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.

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.


The Computer Models Of Buildings That Contain All The Information About Future Facilities, Which Is Called BIM (Building Information Modeling) Technologies, Took An Important Place In Architectural Offices And Architectural Design. By Means Of BIM Technologies, The Main Groups Of Specialists Had A Chance To Collaborate From The Very Beginning Of The Creation Of The Building Model And Its Use Up To The End Of The Design Of The Building. Since The 1960s, Computer Programs Were Mainly For Drawing, But With BIM Technologies, It Is Possible To Present A Virtual Reality Of A Building Process. Since It Is Extremely Important To Select Suitable Software To Perform The Analysis And Design In Building Tasks, With The Existence Of Much-Specialized Software In These Domains, In This Paper, Based On The Investigations Performed Especially For The Last Decade Developments And Added Capabilities, A Guideline For Architects And Engineers Is Presented. In This Regard Many Software Were Evaluated And The Most Useful Used Ones Such As Graphisoft Archicad, Autodesk Revit Architecture, Gehry Tech., Nemetschek Allplan Architecture, TAD, Nemetschek Vectorworks Architect, Digital Project Designer, Microstation, Dynamo Studio, Freecad Architecture, Sketchup Software Are Recommended To Be Employed In Analysis And Design Of Buildings. Employing The Recommended Software, Not Only Facilitate The Teamwork In Design But Also Increase The Performance Of The Design


The plastic hinge is a key concept of the theory of frames that differentiates this theory from the remaining models for structural analysis. This chapter is exclusively dedicated to define this concept and describe the different models of plastic hinges. It also discusses the differences of implementation between plastic hinges in steel frames (Sections 6.1-6.4) and those in reinforced concrete structures (Sections 6.5-6.6). This chapter is based on the ideas presented in Chapter 5 and it allows formulating the models for elasto-plastic frames that are introduced in the next chapter.

<p>Today, the process<strong> </strong>of building an enterprise is based on printed and disconnected documents. There is a global tendency that a project is designed by many companies and different teams, however computer tools used in present time are the same from decades ago. Due to the chang in paradigm, the methodology known as building information modeling (BIM) is little by little finding space in the area of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Moved by the process of transition, this research aims to study and evaluate the integration between a BIM modeling platform and a tool for structural analysis. In order to achieve the expected result, it was used a structural project of a real enterprise, first using traditional methodologies, or in other words, based on 2D indepenendent documents. The project was modeled in 3D with an integrated database according to BIM, with the support of the software <em>Autodesk Revit Structure</em> 2012. The model was then exported to the software for structural analysis <em>Autodesk Robot</em> 2012. Strategies for integration are tested and the best practices are described in detail. The results found suggest the use of the methodology in structural analysis is promising, and its implementation must be seriously considered in Brazil. </p>

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Presentation consists of three parts, which are interconnected:</p><ol><li>BIM application for plants treatment and other complicated structures in the field of water management</li><li>Statics of water management structures in the BIM environment</li><li>Application of Common Data Environment (CDE) for water management</li></ol><p>Two areas – statics and water management technology – are crucial for water management structures. Speaking of statics, we mean the statics of reinforced concrete structures. In our company AQUA PROCON s.r.o. we deal with this area comprehensively, ie. from the initial design in the BIM architectural and construction software, through transferring a load-bearing model to BIM software for 3D reinforcement modelling to evaluating model in static design software. All communication is held in Common Data Environment (CDE). Within this environment, a three-way communication is carried out by the designer, contractor and contracting authority. Part of our performance is also above-standard support for reinforced concrete contractors. We provide models of reinforced concrete structures in LOD 400. The use of Common Data Environment (CDE) does not concern only statics, but also the work of all other professions and project participants. Our activities and workflows are based on the philosophy of OPENBIM and IFC.</p>
