“…These data mostly come from different departments, which is the main reason for the low level of information sharing between systems, data isolation and management confusion, making it difficult for managers to fully grasp the bridge construction situation (Dayan et al., 2022). Therefore, it is necessary to effectively manage the various knowledge involved in bridge construction, to assist managers with a better understanding of problems and risks in the construction process, and to provide knowledge support for optimizing the adjustment of construction plans (Muhaimin et al., 2021). Currently, many scholars have carried out a series of related research on bridge construction knowledge management, mainly including construction knowledge management based on documents or GIS + BIM models (Kaewunruen et al., 2020).…”

Effectively integrating and correlating multisource data involved in the bridge construction process is crucial for the improvement of the bridge informatization level. In the current issues of dynamic numerous data and low information sharing between different engineering departments, the traditional information management methods are inefficient in providing comprehensive and accurate data support for construction safety. Focusing on the bridge construction stage, this article proposes a dynamic data‐driven construction method of railway bridge construction knowledge graph (KG) in combination with dynamic data (materials, personnel, equipment and sensors) in the construction process and KG technology. By taking a railway bridge as a case, the study develops a prototype system and analyzes the effectiveness of bridge construction KG in material traceability, personnel and equipment management and construction safety guidance, which can provide comprehensive and accurate data support for bridge construction management and construction optimization. The results show that: (1) bridge construction KG that takes into account the dynamic features of bridge projects can effectively integrate multiple elements; (2) the bridge construction KG is dynamically updated through real‐time comparison and advance prediction based on the dynamic data collected by multi‐sensing equipment at the construction site, and can provide effective data support for guiding bridge construction safety; and (3) the construction management prototype system based on railway bridge construction KG can provide accurate data support for material traceability, personnel and equipment management and assisted risk event decision‐making. The results of the comparative experiment between the KG group and the spreadsheet group showed that utilizing the KG saved approximately 50% of time and achieved a 20% higher accuracy rate in the material traceability task compared to the spreadsheet group. In general, this study proposes a dynamic data‐driven construction method of railway bridge construction KG, which can effectively realize the effective integration and management of multisource data in the bridge construction process, provide the necessary scientific basis for fine bridge management, and help to improve bridge informatization management level.

“…Pile was propelled by MENK hammers with 1,900, 2,400, and 3,500 kJ capabilities. The manufacture of the 262 piles required a total of 155,779 mt of steel plate (Muhaimin et al, 2021). Through the use of TAM nozzles, microfine cement grout was injected into the skin-grouted pile to fortify the surrounding soil.…”

“…The two-level bridge makes it possible to arrange utilities rationally, safely separate the highway from the railroad, and provide easy access for maintenance and inspection (Robin Sham, 2015). The bridge is also provided with emergency access points to facilitate safe and efficient evacuation from a train on the lower deck (Muhaimin et al, 2021). This study critically examined the sustainable management approaches that were applied to resolve the significant construction challenges encountered during the construction of the multipurpose bridge.…”

An iconic building linking Bangladesh's southwest to its northern and eastern areas is the Padma bridge, which spans the third-largest river in the world with a complicated topology. By boosting production, employment, transportation, and the national and regional economy, this multipurpose bridge is projected to boost GDP growth by 1.2%. This study's primary goal is to pinpoint the greatest challenges encountered during Padma Bridge's construction and explain how sustainable management procedures might be put in place to address such difficulties. The most challenging tasks included finding a suitable site, dealing with complex river morphology, overcoming geotechnical barriers, controlling unfavorable environmental conditions, assembling massive construction equipment and materials, maintaining the construction schedule, and dealing with the COVID epidemic. To resolve these construction challenges, massive river training works and a unique pile foundation design that consists of six floating heaps and one center pile with the largest raking pile in the center were both utilized. To get around the difficulties in superstructural design, longer pre-assembled steel truss girders, pre-tensioned Super-T girders in viaducts, seismic isolation devices, and the largest friction pendulum bearings in the world were all made. Only a small number of people experienced COVID-19 without any fatalities or causing delays in the construction schedule since the Project was kept operational during the COVID-19 period by tightly enforcing the COVID laws and limits on people's mobility. The field of construction management would undergo a paradigm shift with this sustainable management of construction-related difficulties, which might later be used to design more intricate bridges.
