Analysis of the road reinforced concrete bridges design for the creation а library of building information models of their elements

Abstract

   In recent decades, building information modeling have become an integral part of the construction industry. These new technologies provide powerful tools for project management, modeling, resource optimization, and improving the accuracy and quality of design. Despite the obvious advantages, the implementation of new technologies for managing construction processes faces a number of challenges in our country, particularly the lack of libraries of standard elements for bridge structures.
   The article examines the need to integrate standardized design practices with building information modeling. An analysis of the designs of existing reinforced concrete superstructures and intermediate supports of road bridge structures is presented. A set of attribute information and parameters for building information models required at the stage of developing project documentation for the repair and operation of structures has been established. The most common standard designs of reinforced concrete superstructures and supports have been identified, and for selected standard sizes of structures, detailed digital information models have been developed, including working and structural reinforcement of elements. These models have been exported to an open data format, which enhances their compatibility with various software products and promotes widespread practical adoption.
   The results of this work can serve as a foundation for creating a comprehensive catalog of existing reinforced concrete superstructures and supports for road bridges in the coming years. The implementation of such solutions will not only reduce time and resource costs but also ensure the transition of domestic infrastructure to a qualitatively new level of digitalization.
