Using the methodology BRIM (Bridge Information Modeling) as a tool for planning the construction of a concrete bridge in Colombia
Abstract
This paper shows the experience of using innovative methodologies for planning the construction of a concrete bridge in Colombia. The BrIM (Bridge information modeling) methodology was applied in order to improve the performance and planning development of the construction of this type of structure. The project development was divided into three stages: the construction of the conceptual model, the simulation of the construction process, and the quantification of materials and costs. The experience showed that the integrated models can become a valuable tool in the process of planning, designing and constructing different types of bridges. In order to use them, however, it is necessary to know the fundamentals of software use and have previous experience in modeling and representing the bridge components. In that case, the needs of the construction industry, such as improving quality, reducing costs, providing the tools for an adequate control of the construction, and reducing the design and production times could be met.Downloads
