Interactive 3D CAD for Effective Derrick Crane Operation in a Cable-Stayed Bridge Construction

Information Technology Applications in Construction Safety Assurance

“…One paper evaluates performance of the Hume Concrete Pipe Manipulator (HCPM) commissioned by the Korea Ministry of Construction and Transport. Based on the analysis of HCPM's overall work performance on a construction site, 65% in productivity improvement, and 33% in cost savings has been reported (Kim et al 2009). Additionally, comparisons have been described between researches teams in Korea and in the US focused on installing large concrete pipe tele-robotically.…”

Retracted: Using BIM to Improve the Design and Construction of Bridge Projects: A Case Study of a Long-Span Steel-Box Arch Bridge Project

“…BIM is also introduced into the construction planning and management of bridge projects. For example, a 3D/4D CAD approach was used to aid in the modelling and scheduling analysis of a cable-stayed bridge [5], to achieve dynamic construction processes and intuitive analysis for large-scale bridge projects [6,7], to conduct the visual management and inquiry of construction schedules for highway bridge projects [8], to assist in the fabrication and geometry control of precast units for concrete box-girder bridges [9], to detect and amend the spatial conflicts of steel components and concrete abutments and optimize the installing and hoisting processes of prefabs in a steel bridge project [10], and to identify potential conflict problems and test construction plans in a cable-stayed bridge project [11]. Li et al [12] also demonstrated the use of virtual prototyping (VP) in the simulation of construction processes and resource allocation to avoid collisions between construction machinery and elements and ensure the feasibility of the construction scheme.…”

Modeling of a Public Utility Facility from Total BIM Data

“…Since its implementation in the 1970s, BIM has been developed and refined over the next three decades and is now the basic technology for capturing, storing, sharing and managing information about buildings [8]. This technology is used not only for the design process of a given facility, but also for its management, and even for demolition purposes [43,23,12,6,7].…”
