The Federal Highway Administration (FWHA) teamed up with the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) to issue Bridge Information Modeling Standardization<\/em>, setting a path to implement the use of computer modeling for bridge construction in the United States.<\/p>\n

FWHA\u2019s goal was to add to the progress the buildings sector has made in building information modeling (BIM) standardization, advancing the standardization of digital information for bridges.<\/p>\n

NIBS formed a team of experts to research existing modeling standards, evaluate bridge planning, design, and construction and operation processes, and analyze the state of practice to identify a path to bridge information modeling (BrIM) implementation.<\/p>\n

The resulting report includes example component models of steel girder and reinforced concrete box beam bridges for use to exercise available approaches and determine capabilities and short-comings. The report is geared towards practitioners in transportation agencies, design firms, and software companies in the bridge domain.<\/p>\n
