Abstract

The concept and technology of a digital twin, which represent a replica of a real object in a virtual space called Industry 4.0, are widely used across all industries and purposes. Similarly, in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, there is an urgent need to develop a technology called BIM, a form of digital twin based on 3D models, for the purpose of improving productivity and reducing costs. Bridge structures are required to be safe, reliable, and durable, and various research studies have been conducted on maintenance and repair strategies and their development by fusing health monitoring and digital twins. In this study, we explore the development of digital twin–BIM technology and demonstrate its various applications for an existing bridge structure where the implementation of health monitoring is planned. Moreover, we evaluate the characteristics of the structural performance of the bridge structure using digital twin–BIM technology.
