition and usability in an analogous manner. While developing the 2nd edition, the authors maintained the assumptions of continuity of inspection system, including adaptation to the inspection manuals, algorithms, and software supporting the management of bridges.
