Simulation of the Construction of a Swivel Bridge Using BIM 4D ()
ABSTRACT
The AEC
(Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry is gradually shifting away from 2D CAD drawings and toward
Building Information Modeling as a result of the fast development of
science and technology (BIM). The BIM idea’s
introduction emphasizes the need to specify a building in a single building
model with adequate information to suit its different needs rather than
defining it in fragmented documents. This research work aims to use the BIM 4D for
the simulation of the construction sequence of a Swivel Bridge. For that, the
software Revit was used to make the 3D model of the bridge, and the software Navisworks
was used for the 4D construction simulation of the project. The results demonstrated that
BIM technology could help reduce delays and problems with the schedule and improve communication
among stakeholders, and BIM visualization and simulation features were very
useful compared to traditional planning methods.
