Abstract:This project explores the design and implementation of digital twin models for the continuous monitoring and performance prediction of precast concrete (PC) bridges. Leveraging NVIDIA Omniverse, a cutting-edge 3D modeling platform, the research establishes a streamlined methodology for rapidly prototyping digital twin models using engineering drawings, inspection data, and real-world bridge configurations. The study includes case studies of two bridges in Illinois, showcasing the digital twin's ability to integrate bridge metadata, environmental and condition monitoring data, and inspection imagery into a cohesive digital representation. Additionally, the project extends the digital twin application to precast concrete beam testing, incorporating finite element analysis and crack segmentation into the simulation for enhanced structural assessment and visualization.
The total size of the zip is over 1.3 GB. The .cae file is a file used for computer-aided engineering (CAE) models from the Abaqus software (for more information on .cae files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/cae-file-extension). The .jpg file extension is associated with JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file format. JPEG is a lossy image compression algorithm that significantly reduces the file size of the original image at the cost of quality. The higher the compression ratio the lower the quality of the .jpg file (for more information on .jpg files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/jpg-file-extension). The Portable Document Format (PDF) file format was developed by Adobe Systems and represents two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format. There are PDF readers available on many platforms, such as Xpdf, Foxit, and Adobe's own Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF readers/viewers or online services for basic functions are generally free (for more information on .pdf files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/pdf-file-extension). The .xlsx files are Microsoft Excel files, which can be opened with Excel, and other free available spreadsheet software, such as OpenRefine. The .txt file type is a common text file, which can be opened with a basic text editor. The most common software used to open .txt files are Microsoft Windows Notepad, Sublime Text, Atom, and TextEdit (for more information on .txt files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/txt-file-extension). The .tif file extension is traditionally used for Tagged Image File Format - one of the most widely supported lossless file formats for storing bit-mapped images (both PCs and Macintosh computers). TIFF/IT is a standard for the exchange of digital adverts and complete pages (for more information on .tif files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/tif-file-extension). The .rtf file type is used for documents written in Rich Text Format, a text format with some very basic formatting preserved. The .rtf format stores data in plain ASCII text file with additional formatting commands somewhat similar to HTML files (for more information on .rtf files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/rtf-file-extension).File extension .json is associated to JavaScript Object Notation file format, a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format. JSON defines a small set of formatting rules for the portable representation of structured data. It is used by various applications as alternative option to XML file format. The data in a json file are stored in simple text file format and the content is viewable in any simple text editor (for more information on .json files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/json-file-extension).
