Uso de tecnologia BIM para o detalhamento de estruturas: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Located in the West Border region of Rio Grande do Sul, the municipality of Alegrete, whose economy is predominantly agricultural, faces challenges arising from the intense traffic of large vehicles associated with an outdated and deficient road infrastructure, specifically on Daltro Filho street, site of the project case study. The street uses a bridge for the passage on rails, without shoulder, raising the risk for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, affecting the quality of life of residents. To enable an effective solution that reconciles pedestrian circulation and vehicular flow, it is proposed the implementation of a metal walkway next to the bridge, facilitating pedestrian movement.In order to optimize the project, ensuring efficiency and precision in detailing, BIM technology is adopted, represented by the Tekla Structures program. This ensures a design aligned with the model established by the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT), reinforcing the commitment to safety, functionality and regulatory compliance of this crucial element of urban infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the advantages, difficulties and steps to be performed by using the concept BIM (Building Information Modeling), which offers an integrated approach to planning, design, construction and management of works, beyond its ability to create 3D models and present information in an agile way. It was elaborated a step by step for the creation and insertion of elements and the creation of the walkway in a virtual way, concluding that the software presents a very effective and simplified showing the amount of materials when using element families, connections and presentation to customer on mobile device. It is emphasized only one difficulty found in the realization of new models of connections and in the creation of documentation as planks, much influenced by the limited amount of material available for aid, which initially hinders but can be bypassed with the advancement of knowledge about the software.
