Abstract

Within a project related to the area of bridges, we work with different tools and between this information is usually managed through the use of CAD drawings made basically in 2D. Today, a new concept of BIM applied to bridges called Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM), which well implies being a methodology with different uses and being the solution in helping the different parties to work more collaboratively, effectively and simultaneously. This paper presents the experience of applying one of these uses in the phase of analysis and structural diagnosis of ten bridges in Chile, which demonstrates that this technology becomes a valuable tool for information management through the virtual model worked between the different parties involved in the maintenance and operation of a project.
