Abstract This project was undertaken to investigate alternative Bridge Information Modeling standards. The process developed is called OpenBrIM. OpenBrIM is an alternative method for exchanging bridge information modeling data between different application platforms, organizations, and users. It is a community driven, free, open, on-cloud information modeling system designed for the bridge industry. With OpenBrIM, there’s one central data repository from which all participants operate. Participants are allowed to access information from and to contribute information into the repository. For this project, approximately 30 standard bridge component objects were developed. The OpenBrIM concept uses a standard XML data format to describe dimensions and other data parameters for bridge components. Bridge component library objects are defined parametrically, allowing repeated use for similar components by varying the geometric and/or physical property data. Common data can be defined globally within a project and automatically update all affected objects. In the future, new standards will be developed by the bridge community – the actual users of the information with the most knowledge about various bridge components. 17. Key Words 18.

  • Based Building Energy Simulation
    PAVING THE WAY FOR EXHAUSTIVE AND SEAMLESS BIM- BASED BUILDING ENERGY SIMULATION Sylvain Robert, senior researcher, [email protected] CEA LIST, Information, signal and sensors departement, Gif-sur-Yvette, France Bruno Hilaire, senior researcher, [email protected] Paul Sette, senior researcher, [email protected] Souheil Soubra, head of division, [email protected] Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB), Mod-Eve division, Sophia-Antipolis, France ABSTRACT This paper presents an on-going work, which aims at improving the support for BIM-based energy simulation. The contribution is twofold. Firstly, a discussion about BIM-based energy simulation is provided, with an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art and a synthetic highlighting of the main related research issues, i.e. provision of an extensive IFC toolkit to perform the various translations and to make the link with BIM-based collaborative work support; validation of IFC models (completeness and correctness) and translation into the data formats used by the simulation tools; enrichment of IFC to enable exhaustive description of building elements and HVAC systems; user interfaces and usability. Then, the paper focuses on the issue of HVAC systems BIM descriptions and gives the result of a study performed on the capabilities of the IFC in this matter. This study entailed reviewing the properties and parameters needed to describe HVAC systems in a representative selection of simulation environments, and proposing ways to describe accordingly the systems in IFC (relying on proper enrichment of native IFC constructs). From these two contributions, the paper draws conclusions about the limitations of current support, and about the directions to take to fully enable BIM-based energy simulations.

Baiden …………………………… … ………………..………… (Head of Department) Signature Date i ABSTRACT Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been in the Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry over the world for the past decade and has gain roots in the developed countries. Countries who have advanced in the use of BIM have already benefited from its advantages which include productivity, reduction of errors and value for money. In developing countries and for that matter Ghana, the awareness and use of BIM is very low, therefore having a negative effect on the AEC industry. There is therefore the need to promote BIM awareness in the country.

  • SUCCESS STORY Tek Steel Ltd Saved Half Its Time with Autodesk® Advance Steel
    SUCCESS STORY Tek Steel Ltd saved half its time with Autodesk® Advance Steel Fire escape for Victoria Health center Nouveau-Brunswick Canada by Tek Steel Ltd Software used: Autodesk® Advance Steel The Victoria Health center, a Community Mental Health Services which promotes optimal mental health and independence for all individuals, requested to replace its non-conformed fire escape stairs. Tek Steel Ltd changed it with a three story self-supporting steel fire escape stairs in conformity to the fire code using Autodesk® Advance Steel. This switch back stair required a special cantilever design for the landings reaching the existing doors. Another challenge was that the project had to be done in a “fast track” manner to fulfill the client’s needs. Autodesk® Advance Steel really simplified the 3D modeling, speeded up the client’s project delivery and was a real money saver! Nowadays, steel detailers must have the good working tool to accomplish their work. As a mid-size steel fabricator doing “ most of our detailing in house we needed a tool able to rapidly create a full 3D model and to extract quick fabrication drawings. After evaluating different solutions Autodesk® Advance Steel was the best fit for our needs because of its capabilities for the miscellaneous steel and AutoCAD compliancy. Even though that I’m a new Advance Steel user I can say that I saved 50% of my time in this project as if I would have used my old StruCAD software. ” Don Dipaolo, Steel detailer, Tek Steel Ltd THE CHALLENGE THE SOLUTION - 2D shop and erection drawings

  • From Point Cloud to Bim: a Modelling Challenge in the Cultural Heritage Field
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLI-B5, 2016 XXIII ISPRS Congress, 12–19 July 2016, Prague, Czech Republic FROM POINT CLOUD TO BIM: A MODELLING CHALLENGE IN THE CULTURAL HERITAGE FIELD C. Tommasi*a , C. Achille a, F. Fassi a a Politecnico di Milano, 3D Survey Group, Dept. Of Architecture, Building Environment and Construction engineering, Via Ponzio 31, 20133 Milan, Italy – (cinzia.tommasi, cristiana.achille, francesco.fassi)@polimi.it Commission V, WG V/2 KEY WORDS: Real based model, Modelling, Cultural Heritage, BIM, Parametric modelling, Point cloud, Survey ABSTRACT: Speaking about modelling the Cultural Heritage, nowadays it is no longer enough to build the mute model of a monument, but it has to contain plenty of information inside it, especially when we refer to existing construction. For this reason, the aim of the research is to insert an historical building inside a BIM process, proposing in this way a working method that can build a reality based model and preserve the unicity of the elements. The question is: “What is the more useful mean in term of survey data management, level of detail, information and time savings?” To test the potentialities and the limits of this process we employed the most used software in the international market, taking as example some composed elements, made by regular and complex, but also modular parts. Once a final model is obtained, it is necessary to provide a test phase on the interoperability between the used software modules, in order to give a general picture of the state of art and to contribute to further studies on this subject.

Okpwe Mbarga PhD Researcher, Department of Civil Engineering National Advanced School of Engineering, University of Yaounde I, Cameroon Mamba Mpele Research Professor, Department of Civil Engineering National Advanced School of Engineering, University of Yaounde I, Cameroon ABSTRACT All round the world, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is transforming the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Its various contributions have pushed many countries to adopt it for the realization of construction projects. In this context, this article presents a BIM review in AEC industry in order to draw lessons for Sub-Saharan Africa through the case of Cameroon. It reveals that with a BIM adoption level more than 90% in many countries, North America, Oceania and Europe are very advanced. They are followed by Asia and South America. In Sub- Saharan Africa, BIM is beginning to be known by many engineers but its potential still unexploited for the realization of construction projects. To change this situation in the sub-continent, local institutions dedicated to training and research in civil engineering should be more engaged in order to effectively support all stakeholders in the understanding, spreading and implementation of BIM.
