The development of a BIM data structure for bridge maintenance

The application of Building Information Modeling is based on the definition of basic classifications to create a clear data structure in which specific parameters can be defined. In building construction, such basic classifications are already in use. However, there are no standardized definitions of the data basis concerning the transport infrastructure stock. Therefore, a data structure is needed to capture all planes of design, construction, and maintenance. In the course of this work, a BIM data structure was developed together with Austrian infrastructure owners –Austrian Federal Railways and Highways Agency. Within the research group, the University of Applied Sciences “FH Campus Wien”, Vienna, was responsible for the topic of bridges and bridge maintenance. A consistent data structure is the basis for BIM implementation in infrastructure engineering. The potentials range from the use of BIM models for static calculations to their application in maintenance management.
