A detailed 3D model of the viaduct

Highway Viaduct Digital Twin

A virtual representation of a real-world highway viaduct, created using digital technologies to simulate, monitor, and analyze its behavior in a virtual environment.

Initial analysis

The Problem

1

Total stations and optical prisms to measure asset displacements
2

Extensometers to assess deformations on lower and upper slab
3

Thermocouples to ascertain the internal temperature of the deck
4

Load cells to record bar tensioning force

How to predict the future structural behaviour?

Analysis and prediction of the structure state at each point
Reliable modelling of anchors and intersections
Accurate definition of the structural geometry
