Abstract:Precast concrete (PC) is manufactured in a controlled environment to provide desired quality, durability and efficiency to build transportation assets that address significant infrastructure challenges faced by the nation. Quality deficiencies during any lifecycle phase can easily off set the expected benefits, leading to premature failures and excessive repair costs. Currently, PC quality management heavily relies on a manual approach and remains isolated within each life cycle stage. This multi-phase research project develops and validates a holistic quality management framework for precast construction of transportation infrastructure that collects,measures, and evaluates quality data of the precast process across its life cycle. It integrates building information modeling (BIM), laser, radar, vision sensing, extended reality (XR) along with advanced computational tools to create a digital twin for lifecycle PC quality control and management. Phase 1 deliverables include BIM templates and a tested implementation mechanism for precasters to more safely manufacture high-quality PC products in plant.
