| Abstract: |
The design of the world record 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is an example of the first steps towards using a BIM for a major bridge design. The model developed by COWI has been used to create 2D drawings and bar bending schedules, to manage interfaces and to check constructability, as well as health and safety related checks for working in congested space. Furthermore, it has proved to be an effective tool in communication with the project's stakeholders. This paper describes where BIM has been applied in the design of the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge. Here special focus is on the construction of the plinth of the tower foundations where the contractor prefabricated the reinforcement cage for each plinth onshore, including all cast-in items and the steel form work and then lifted the whole assembly (18m in diameter) into place off-shore using a floating crane. |
