Such a BMS could help to improve the management efficiency and ensure its normal operation, providing a useful platform for the maintenance of massive bridges in China. This system integrates the BIM with the geographic information system (GIS) and contains information management, inspection management, technical condition evaluation, and enables users to cooperate with each other. Finally, a practical BIM-based BMS is established for a long-span cable-stayed bridge in China. The BIM-based maintenance management system is designed. Collaborative management is realized for different users. Web-BIM oriented bridge management is proposed, and portable devices are introduced into the system. Also, a standard structural modeling method is proposed to fast build the bridge BIM model.

Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and International Framework for Dictionaries (IFD) standards are studied and extended, and coding rules are proposed for the Chinese bridge industry.

This paper introduces the development of a bridge management system based on the BIM technology. Building information modeling (BIM) is an emerging technology with powerful visualization and informatization capability, making it an ideal tool for developing modern management systems. Bridge management system (BMS) is critical for efficient maintenance and ensured safety of bridge structures during long-term operation. With the development of the Chinese transportation industry, the number of bridges has increased significantly, but this results in high pressure of structural maintenance and management.
