2023 June - 9 articles

Cover Story: Applied mainly as an information management system in the digital design of structures, only in recent years has the use of BIM also extended to the construction of road infrastructure. The I-BIM (infrastructure building information modelling) methodology supports the designer in the phases of construction and execution considering all aspects related to the project, including sustainability. In this article, the I-BIM approach has been used to design a 35 km cycle path. The design of a cycle path section begins with the modelling of the infrastructure in all its aspects, including the study of the route, modelling of the infrastructure and an intersection study. Creating an infrastructure that increases soft mobility vehicles through a comprehensive design is the real innovative challenge. View this paper
