“…Recent exploration of parametric bridge design states that the highway geometry should be used as a basis for the bridge design and gives an example illustrating a straight (tangent) superstructure and its parametric change (4). Related parametric bridge data model studies focus mostly on structural bridge data rather than the highway geometry (5,6).…”

Improved software interoperability is key to realizing more fully the potential benefits of integrated and accelerated project delivery in a way that also somehow ensures product quality. The increasing appeal of three-dimensional (3-D) building information modeling (BIM) notions applied to bridges [known as bridge information modeling (BrIM)] motivates the need for principled prescriptions of associated electronic data exchanges between various project stakeholders and the various software applications that they use. Such data exchanges must be sufficiently precise to facilitate detailing for fabrication and construction while being sufficiently concise to facilitate parametric modeling and thereby avoid needless data duplication. The highway geometry to which bridges must conform distinguishes BrIM from the building column grid orientation of BIM at the outset of the bridge life cycle. In contrast to the over defined highway geometry in the LandXML data exchange standard, a 3-D control curve is defined, presented, illustrated, and recommended as the basis for parametric data exchange suitable through the life cycle of steel I-girder bridges on (straight and) curved alignments. This 3-D control curve combines in a single curve the traditional horizontal control line and profile grade line that bridge structural engineers receive from highway designers to define bridge geometry. Data exchanges associated with three distinct stages in the life cycle of a steel bridge are defined and illustrated: analysis and design, detailing for fabrication, and erection and construction. The data exchange based on a 3-D control curve provides the data integrity required through the life cycle of a steel bridge.

“…Using parametric design features, bridges can be coupled with the axis of the roadway, which enables an automatic update of the bridge's geometry and saves a laborious manual adaptation whenever modifications of the road axis become necessary. In any case, bridges are structures with a complicated geometry (Katz, 2008). They are frequently located in a bend in the road which, more often than not, simultaneously features a longitudinal camber.…”

While there are mature data models for exchanging semantically rich building models, no means for exchanging bridge models using a neutral data format exist so far. A major challenge lies in the fact that a bridge's geometry is often described in parametric terms, using geometric constraints and mathematical expressions to describe dependencies between different dimensions. Since the current draft of IFC-Bridge does not provide a parametric geometric description, this paper presents a possible extension and describes in detail the object-oriented data model proposed to capture parametric design including geometric and dimensional constraints. The feasibility of the concept has been verified by actually implementing the exchange of parametric models between two different computer-aided design (CAD) applications.

“…The design is reworked as often as necessary until no errors are detected before the beginning of the construction phase. Parametric design is a fascinating option for overcoming those problems mentioned above because using a parametric method of bridge design lets architects and engineers find the best possible compromise between form and function [9]- [15]. Several bridge designs have already benefited from using BIM [16] [17] [18].…”

The AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry is gradually shifting away from 2D CAD drawings and toward Building Information Modeling as a result of the fast development of science and technology (BIM). The BIM idea's introduction emphasizes the need to specify a building in a single building model with adequate information to suit its different needs rather than defining it in fragmented documents. This research work aims to use the BIM 4D for the simulation of the construction sequence of a Swivel Bridge. For that, the software Revit was used to make the 3D model of the bridge, and the software Navisworks was used for the 4D construction simulation of the project. The results demonstrated that BIM technology could help reduce delays and problems with the schedule and improve communication among stakeholders, and BIM visualization and simulation features were very useful compared to traditional planning methods.
