Structural health monitoring data has not been fully leveraged to support asset management due to a lack of effective integration with other datasets. A Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach is presented to leverage structural monitoring data in a dynamic manner. The approach allows for the automatic generation of parametric BIM models of structural monitoring systems that include time-series sensor data; and it enables data-driven and dynamic visualisation in an interactive 3D environment. The approach supports dynamic visualisation of key structural performance parameters, allows for the seamless updating and long-term management of data, and facilitates data exchange by generating Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) compliant models. A newly-constructed bridge near Stafford, UK, with an integrated fibre-optic sensor based monitoring system was used to test the capabilities of the developed approach. The case study demonstrated how the developed approach facilitates more intuitive data interpretation, provides a user-friendly interface to communicate with various stakeholders, allows for the identification of malfunctioning sensors thus contributing to the assessment of monitoring system durability, and forms the basis for a powerful data-driven asset management tool. In addition, this project highlights the potential benefits of investing in the development of data-driven and dynamic BIM environments.

“…Additional issues being faced by design teams suggest the lack of a simple method to change the BIM model to meet the required building performance from the energy simulation results. Greater integration is needed to allow precise elements to be highlighted that require modification in order for the criteria to be met on the next performance assessment [28].…”

Using building information modelling (BIM) within a design team allows for integration of sustainability analysis such as daylighting analysis, water harvesting, and thermal assessment whilst capturing the data which can be used for BREEAM assessment. Therefore, the availability of data compared to traditional methods can be used to design teams, stakeholders, and environmental assessment bodies’ advantage. Since BIM boasts extensive building performance analysis capabilities, design teams should be provided with standard methodologies and guidance into successfully achieving certain BREEAM criteria. This paper highlights gaps in the existing theory to develop a solid understanding for further research in order to achieve BIM integrated BREEAM design team protocol. Further to this and running parallel to the protocol and guidance, an internal conceptual framework existing within BIM software could be instigated from future research. This will require detailed and innovative solutions to link the credits with the software both from an IT and from a software coding perspective; also, there is great merit into analysing design teams’ cultural and behavioural factors towards sustainable design through the BIM model.

“…The as-built BIM models should include data related to anomalies, damage and performance, which is even less common because in practice much of the data resides in accompanying documents (Dossick and Neff, 2010). Moreover, lack of interoperability between software solutions and difficulties in exchanging information limit the benefits of adopting the BIM approach (Ferrari et al, 2010), and the existing standard data models are not sufficient to describe fully infrastructure assets and structural monitoring systems (Davila Delgado et al, 2015;Gerrish et al, 2015;Smarsly and Tauscher, 2015).…”

In addition to the traditional benefits associated with the installation of structural health monitoring systems, reductions in construction, operational and maintenance costs, and improved performance and quality can be achieved by effectively using the acquired data. However, considered in isolation, the raw data are of little use and value. They must be processed and put into a geometric context within the infrastructure asset, which facilitates the interpretation and analysis of the data. This supports informed decision making, which in turn leads to effective actions. This study outlines a new approach that enables the modelling of structural performance monitoring systems in a Building Information Modelling (BIM) environment and hence permits sensor data to be visualised directly on BIM models. The paper addresses aspects related to: (a) interoperability and standard data models; (b) management and visualisation of monitoring data; and (c) data interpretation and analysis. A prestressed concrete bridge, with a comprehensive built-in structural performance monitoring system, has been used as a case study. The case study demonstrates that by including and visualising monitoring data directly on BIM models the acquired data gain geometrical context within the built asset, which facilitates better interpretation, analysis and all the data-sharing benefits associated with the BIM approach.
