Development of New IFC-BRIDGE Data Model and a Concrete Bridge Design System Using Multi-agents

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4224))

Abstract

In this paper, first, our J-IFC-BRIDGE product model, which is a combination of YLPC-BRIDGE and YLSG-BRIDGE, and French IFC-BRIDGE product models were described. Then, the process of merging these models into the New IFC-BRIDGE was presented, and New IFC-BRIDGE was introduced. Further, the concrete bridge design system using multi-agents that had been developed before was modified to follow the changes of the product model, and the new system and the product model were verified by applying the design scenario of a prestressed concrete girder. Both the New IFC-BRIDGE and the concrete bridge design system showed the feasibility and practicality.
