Research on Construction Informatization of Railway Steel Bridge Based on BIM in China

Abstract

<p>The construction informatization of railway bridges is becoming a significant feature of “intelligent manufacturing" in China's high speed railway (HSR). In order to explore the implementation of “Internet plus steel bridge construction" and further improve the quality and efficiency of construction, digitization and informatization of steel bridge construction have been studied. The overall framework of digital construction of railway steel bridge construction based on the internet of things (IoT) and BIM technology is proposed after analyzing the key process of quality control during the construction of railway steel bridge. And then the virtual reconstruction of railway steel bridge is presented based on the advanced digital technology. Taking the pre-assembly in fabrication stage and the bolted connection in erection stage of steel bridges as two representative examples, the virtual reconstruction information system has been developed and tested in some HSR railway bridge projects in China, which verifies the feasibility and efficiency of digital control virtual reconstruction strategy. The research is meaningful to the future application and development in intelligent construction of railway steel bridges.</p>
