Parametric objects were developed to accurately represent and locate damage within the BIM model of the Coimbra I Viaduct in Brazil, using detailed geometric parameters. On-site inspections leveraged MR technologies, enabling real-time integration of damage information into the BIM. This approach allowed full-scale interaction with the model in augmented reality (AR), facilitating direct comparison with actual structural features and improving the accuracy and efficiency of inspections. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of a simplified MR-based inspection process, offering a complementary method within a multi-platform Bridge Management System, thereby enhancing bridge maintenance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8660,"journal":{"name":"Automation in Construction","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142233777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
