The study material explains options for standardized approaches in modeling bridges across their lifecycle. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) bridge design and construction information exchange is also covered in the course content. The material is based on Bridge Information Modeling Standardization – Report Introduction, FHWA Publication No. FHWA-HIF-16-011.

After completing the course, the learner will have a better understanding about bridge information modeling (BrIM), as well as an understanding of following topics:

• Established standards in various stages of bridge construction
• Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model
• Bridge information modeling implementation
• Domain data models for bridge engineering
• Model View Definition (MVD) overview summary
