Vertical ties connected to the arch support deck from above. It can be considered a bridge between the arch …
Building information modelling (BIM) is a technology which provides a realistic three dimensional model of a structure containing different information of a structure in one single model. In simple word, BIM is a single platform which combines different units of a structure making it easier to create clash-free structure. It is a platform in which …
