Abstract

In recent years, the requirement for landscaping has become increasingly stringent as large-scale bridge construction continues in China, and a conventional bridge scheme creation process has the disadvantage of having too many factors to consider and being difficult to coordinate and inefficient to collaborate. Faced by the current situation of short scheme creating period, bridge engineers should strengthen their role as designers and be able to perform scheme creation and design independently and efficiently. Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology can provide bridge engineers with advanced technical means and design process. This paper mainly studies how to apply BIM technology to improve the efficiency, cost control and quality of bridge scheme creation, using the Minjiang Bridge in Meishan City, Sichuan Province as an example. From the discussion it can be seen that: (1) the efficiency of scheme creation, presentation and scheme selection can be improved with the aid of the new process and approach together with the Parameterized Scheme Library; (2) the all-in-one process of scheme creation and design led by the bridge designer effectively simplifies communication and iteration; (3) compared with the conventional approach, the new method greatly improves the efficiency and quality of scheme creation.
