Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Column Based on BIM

Abstract The production of structures in construction field is beyond the other industrial efficiency. This seems to be problem in construction field to solve. The introduction of PLM (Project Lifecycle Management) to construction industry can be the solution for the problem. There are various tasks and steps in the construction industry, and PLM is a system that can unify and control them. Under PLM system, analysis and design is the most important issue, and recently BIM (Building Information Modeling) is clue to solve for the issue. BIM is a 3D based modeling method that includes information on consecutive work processes; planning, design, construction, and maintenance. In this study, the system of analysis and design acceptable to PLM and BIM was proposed and this system was applied to a typical civil structure, RC bridge column.
