Abstract

A method for representing detailed design information of steel bridge member is proposed on the basis of the IFC model. As a first step, bridge related entities in the IFC-BRIDGE V2 and their functions are analyzed. In addition, design documents of steel bridge members are analyzed to extract information items that are not handled in the IFC-BRIDGE V2. It is recommended that several entities in the IFC-BRIDGE V2, such as ifcBridgeFibre, IfcBridgeReferenceLine, and IfcBridgeSection, should be properly relocated. In addition, IfcBridgeStiffener, IfcBridgeJointSystem, IfcBridgeDiaphragm, and IfcBridgeShearConnector are added as subtypes of IfcBridgeElementComponent for representing the stiffener, joint system, diaphragm, and shear connector, respectively. The added new entities inherit all attributes of IfcProduct which is linked with other resources: geometric representation, placement, material information, and so on. Thus, it is considered that a proposed in-depth IFC-BRIDGE model can be used more widely.
