“…To strengthen the practical applicability of BIM-based risk management, an important solution is to align traditional methods with BIM and take advantages of both for managing risks (Zou et al, 2016). A number of studies (Zou et al, 2016, Hartmann et al, 2012, Shim et al, 2012, Ding et al, 2016 have proved the feasibility and demonstrated the benefits including:…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to address the current theoretical gap in integrating knowledge and experience into BIM for risk management of bridge projects by developing a tailored Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) and formalising an active link between the resulting RBS and Building Information Model (BIM). Design/methodology/approach-A three-step approach is used in this study to develop a tailored RBS for bridge projects and a conceptual model for the linkage between the RBS and BIM. Firstly, the integrated bridge information model is in concept separated into 4 Levels of Contents (LOCs) and 6 technical systems based on analysis of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) specification, a critical review of previous studies and authors' project experience. The second step develops a knowledge-based risk database through an extensive collection of risk data, a process of data mining, and further assessment and translation of data. A critical analysis is conducted in the last step to determine on which level the different risks should be allocated to bridge projects and to propose a conceptual model for linking the tailored RBS to the 4 LOCs and 6 technical systems of BIM. Findings-The findings suggest that the traditional method and BIM can be merged as an integrated solution for risk management by establishing the linkage between RBS and BIM. This solution can take advantage of both the traditional method and BIM for managing risks. On the one hand, RBS enables risk information to be stored in a formal structure, used and communicated effectively. On the other hand, some features of BIM such as 3D visualisation and 4D construction scheduling can facilitate the risk identification, analysis and communication at an early project stage. Research limitations/implications-A limitation is that RBS is a qualitative technique and only plays a limited role in quantitative risk analysis. As a result, when implementing this proposed method, further techniques may be needed for assisting quantitative risk analysis, evaluation and treatment. Another limitation is that the proposed method has not yet been implemented for validation in practice. Hence, recommendations for future research are to: 1) improve the quantitative risk analysis and treatment capabilities of this proposed solution; 2) develop computer tools to support the solution; 3) integrate the linkage into a traditional workflow; and 4) test this solution in some small and large projects for validation. Practical implications-Through linking risk information to BIM, project participants could check and review the linked information for identifying potential risks and seeking possible mitigation measures, when project information is being transferred between different people or forwarded to the next phase.

“…In spite of more attention being paid to safety management in recent years, the accident rate of the construction industry continues to be high. Risks are gradually growing due to the increasing structural complexity, project size, and the adoption of new and complex construction methods [3,4]. Therefore, improving safety has become an absolute priority.…”

A significant number of fatal accidents and injuries are still reported in construction projects worldwide inducing consequent socioeconomic impacts. A crucial factor in construction safety is to properly identify possible hazards at any stage of the construction process. Existing research has not focused much on the automatic detection of risks associated with the inexistence or misplacement of protective safety equipment. This paper presents a method for detecting safety risks (to which workers may be exposed in a construction project) concerning the inappropriate placement or handling of protective equipment. In this approach, the construction site is dynamically modeled employing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. In particular, the project status is recorded at regular intervals using a camera. The data provided by the camera are transferred to BIM software and the site plan view is processed via a Matlab pattern recognition module to observe protective equipment misplacement or removal. The software compares the current image with the anticipated safety protection plan of the construction work and automatically detects the safety potential hazards areas along the work area. Within the extracting results, visual representation and labeling of the work areas that present unsafe conditions for the workers are developed and prompt alerts are forwarded to the project supervisor by email specifying the location and type of hazard. The employment of the presented methodology could enable participants in the construction process to promptly identify and restore safety deficiencies, improving thus work safety and minimizing the number and/or the impact of accidents in construction sites.

“…Digital models of the bridge provide common data for information delivery. Applications of BIM to bridge practices have been reported in design, fabrication and construction [3][4][5][6]. Current BIM practices for bridges have narrow scopes for specific phase of the project such as digital mock-up, interference check, simulation, analysis and estimation.…”

Creative design of bridge structures requires new approaches for digital fabrication and accurate geometry control during construction. This paper deals with prefabricated bridge piers which have unique creative shapes. 3D design models were created to realize irregular column shapes. Economic formwork for the precast column segments was provided by 3D printing technology. Panelized formworks were created from the 3D design models and were attached to common steel formworks. During fabrication of precast segments, key values of geometry were controlled by laser scanning. The design models were revised by the scanned data. Before assembly of the segments in construction site, instructions for geometry control were provided to ensure final target geometry of the bridge piers. Information delivery from design to maintenance can be achieved by 3D information models and new format of drawings including QR codes and 3D models.
