A Framework of BIM-Based Bridge Health Monitoring System

During the monitoring of bridge health, traditional method of information transmission based on paper mediums can easily cause omissions, delays and errors, and make the information management become burdensome, complex and inefficient. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technology which integrates information of different phases during the full life-cycle of the project, so as to achieve a complete and timely transmission of information. A framework of BIM-based bridge health monitoring system is built in this paper. It is aiming to establish an information-sharing platform with BIM model. Based on a practical engineering case, the application of the system is introduced.
