Development of mortar in a PVC pipe bridge by using building information modeling

Abstract

          This article presents the application of Building Information Modeling for analysis concrete in pipe structural. This provides a method for analyzing structures exposed to the impact of acidic or alkaline substances from various aquaculture buildings, including shrimp farm buildings, fish farm buildings and mussel farm buildings, etc. The structure encountered problems with rust in steel, causing rapid deterioration and inability to bear weight as specified. Thus, a develop structure by used concrete fill in PVC using 4-inch mortar-filled PVC pipes and bridge dimension width of 2.6 meters, length of 6.65 meters, and height of 0.8 meters. A load test was conducted to test the weight-bearing capacity  by incrementally adding 20 kilograms to the center of the bridge and recording any deflection that occurred. The test results showed that, when considering deflection according to the MBMA2012 (L/120) standards, the structure was capable of bearing approximately 560 kilograms of weight. However, The relationship between Stiffness(K) of a structure and the slope of the relationship between force and deflection has an approximate value of 57.87 Kg/mm.
