Over the last few weeks I have been asked about integration between Revit Structure and Civil 3D and Bentley MX and what can be transferred from each platform. I thought I would update you all on the various workflows that are available and how you can effectively use civil surfaces, alignments and corridors within Revit Structure. Below is a sample model I have been working on to test workflows, coordination and structures in Revit. I have made use of the bridge modelling toolkit and adaptive components for lighting and parapets.
Before I start explaining, maybe some background first. Some months ago, I needed to develop a POC of bridge design with Revit for some important customer meetings. In the past you might have seen already a solution from my colleague at Autodesk, Matthias Stark, which he explained in this class at AU 2015. Also Simon Moreau, author of the BIM42 blog based himself on this method in this post. So first of all, thank you Matthias and Simon for the inspiration. The workflow below is a consolidation of Matthias his method and the method I already used previously. The result is an easy to use flow, applicable on any type of concrete deck or box bridges or even concrete tunnels, using some Dynamo scripts that I have predefined for your personal use. All the data referred to can be downloaded at the bottom of this post.

Corrosion is a primary cause of carbon steel bridge corrosion, posing a severe danger to the safety of civil structures and infrastructure systems [63]. Corrosion is considered one of the most common causes of steel bridge deterioration. A steel girder bridge can be affected by several types of corrosion the most common prevalent form is a general loss of surface material, which causes members to thin out over time [64]. The majority of corrosion damage is caused by general corrosion, which is due to electrolyte and oxygen supply. Furthermore, steel corrosion can be caused by chloride ion erosion. The corrosive effects of chloride ions are well known. When they reach the steel bars, a sequence of complex chemical processes take place, damaging the steel bars passive layer and corroding them. Chloride ions impact the steel bars within the concrete and when the concentration reaches a critical level, the steel bar will corrode [65]. Coating the surface of the concrete can prevent future chloride contamination; nevertheless, the steel bars should be replaced if the corrosion is too severe. For steel components such as steel girders with a low corrosion rate, paint coating systems such as polyaniline (PANI) pigmented paint coating can be applied, which is highly corrosion resistant in neutral and acidic conditions and helps to minimise oxidisation [66]. Moreover, wear and rolling-contact fatigue are the two main characteristics that restrict the lifetime of rail tracks; steel rails should be replaced immediately if the wear rate is severe and showing a reduction in cross sectional area [67].
But both careers also use different skills, according to real structures engineer resumes. While structures engineer responsibilities can utilize skills like "structural analysis," "revit," "risa," and "cad," some civil designers use skills like "civil 3d," "autocad," "civil engineering," and "civil design."
A civil engineer designs and supervises the construction of large-scale public works projects such as buildings, roads, tunnels, highways, airports, bridges, dams, and other substantial infrastructure. Most civil engineers work in the private industry, but some work for a government organization. Their output is almost everywhere. Many of them specialize in a specific project or practice a target profession such as in transportation, structural engineering, or geotechnical engineering. They oftentimes work at project sites, as they monitor the ongoing construction. 2ff7e9595c
