Gay projects begin with
optimize concept designs.
Everything is about 3D
digital project delivery.
We want to do everything in 3D.
We want our 3D model that
we creating our computers.
To be The closest representation
old we're going to be placing.
Into the field.
Now the challenge is how we going to do that.
What tools are going to use when methodology?
I'm going to apply and what detail
I need to create a 3D model.
To accomplish what I need to do.
On construction.
More than that was going
to be the best design.
How can I blonde try different alternatives?
Specially, for bridges.
Now in Bentley I will solution for that.
Is open bridge design?
We open bridge designer I can
take my bridge project from the
preliminary conceptual design.
Move it.
To different alternatives
try different alternatives.
Then.
Apply the proper analysis
designed to finally come up.
With the one that I'm going
to be fully designed it.
Producing plans and send it
all the way to construction.
Now in the mean time, not only I have to.
Analysis and design my project,
but I need to sell the project
to the different stakeholders and
then I can use that same 3 model.
To create great visuals animations in
which I can place my dizaine in uh?
Reality modeling environment.
And then we can visualize our
bridge and then create that.
Electronic representation that I
can do in my computer translate
it all the way into the field.
Moving the concept not only
to create a beam project,
but actually really create a digital twin.
Now, for us this workflow.
It's a little bit different
right because we're changing the
Workflow and then open bridge
designer would provide these.
You workflow as we call
an integrated workflow.
Then open bridge designer is that
unique application that combines
modeling analysis and design.
Into a comprehensive Bridgeport.
As the ultimate goal is to
create a through being model,
a digital twin in which
our application will use.
All these capabilities of
modeling analysis and designed.
Dizaine that in which we use,
Le Bridge concretely bridge steel RN bridge.
2 ultimate finalize our project.
Then, with these applications,
you got the advantage of using a
single package so there's no multiple
applications one single application.
Open rich designer that can take
my project from beginning to end.
So then you can use one product to create
an interoperable physical an analytical
model for still unconquered bridges,
which can be utilized through.
The whole bridge life cycle as I said,
from the conceptual design all
the way to construction and even.
2 operations and maintenance.
Now these new integrated workflow starts
with the creation of the 3D physical model.
In which the 3D physical model is an
exact representation of the bridge as
it would be constructed on the field.
Then this physical model. Right.
Goes to analysis and design,
so there is no need to create another model.
The application.
Big the physical model or move it to
the analytical and that information
is used to perform the alliances.
And design process.
Then we need to produce documentation
right so then what we do drop
lands and sketch drawings, no in.
Our application. The 3D model.
It's red and the information
they designed documentation.
The plants if you want to call it like that,
they are notated 2D drawings.
Are extracted directly from the?
3D physical more.
Yes, we still can print paper plans.
We still have to sign and seal plans.
But also we can share that 3D model with.
Reviewing applications like Bentleys,
I tween designed with you.
So we can inform collaboration,
we can actually.
Review and Esign My 3D physical model,
I know just redlining plans.
What about reinforcing on detailing?
Right. Then we use in our bridge.
This parametric models and we can
quickly create our drawings place
fabrication details bar bending schedules.
On concrete quantities.
All these materials all these
elements are extracted one more
time from the physical model.
In which we can generate.
Hold the bar bending Boris
kettles quantities details.
On our bridge.
Then these of course will reduce
documentation production time.
Minimize errors because If my model
changes my reward for example,
will adjust automatically because
it's using this parametric objects.
More than that. Now that 3D model.
I can send it to construction operations.
Right so my 3D model will be transferred
to the field to plan manage construct
untracked all what's happening to me.
Into my bridge,
but now in a 4D environment using time.
Along maybe a Gantt chart. Right on.
Plan the proper construction scale,
maybe even optimize that construction scale.
Realise construction hazards risks.
Just inherited in the field itself.
And then of course,
as the planning is executed.
The scales may change,
you know the earned value
of the project may change.
Depending on How do I apply my?
Planning process.
But then everything is storage.
From the 3D physical model.
Created by open bridge designer.
Now. All that information.
How is being managed we're talking
about physical model analysis and
design documents reinforce detailing
construction reviews all this information?
In which we create at the end.
Our digital twin. Each manage by.
One single Bentley application.
So all these massive amount of
information is managed then.
Bye. Projectwise.
It was using our Federated Project
data each participant it's the owner.
Of their information.
But then we all collaborate
into one single environment.
Now in a bridge project that
I'm starting here for example.
I just create information that depends
for me, I'm at the bridge engineer.
So I'm being in control
of the bridge information.
However.
Basic geometry that I need to
use maybe from Broadway on rail.
So I may be able to read that information.
I may need to get geotechnical
data so I will be able to read
the geotechnical data created and
review by the geotechnical engineer.
I'll make it part of my project.
And then project wise for example,
as I'm connecting all these elements
on reading all that information.
He will just map and track all
the data using all the.
Links that I have 2 different
files that I need to use.
And then use.
In a controlled environment,
the proper application that I need to
access in my case open bridge designer at.
I mean for example,
here in the bridge folder so I'm
see information related to the
bridge what as you can see below.
I'm reading the ground Irene in geometry.
I really need a quarriers from Broadway
so all that information again.
It's Developed by the proper discipline
and I'm just able to read it.
Then I start my project,
then I go to my bridge and say
look I got a black canvas. No.
Yes, approaching you start with a
black canvas, but remember I have
tons of information available to me.
So I be able to bring from
roadway the geometry.
So yeah, my screen,
maybe blank, but then.
A single bridge designer I
can reference I can read that
information coming from geometry.
I can bring information coming
from survey in the form of the
existing ground for example.
So yes. I know my project can
doesn't start with a black canvas.
I already have information.
And then I'm using it to place my bridge.
Quarriers to it happens that
the highway near has developed
also the coral for the roadway.
And he has highlighted to me.
In this tool. Areas.
I need to fill up this gap.
Right and this gap,
we will fill it with a bridge. Now.
The challenge is what type of bridge steel.
Concrete.
If it's concrete what type of beams.
I girders boxes, maybe a segmental.
So it for me as a bridge engineer to decide.
And try different configurations.
Conceptualize that project and see
which is the best alternative under.
More than that I was able
to get reality modeling.
So not only I see triangles or contours,
but then the actual.
Ground their reality modeling of the project.
So then as a bridge engineer in my case,
I'm see what I facing.
I can truly see one of these I'm not
seeing lines as contours or triangles.
I actually can see.
As I was. In the field.
And that's what we call it in Bentley.
Dizaine inner reality context.
Now, what is the next step.
Now I can use the geometry data as
I said I bring the information.
Coming from Broadway but then.
I need to place my bridge.
You know, I need to review these
data so for example, here this is
what the roadway engineer has done.
Using these young application his
case it will be. Open Rd. Designer.
So he will create a geometry, he will.
Place the proper typical section
that it goes with the roadway,
maybe a divided highway. Design.
The proposed profile adjust
that proposed profile.
Right so all that geometry data right.
I as a bridging the year would be able to
access that I don't need to re type it.
I don't need to reload it.
I don't need even worse.
Export that information from Broadway
and imported to my bridge application.
We do not do that.
We don't import and export.
In our applications,
we just read the geometry data.
Now I'm going to my bridge.
Now I'm going to say.
Let's try and steal.
I gotta bridge on this.
So I just read the alignment.
I'm saying I'm going to.
Place the bridge,
there,
I'm going to read the ground
so I can take advantage of the
elevations annoying specify.
Elevations along my bridge so I
don't need to type an elevation.
Actually, I can say my Phone is go.
5 feet to meters below
the ground for example.
And here I'm start placing this
support lines of my bridge.
It's easy for me to decide is going
to be 4 span 5 spans bridge 3 expands
and then I go so I can change,
these configuration at anytime
while this right.
With these 4 span bridge.
Clear some of the information that I already.
Read so I'm just concentrating on visualizing
only the bridge that I'm going to be.
Design. My next step deck OK,
so let's place, the bridge deck.
Why is going to be would
superelevation is going to contain?
What is up to me to decide that but
remember I in the conceptual phase?
So. Please please arm standard
deck with the standard width.
And later I maybe incorporating the
superelevation coming from Broadway.
With no yet.
And now I have.
A Dick in full 3D following
the alignment on following
the profile of the roadway.
Next step beam layout so how many girders
in this case was still I need. 345.
What is the spacing that are going to go
are they following the alignment or not?
In this case, he's on curve so the guards
have to be following the alignment,
maybe right so it will do that.
Oh my God's will be doing that.
Then what are burger owner place?
I standard section or maybe a
buildup section that I can build
different width and thickness is?
For the Top flange bottom flange
the Web or you can use the
standard one eye roll shape one.
ALDI fine, according to my country standards.
To remember this is concept
of let's try something quick.
Let's try a new standard
section and see how it goes.
Then maybe later of course I can refine this.
And this is the section
that I'm going to use.
And then I just placed a curse.
I now where the girl is supposed to go.
Of course, there's supposed
to go below the deck.
I don't need to specify that remember these
up through bridge application so he knows
the relationship between the elements.
We're going to explore that later with.
Now next step. Cross frames right?
How many cross frames, we need?
What is spacing we need how
will want to specify it.
Flight number by spacing
and what I will cross frame.
I want to use.
X range be frames inverted be frames,
so I'm able to define all of that.
Into a library that I just finished
creating and it's a standard
throughout the project for example.
So here I'm using our next frame
type and place it all along the base.
In the bridge. Here we go? I just it.
I remember here this was not an easy task.
Right because I just across
frames all along the curve.
In my alignment.
Feeling out already did geometry
of that placement.
But then we'd open bridge designer that
tedious task that sometimes is undertake
to create an analytical model for this.
He's done automatically
in open bridge designer.
Now this supports abutments peers
what configuration do I want
2 colombiers 3 column peers.
I can use predefined templates that I
can customize so I can say 2 column
peers 3 column peers or different width.
Maybe an HP yr.
Long architectural pier that I created.
And plated very supposed
to go below the beams.
At every one of these reports,
everyone with their own elevation,
everyone with their own
depth of the footings.
For example, below the ground.
So here.
3 meters below the ground.
And then all of these peers are
placed automatically where they
supposed to go below the beans.
And then very quickly I have designed
our conceptualize if you want.
I still I got a bridge.
Not only that since I know
what I place steel concrete.
I can ask for quantities report
all these materials that I use.
And I assign into the bridge
already in my library, so I got.
Are qualities report? I never that
quantity report I apply unit cost.
I got the bridge. Budget.
I know how much this now, this bridge.
Justin materials is going to cost.
Is that good? Can I optimize that?
Maybe maybe I can try a conquered bridge
a segmental bridge for example, well.
Let's Do that.
I switch I said let's try now in the same.
Clear.
I want it right now to do the same process,
but notice till now going to try.
A segmental bridge,
the process is the same
I read the information.
I placed a support lines, you know,
I connect to the terrain so I
can get the ground elevations.
But now My whole designs switches and
said I'm going to do a segmental bridge?
What kind of segmental what
higher construction.
Some base pan balance cantilevered evening,
I can try that so here I'm
trying to spam by span.
So specify their box that I'm going to use.
Say.
Place it all along the bridge.
So there is no more beams right
because he's a box so I just go all
the way through. Into the process.
I'm going to place.
I spam Bayes Spam. Segmental bridge.
'S calculating older placement.
I can specify as you can see
all the materials that you
see materials for the peers
material for the expansion.
Cereal for the closure.
On I have my bridge now.
Now the next step. Is? To place the
support elements thank about Mens peers.
But then All that geometry segmental box,
Allina curve has already been placed.
Now this place appears I can use
the same ones that I use on my
steel pier or my still bridge.
Or select a different one
to try different solutions.
Selected all the way across.
Adjusted to specify materials
one more time specified in depth.
Maybe this one will be 2 meters
below the ground instead of 3
as I did with my steel. Bridge.
Again, I can change all of that.
At anytime. So now.
I have my peers. Old place.
Hello my bridge.
Oh no, I need to adjust it.
Yes, I can move the pier.
I look I already plated.
Maybe I finish the bridge,
but now I said no this pier because of
some ground condition needs to be moved.
So we can adjust it by station,
I can move it. Graphically,
I can change this Q Angle well.
I'm doing here at the station.
Are moving that almost 17 meters away
and then not only the pier moves.
The segment gets adjusted?
Maybe we'll add another segment.
Or modify you in this Q angle.
That I need to.
So, in which in this process if we
do that in some other solutions.
He will take maybe 2 recreate
the entire bridge here.
It's just a matter of moving the
elements and then our bridge will react.
Then quantities one more time.
Alright concrete qualities in this case,
an unicorns achieve.
And then at the end.
How much this bridge will cost
So what is the best solution?
Guess on cost.
Maybe the steel maybe the concrete.
Of course, they are not aspects
that you need to analyze ask maybe
construction methodologies but.
So first approach remember where in
the conceptual Phase I would say.
This is quite good.
And then I finish are creating
a segmental bridge.
Now I saw you refine my process and Friday
from pier configurations trying different.
Gorder configurations bridge
configurations, I can go and achieve.
Final quantities. So I decided that
this is the location of my new peers
on not only refined quantities,
depending on the materials, but then.
Only excavation remember these ground
has a great relief so I need to
account maybe for even the excavation.
Quantities belong below every pier.
Sure. I tended to all of that.
And then truly.
Detail my quantities so this is
Discovision that I need according to
the slopes and depth that I'll specify.
I can get.
All detail report so my quantity,
not only then this case on
bridge materials, but also on
excavation quantities that I need.
Again, I can actually finalize.
The quantities needed.
And even the cost for
their particular bridge.
And that allowed me of course to
decide what is the best solution?
All too clear that gap that
the Rover engineer has left
for me as a bridge engineer.
And our application as I said,
is open bridge designed.
Which will allow me to
create a true being model?
I will be able to use by reading it?
Did you metric layout?
They geometric information
created by the Broadway engineer.
And then of course I will create a single
model for designed built and operations.
Gates of conceptual designs
like I'm doing here,
he will help me on the
evaluation of alternatives.
Based on materials based on cost visibility.
Even on my early stages on the design,
I can start planning the
constructibility of this project.
And then we'd open bridge not only
half the bridge would I have even the
geographical location of the bridge.
And all the pertinent
information related to my bridge
geographical location materials.
Spangling's. Oh.
Construction type or bridge.
As I said all within a single application.
That, in this case is open
bridge designer and for that.
We can say that yes.
Great projects begin with an
optimized conceptual designs.
Thank you.
