“…Because GIS technology has the function of a macro layout, it is often used in the regional level and above scenes, as Table 3 shows that the application of GIS technology in bridge engineering at the planning stage mainly involved making need-based decisions for planning new bridges [6,66,67] to improve transportation infrastructure [6,66], traffic jam and pedestrian travel time [67]. Additionally, GIS technology combined with different multi-criteria decision-making methods were used in selecting the best geographic locations for new bridges [5] to minimize cost and also add value to the city image [4] and other benefits (e.g., tourism).…”

“…Three-dimensional bridge models enable digital mock-ups and design enhancements [3]. A modern, technologically-advanced design may be compatible with feasible solutions [4] to help governments, urban planners and other stakeholders in making bridge project-related decisions [5,6]. The use of BIM may facilitate otherwise complex projects [7] to shorten the construction time and reduce cost by minimizing trial and error [8].…”

BIM and GIS Applications in Bridge Projects: A Critical Review

In recent years, interest in BIM and GIS applications in civil engineering has been growing. For bridge engineering, BIM/GIS applications such as simulation, visualization, and secondary development have been used to assist practitioners in managing bridge construction and decision-making, including selection of bridge location maintenance decisions. In situ 3D modelling of existing bridges with detailed images from UAV camera has allowed engineers to conduct remote condition assessments of bridges and decide on required maintenance actions. Several studies have investigated the applications of BIM/GIS technology on bridge projects. However, there has been limited focus on reviewing the outcomes of these studies to identify the limitations of BIM and GIS applications on bridge projects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review the research on BIM/GIS technology applications in bridge projects over the last decade. Using a systematic review process, a total of 90 publications that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed in this study. The review identified the state-of-the-art methods of BIM and GIS applications, respectively, at the planning and design, construction, and operation and maintenance phases of bridge projects. However, the findings point to segregated application of BIM and GIS at all phases of bridge projects. The findings of this study will contribute to guiding practitioners in selecting appropriate BIM and GIS technologies for different aspects of bridge projects.

“…Applying the principles of system reliability, 7 the significance of those two features can be illustrated by comparing loadbearing systems that while equivalent comprise members representing different behaviour patterns: statically determinate members; statically indeterminate members exhibiting brittle behaviour; or statically indeterminate members characterised by ductile behaviour. 8 Consistent design rules such as laid down in the Eurocodes would provide for strict compliance by all three systems with the safety requirements in place. Assuming, then, that the design resistance, R d , is exactly equal to the respective design action effects, E d , for all relevant limit states (R d = E d ), the probability of failure calculated for the statically determinate system, P f,d , would be greater than for the brittle behaviour statically indeterminate system, P f,i,brittle .…”

“…The detailed structural design of any load-bearing system, such as bridges, is a multi-step process. 8 Iteration bearing in mind case-specific constraints is normally called for to develop their structure. That is especially the case in robust design for structures based on the combined strategies recommended in this paper.…”

“…The most prominent features of conceptual bridge design, particularly in connection with meeting and duly balancing unlegislated economy-and aesthetics-related objectives, were discussed in an earlier article. 8 Where addressed in the conceptual design stage, such items may contribute to preventing the most flagrant design errors. Generally speaking, ductile continuous structural systems should be the option of choice to resist the action effects of persistent, transient and identified accidental design situations.…”

In bridge planning, the successful translation of the many conditioning factors into a solution that meets all safety requirements while also addressing considerations such as economy and elegance is essentially a matter of conceptual design. Despite the utmost importance of that stage, which in addition to an intuitive understanding of load-bearing mechanisms calls for imagination and a sense of form and beauty, creative conceptual thinking is systematically underestimated both in engineering training and everyday practice. The resulting impoverishment of the profession stems not only from growing, need-driven and hardly reversible specialisation, but also from inexorably extensive and opaque standardisation and control. The rules for ensuring robustness reflect the increasing complexity and opacity characterising structural design codes. While the practical importance of designing and building robust structures is universally acknowledged, the codes presently in place are often vague or confusing. Cross-referencing, in turn, may lead to loops around rules that, confounding engineers, are counterproductive. At the same time, however, that lack of clarity may afford opportunities for innovative solutions by building items that ensure robustness into the conceptual design of a structure. This paper proposes an operational design process that deals appropriately with all factors of structural performance, including robustness, without compromising bridge economy or elegance. That process, which combines a number of robustness strategies, including risk-based considerations, is illustrated with a case study of a proposal submitted to a design competition for a viaduct.
