<p>The world of construction becomes smarter. New building processes, such as building information modeling (BIM), automated manufacturing (Industry 4.0) and sustainable building are an integral part of today’s industry. Also, new material combinations, like carbon reinforced concrete, capture more and more construction applications. The number of practical examples of carbon reinforced concrete has increased. However, this is only the beginning, as the development goals have not been reached yet. After the first approved systems, further questions arise, including high-temperature-resistant reinforcement, economic production processes and the vision of an integral planned, automatically produced, and sustainable smart building. In this vision, the embedded carbon reinforcement is part of the infrastructure that enables smart-home applications and pushes the research ahead. For example, pre-pregs of carbon reinforced concrete are being developed, based on well-known carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) applications. The curing process can be controlled and brought to an end at the construction side, days, or even weeks after the pre-fab production has taken place. Automated robots are capable of placing the carbon yarn in the pre-fabricated formwork. So, the typical manufacturing (value) chain is becoming outdated, as the usual rebar or grid manufacturing is omitted</p><p>– these are also part of the current developments. Also, mineral coatings for the high-temperature- resistant reinforcement are also under development, and it is showing promising results. Another niche industry revolves around multifunctional pre-cast components with integrated heating and energy storage and load-bearing functions, which are already cheaper than the classic separated components. We lead the C³ carbon concrete composite R &amp; D project and have an overview of the latest forward- looking and visionary development approaches in carbon reinforced concrete.</p>

Modern constructions, either private houses or public buildings, nowadays must be built meeting all the requirements of the European Union [EU] standards and must be highly energy efficient. Still, there are a lot of old inefficient buildings with high energy costs that require renovation. These buildings can be renovated applying a passive house model that helps to minimize buildings’ heating and cooling energy expenses. Moreover, the decisions made in the stages of early design and preconstruction are essential for the sustainability in a building facility. It is possible to perform various analyses with Building Information Modeling (BIM) in order to have an optimized sustainable building design. BIM system can be used to evaluate and control the costs (e.g. renovation, efficiency) as well as to monitor the conditions during the life-cycle of the building.

Reinforcement Bar

Structural building information modeling (S-BIM) for reinforced concrete walls based on parametric technique has studied. There are structural analysis and design packages for reinforced concrete structures. 3D BIM platforms which are recently developed and widely adopted in the construction industry are mostly experiencing a difficulty in interoperability with structural analysis and design packages. The modeling of reinforcement placement in the reinforced concrete structures can not be performed using current BIM platforms based on the result of structural analysis and design. This study develops the algorithm and implementation of integrated reinforcement bar placement system by creating a database that stores the results of structural analysis and design so that overall reinforced concrete model including re-bar can be built. Utilization of S-BIM can reduce the time of engineering, the production of working drawing and shop drawing.

Professional Assessment

The most progress in the area of the sustainable building policy and its implementation has been achieved in certain regions by the Building Certification System regulations such as Passivhaus (Germany) and LEED (U.S). These solutions are similar to the more widely discussed and already applied concepts: the Integrated Whole Building Design (IWBD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Although it may sound trivial, it is vital to acknowledge and understand that a building is an integral component of the land lot. In the stage of development of a building concept, it usually lacks a versatile and professional assessment of available resources, especially those of renewable energy. It is suggested at the beginning of the IWBD concept to conduct such assessment on the resources available and more specifically focusing on renewable energy. The assessment should also meet the expectations of the building’s owner to use effectively the potential of all possible solutions. Thus a certificate is drawn up, defining all the resources available for the particular lot. The structure of the certificate data is orientated towards the possibility of designing modern renewable energy technologies, according to their performance under changing weather conditions during the year. Such assessment certificates contribute to shaping the concept of the building and allow achieving the highest level of its sustainability. Article in Lithuanian. Santrauka Didžiausios pažangos įgyvendinant tvarių pastatų politiką pasiekusios šalys, regionai jau parengę ir praktiškai taiko tam skirtus reglamentus, pastatų sertifikavimo sistemas (Pasive Haus – Vokietija, LEED – JAV ir kt.). Juos atitinka vis plačiau diskutuojamos ir jau taikomos viso pastato integruoto projektavimo (VPIP/IWBD, Integrated Whole Building Design – angl.) ir pastato informacinio modeliavimo (PIM/BIM, Building Information Modeling – angl.) koncepcijos. Nors tai skamba trivialiai, bet pastatas yra neatsiejamas nuo sklypo: t. y. stokoja savalaikio, įvairiapusiško ir profesionalaus sklype disponuojamų išteklių, ypač atsinaujinančios energijos, įvertinimo. Pirmame VPIP etape, kuris baigiasi projekto koncepcijos sukūrimu, siūloma atlikti sklypo disponuojamų išteklių, visų pirma atsinaujinančios energijos, pastato savininko lūkesčius atitinkančių jų naudojimo galimybių įvertinimą. Tam parengiamas sklypo disponuojamų išteklių sertifikatas. Jo duomenų struktūra orientuota į galimybę projektuoti šiuolaikines atsinaujinančios energijos technologijas, atsižvelgiant į jų veikimą per metus besikeičiant klimato sąlygoms. Tokie vertinimai padėtų kuriant pastato koncepciją ir leistų pasiekti aukštesnio lygio darnos. Po kelių metų su taip projektuojamais pastatais galima prieiti prie kitokio pastato koncepcijos, sprendinių, išvaizdos ir vertės supratimo.

The construction industry is facing the Building Information Modeling (BIM) paradigm and all its potential. In order to this paradigm becomes largely adopted and fully utilized, the interoperability issue must be properly addressed. While the IFC schema covers the data model necessary for data exchange, the processes occurring daily in the industry need to be better known. In this sense, this paper reports a research that explored the design process of reinforced concrete structures using BIM based systems. To reach this goal, a case study was developed in a structural design company, where the researcher collected data by participant observation, interviews and documental analysis. After the data collection and the analysis of the internal design routines and external communications during the design process, process maps were elaborated containing all the activities developed during the contracted projects. Furthermore, it was appropriately registered the information requirements for each one of the activities using the IDM (Information Delivery Manual) standards. It was possible to characterize the design process of reinforced concrete structures in the studied company when using BIM based systems, as well as to identify the stakeholder information requirements. After the processes and information flows analysis it was also possible to propose a new optimized workflow. This workflow aimed to reduce the number of analogic activities during the studied design process, as well as helped to propose new information exchanges following the IDM methodology.

Although the literature revealed the challenges and drivers to implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the building design industry in general, to date, there are few established methods and processes to overcome challenges of BIM adoption in building design, especially in sustainable building design for managing the project. At the present, BIM adoption in building design at micro level, that is, the level of architects, mainly focuses on barriers with little attention to method and the process of implementing BIM. Moreover, there is lack of a robust research method, that is, mixed method, to systematically investigate the process of implementing micro-level BIM in building design, which is related to the factors, such as challenges and drivers to the challenges of BIM adoption. Furthermore, several studies have looked into micro-level BIM adoption in architecture firms, but few of them focused on sustainable design. This emphasizes a need to investigate and explore micro-level BIM implementation challenges alongside its drivers in building design and present methods and processes generated from architects’ perspectives to address the challenges during sustainable design for the project management, which is the aim of this paper. The research investigation was through a questionnaire that is followed by interviews with the leading architectural firms within the UK. The research reported in this paper is to present a clear view of challenges to micro-level BIM adoption and a framework/road-map to address the key challenges in managing sustainable building design projects, which are related to cultural resistance and culture change, top-down management support, current key challenges and drivers, and client and project managers’ interests. The methods and processes that enhanced the framework can be instantly adopted for building design and for architectural companies including small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

In terms of sustainable growth, Malaysia’s construction industry faces significant challenges, such as construction costs and lack of awareness. To meet these challenges, it is essential to integrate building information modeling (BIM) and sustainable development. As a result, this study aimed to establish strategies for adopting BIM in sustainable building projects. A systematic literature review was performed to classify the strategies to accomplish this aim, followed by a questionnaire survey of 129 construction project stakeholders. Mean score and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were conducted to explore the detailed influence of BIM adoption strategies in sustainable building projects. The results revealed that “workshops, lectures, and conference events are used to enhance public awareness” and “better information on the costs and benefits of sustainable materials” and “strengthened sustainable development” were the most essential strategies to boost sustainable growth in building projects. Furthermore, EFA was conducted to undertake the group analysis, namely, to identify the standardization-related strategy, economic-related strategy, awareness-related strategy, and environment-related strategy. This study paves the way for future scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to investigate the limitations of future studies.
