Design and Implementation of Digital Twin Models for Continuous Monitoring and Performance Prediction of Precast Concrete Bridges

This research project aims to design and validate a digital twin model of a precast concrete bridge structure, subsequently integrating this model with sensor data derived from a real-world bridge. This integration will serve as the foundation for driving the simulation and analysis of the bridge model. The digital twin model will be constructed utilizing NVIDIA Omniverse, an innovative platform that facilitates the creation of collaborative and immersive 3D objects, equipped with real-time simulation capabilities. Once developed, this model will play a focal role in the monitoring of bridge structures. It will empower researchers with the ability to rapidly assess infrastructure and conduct predictive analysis. This will be achieved by combining sensor and environmental data with the simulation, thereby fostering a comprehensive understanding of the bridge's structural integrity and potential future scenarios.
