摘要: This study investigated the capabilities of several existing BIM software packages to determine their applicability to the challenge of documenting bridge condition data. Specifically, we considered the ability of the software to accept, store, and export information about the type, location, and severity of bridge damage. Autodesk Revit was identified as the software package with existing capabilities most adaptable to the bridge documentation problem, and the ability to document bridge condition with Revit was demonstrated on a sample bridge. Subsequently, to demonstrate the utility of storing the additional bridge condition data an analysis tool was written using Visual Basic in Microsoft Excel that could accept the exported condition information and use it to calculate load ratings for bridge elements and approximate repair quantities.Quality information about bridge condition can help allocate maintenance resources. Documenting the results of bridge inspections in a way that allows for efficient reuse of the information is challenging. Building information modeling (BIM) is software that has the potential to provide a significant improvement in the documentation of inspection findings.
