To achieve breakthroughs in building information
modeling (BIM) with respect to designing bridges and tunnels, the Autodesk
platform, Infraworks, Civil 3D, Inventor, Revit, and Navisworks software tools
are interconnected and further developed. Additionally, a BIMbased
forward design method is proposed herein by integrating BIM with the Bentley
platform software and geographic information system. (1) The standard library
files of the bridges and tunnels are established using Inventor and Revit, and
the main structures of bridges and tunnels are parameterized using the Inventor
iLogic functionality in the Inventor software. (2) Civil 3D is used for conducting
site excavation and extracting route points for route design. The sections of
tunnels and bridges having surrounding rocks of different grades are formulated
into a measurement table based on engineering hydrogeological data. (3) A C#based design tool is utilized for creating a bridge and tunnel
design, which assembles and integrates the lining, steel arch frame, pipe roof,
reinforcement net, tunnel gate, shield tunnel segment, immersed tunnel segment,
and bridge structures of various grades of surrounding rocks in batches
according to the tunnel line in Inventor. This process enables automatic
generation of engineering drawings and quantities. Additionally, the Dynamobased secondary development function in Revit is used to develop the
forward design of bridges and pipelines based on the bridge and selfadaptation library established using positioning coordinates. (4)
Navisworks is employed for visual analysis, construction process management,
and surveying and design control. The proposed forward design method has been
successfully applied in various projects such as the North Extension Line
(including power tunnel) project for the rapid transformation of the Wanjiali
road, Dezhou Shangrao expressway project, and ShenzhenZhongshan
Link project, realizing forward designs of bridges and tunnels.
