The developments in building information modeling (BIM) technology provide a new approach for remote real-time visualized bridge health monitoring and structural damage detection, but so far, there are scarcely any application cases of a BIM-based SHM system for butterfly arch bridges around the world. This paper reviewed the recent progress on the butterfly arch bridge and its requirements for the integration between SHM and BIM. Based on an actual project in southwest China, work on the spatial mechanical properties, the analysis of monitoring requirements, and the design of functional modul...
