A number of companies in the construction industry, including architects and general contractors, are already using BIM modeling on a daily basis, although its use in the civil sector is not yet widespread. There is still a large amount of technology that is used to construct roads, bridges, and tunnels. A civil structure, for example, a bridge, is more complex and requires a great deal of analysis along with the validation of the design in order to function properly.
A BIM approach can help the stakeholders of a project plan, collaborate, and implement the overall construction of a project, no matter whether it is a brand new project or a renovation, or a reconstruction of an older bridge.
Various factors to consider while constructing a bridgeHere are a few factors we should consider while constructing the bridge:-
1. The construction of a bridge should be based on an understanding of geological conditions, references to nearby locations, proximity to water, and the future use of the bridge.
2. There are a number of factors that should be validated and checked before the design process, including the calculation of loads and pressure, checking the connectivity to cities, rainfall, footfall on the bridge, movement of transportation, etc.
3. Virtual Construction modeling can certainly be relied upon after the design stage to verify whether the designs and calculations are accurate and will be able to be implemented during construction.
4. In order to calculate the load on the bridge, it is very important to take into account the number of vehicles crossing the bridge.
5. There must be a consideration for both the volume of traffic and the time of day when it is peak.
6. Bridges that cross rivers need to be strong enough to ensure that they can withstand the flow of water and currents that are flowing through them.
