Aplicação da metodologia BrIM para o registro e análise de informações na avaliação e manutenção de obras de arte especiais

Abstract

Special Structures (OAE) are constantly exposed to various agents that contribute to their deterioration. The lack of proper maintenance can lead to issues that compromise the durability and functionality of these structures. This study aims to apply the BrIM (Bridge Information Modeling) methodology for recording and analyzing information related to the inspection and evaluation of OAEs, with an emphasis on the main pathological manifestations, using a digital model. The methodology involves creating a parametric virtual model of a pedestrian bridge, which aims to store and characterize the pathological manifestations present in the structure. For this model creation, the BIM software Revit was used. The developed virtual model ensured that the information was efficiently stored and managed. This approach allowed for a more detailed analysis and a comprehensive understanding of the extent and severity of the issues identified in the pedestrian bridge. By integrating these records into a digital model, a visual and interactive representation of the pathological manifestations was obtained, facilitating the identification and prioritization of the necessary maintenance actions. Furthermore, this integration optimizes infrastructure management, significantly contributing to the preservation and maintenance of the OAEs. The BrIM methodology proved to be effective in improving the inspection process and in making informed decisions, providing a valuable tool for professionals involved in the maintenance and management of these structures. Therefore, this work highlights the relevance and applicability of BrIM in the context of OAEs, promoting more efficient and sustainable management.
