Part of this research was developed in the context of BAUKOM project carried out in collaboration with a precast concrete company – PRECAT Hormigones Prefabricados de Catalunya – with the support of the Spanish National RDI plan (2008-2011). ii iii Catalan abstract En la indústria AEC (Arquitectura, Enginyeria, Construcció), és cada vegada més necessari automatitzar l’intercanvi d'informació en els processos en els quals intervé la tecnologia BIM (Building Information Modelling). Els experts que participen en aquests processos (arquitectes, enginyers, constructors, etc.) utilitzen diferents tipus d’aplicacions per dur a terme tasques específiques d’acord al seu àmbit de coneixement i la seva responsabilitat. Tot i que cada una d’aquestes aplicacions, separadament, compleix la seva funció, la interoperabilitat entre elles segueix sent un problema a resoldre. En aquests processos es requereix, a més, accedir a dades de fonts diverses i diferents formats, per integrar-los i fer-los accessibles a les aplicacions BIM. En aquesta tesi s’investiguen les dificultats subjacents en aquests dos problemes –la interoperabilitat entre aplicacions i la integració d’informació de múltiple fonts i formats en el context dels processos basats en tecnologies BIM– i es proposen solucions per superar-les. En primer lloc s’han examinat les ineficiències que actualment existeixen en l’intercanvi d’informació entre sistemes i aplicacions utilitzats en projectes AEC que empren la tecnologia BIM. Un cop identificades, es planteja la seva superació a través de l’aplicació de tecnologies de la Web Semàntica. Per a això, s’analitza la capacitat d’aquestes tecnologies per a integrar dades heterogènies de diferents fonts i àmbits mitjançant ontologies. Finalment, es considera la seva aplicació en el desenvolupament de projectes AEC. A partir d’aquest estudi previ, s’ha pogut concloure que les solucions per millorar la interoperabilitat entre BIM i altres aplicacions a partir de les tecnologies semàntiques estan lluny de proporcionar una solució definitiva al problema de la interoperabilitat. Per tal de proposar solucions basades en la Web Semàntica per a la integració de dades en processos en què intervenen les tecnologies BIM, s’ha acotat la investigació a un cas d’estudi: la creació d’un catàleg de components prefabricats de formigó amb tecnologies de la Web Semàntica i compatible amb la tecnologia BIM. En el context d’aquest cas d’estudi s’han desenvolupat mètodes i eines per a: 1) integrar dades de components i productes constructius en un catàleg amb contingut semàntic accessible a aplicacions BIM, i 2) aplicar regles d’inferència semàntica per examinar els components inclosos en un model BIM i proporcionar productes compatibles extrets del catàleg. La viabilitat dels mètodes i eines s’ha demostrat en un cas d’aplicació: pre-dimensionat d’elements constructius que compleixen les normatives de seguretat estructural i recerca automatitzada de components alternatius en el catàleg. Tot i demostrar el benefici potencial de les tecnologies de la Web Semàntica per millorar els processos BIM integrant dades externes, encara hi ha alguns reptes a superar, entre ells, l’escassetat de dades en format RDF i la dificultat en mantenir els enllaços entre dades quan aquests canvien. Els resultats obtinguts en aquesta investigació podrien continuar desenvolupant-se en dues direccions: 1) ampliant el catàleg a nous productes i incorporant noves fonts de dades relacionades amb els mateixos i 2) creant eines que facilitin la creació i el manteniment de regles d’inferència. iv v Spanish abstract En la industria AEC (Arquitectura, Ingeniería, Construcción), es cada vez más necesario automatizar el intercambio de información en los procesos en los que interviene la tecnología BIM (Building Information Modelling). Los expertos que participan en estos procesos (arquitectos, ingenieros, constructores, etc.) utilizan diferentes tipos de aplicaciones para llevar a cabo tareas específicas de acuerdo a su ámbito de conocimiento y su responsabilidad.

There are, however, no industry standards templates available to follow. This class will focus on the essentials for developing a Scan to BIM execution plan. Starting form providing & clarifying scope of work to define LOD requirements shall be discussed. There are a lot of potential risks that need to be identified and highlighted when picking up a Scan to BIM job. We will discuss some of these cases with project examples. Basic tools like Revit, ReCap, Navisworks available can help us through this process of visualizing model mistakes and getting a quality product. We will learn several tips that can assist us while facing the quality control of a model replicated from a point cloud. Those tips will also help us locate where the focus should go in each case. The goal of this class is, therefore, not only to learn the available tools, but also to analyze the current gaps in setting up Scan to BIM project execution plan. The agenda we will

Oktober 2018 Kurzfassung III Kurzfassung In den letzten Jahren hat sich die VR (Virtual Reality) Technologie zu einer der wichtigsten Innovationen in der Industrie entwickelt. Mit Hilfe von HMDs (Head- Mounted Displays) sind immersive Erfahrungen in einer computer generierten Umgebung möglich. Dabei können sich Nutzer in einer virtuellen Welt bewegen und mit ihr interagieren. In der Bauindustrie hat sich zudem BIM (Building Information Modeling) als neuester Standard hinsichtlich Planung, Umsetzung und des Betriebs von Gebäuden und Infrakstrukturbauwerken etabliert. Durch digitalisierte Prozesse und standardisierte Datenaustauschformate wie den IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), ist mit Hilfe von BIM ein effizientes und planungssicheres Bauen möglich. Dabei spielt die Kommunikation zwischen den Projektbeteiligten durch die Visualisierung von BIM Daten eine entscheidende Rolle. Die Visualisierung von BIM Daten in VR bietet Nutzern die Möglichkeit zukünftige Bauwerke maßstabsgetreu zu erleben und damit Planungsfehler frühzeitig zu erkennen und sie zu korrigieren. Diese Arbeit erörtert die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von VR in BIM sowie die Bearbeitung von IFC Modellen in VR.

Kreider © 2013 Ralph G. Kreider Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 The dissertation of Ralph G. Kreider was reviewed and approved* by the following: John I. Messner Professor of Architectural Engineering Dissertation Adviser Co-Chair of Committee Chimay J. Anumba Department Head of Architectural Engineering Professor of Architectural Engineering Co-Chair of Committee Robert M. Leicht Assistant Professor of Architectural Engineering Ute Poerschke Associate Professor of Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT Building Information Modeling (BIM) does not change the purpose for performing a task related to delivering a facility – only the means by which the purpose is achieved. Currently, no common language exists for the purposes of implementing BIM. This lack of a common language makes it challenging to precisely communicate with others the purposes for implementing BIM. The goal of this research is to create that common language by developing a BIM Use Ontology. A BIM Use (Use) is defined as a method of applying Building Information Modeling during a facility’s life-cycle to achieve one or more specific objectives. The BIM Use Ontology (the Ontology) provides a shared vocabulary that is applied to model (or express) the BIM Uses, including the type of objects (or terms), and concepts, properties, and relationships that exist. The methods performed to develop the BIM Use Ontology included: 1) defining domain and scope, 2) acquiring domain knowledge, 3) documenting domain terms, 4) integrating domain terms, 5) evaluating (refining and validating) the BIM Use Ontology, and 6) documenting the BIM Use Ontology.

July 6, 2011 iii ABSTRACT EVALUATION OF TRAINING NEEDS FOR BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) German Pena, M.S The University of Texas at Arlington, 2011 Supervising Professor: Mohammad Najafi The basic premise of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is to use and share the digital model of a project as a source of information for all participants, in order to simulate and analyze potential problems during the project’s life-cycle, from conception to operation. BIM is a relatively new technology praised by all participants in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry for its innovative tools, and the promise of a high return of investment and productivity increase. The construction industry experimented little growth in productivity in the last decades, and is heavily relying on technology rather than intense labor in order to boost productivity.
