Abstract

Digital twins are virtual counterparts of objects throughout their whole life cycle. This multi-industrial concept is gaining increasing interest, also in civil engineering, reflecting the interdisciplinary integration of industries. The virtual collaboration following the digital twinning idea will be based on multi-industrial standards, which forces a general paradigm not dedicated to an isolated industry. Therefore, also civil engineering community spotted the need for adopting comprehensive digital twinning. Nonetheless, the ongoing works still lack the principles driving the practical implementations. Therefore, this article proposes characteristics of digital twins of bridges. The proposed characteristics address the specificity of bridges and civil engineering practices but also follow general concepts of the digital twinning idea. The characteristics can be perceived as a part of a framework guiding the creation, utilization, and interpretation of digital twins of bridges.
