“…For example, Akanbi et al (2019) developed an analytics system to assess how well a certain building design would enable materials recovery. Related studies proposed a BIM-based deconstructability assessment scoring methodology for building designs (Akinade et al 2015) or specifically for the design of steel structures (Basta et al 2020). These two approaches, however, overlook the possibilities of BIM to support demolition contractors during deconstruction projects.…”

Despite that Building Information Modelling (BIM) is often praised as a whole life-cycle methodology, possibilities for deconstruction are consistently overlooked. This study demonstrates what those possibilities may be. Previous studies showed that: deconstruction practices pose several site-based challenges; BIM implementations may help practitioners to address such challenges; and activity theory offers a framework to understand BIM implementations. We aimed to explore how deconstruction practices can be reorganised with BIM by applying an activity-theoretical perspective to a rather unique case-study. The selected case concerned the deconstruction of a nursing home so that many of its elements could be reused to construct a school. During this project, we implemented BIM in three essential activities: analysing existing conditions, labelling of reusable elements and planning deconstruction. The implementations resolved initial problems related with the use of traditional drawings, schedules and instructions. They nevertheless also triggered several additional problems that we attempted to address in successive steps. The organisation of the activities so evolved, which culminated in the formation of three new BIM uses for deconstruction: "3D existing conditions analysis," "reusable elements labelling" and "4D deconstruction simulation". These concepts complement existing BIM use taxonomies and can be appropriated in future deconstruction projects.

“…They put forward suggestions on the safety and structural stability of the membrane structure. Basta et al [8] studied the quantitative evaluation of the decomposability of the cable-net structure based on building information modeling (BIM). Alamdari et al [9] proposed a new damage identification technology for the safety performance evaluation of long-span spatial structures based on the concept of rotation influence line (RIL).…”

Intelligent Safety Assessment of Prestressed Steel Structures Based on Digital Twins

et al. 2021

In the development process of intelligent construction, the safety assessment of prestressed steel structures as an important research direction has become more and more attractive in academia. Digital twins (DTs) is the key technology to realize intelligent construction. The virtual and real interaction of the DTs can provide an efficient management and control mechanism for the construction process. This research proposes an intelligent safety assessment method of prestressed steel structures based on DTs. In this research method, the structural safety assessment is divided into two aspects: performance analysis and maintenance. By analyzing the characteristics of the construction safety assessment, a DTs framework for construction safety assessment is built. Driven by the DTs framework, a physical space model and a virtual space model are constructed. On the basis of virtual and actual interaction, multidimensional information fusion of time and space is carried out to realize the analysis of structural safety performance. On this basis, the paper establishes a Bow-tie model for the maintenance modeling of unsafe construction events. Moreover, the theoretical method formed is applied to the construction of a symmetrical structure (wheel–spoke cable truss). The validity of the method is verified by comparing the cable force calculated by the theoretical method and measured on site. The assessment method driven by the DTs ensures the structural safety and improves the intelligence level of safety management and control of the structure construction.

“…There are a large number of research works that start with a laser scanning survey to perform the 3D digitalization of existing structures [7][8][9], many of which are targeted to the final objective of structural analysis [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. In the particular field of steel structures, we might cite various studies such as the ones by Yang et al [18], Basta et al [19], Laefer and Truong-Hong [20], Donato et al [21], or Morganti et al [22]. There also exist works focused on looking for skin rivets such as the work of Xie et al [23], this paper presents an automated multiple structure adjustment algorithm with density recognition to perform the detection of an aircraft skin rivet based on a 3D point cloud and the adjustment of a circular pattern.…”

Automatic Identification and Geometrical Modeling of Steel Rivets of Historical Structures from Lidar Data

et al. 2021

Riveting is a joining technique that was widely used in iron and steel structures from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Nowadays, many of these riveted structures are still in service around the world, and in many instances, also constitute an important part of the built cultural heritage. The maintenance and conservation of this type of construction is a crucial task for which the HBIM (Historic Building Information Modeling) methodology has recently gained increased attention, postulating itself as the ideal tool for tracking control and conservation-related actions. In the process of data collection and 3D modeling of the structure, the rivets are an important part to be taken into account in the structural safety assessment and health monitoring over time. Any structure of this typology typically presents thousands of rivets, so its measurement and subsequent 3D geometrical modeling is a laborious task and a source of possible errors. Accordingly, this work presents a novel methodology that allows the automatic identification and 3D modeling of rivets in iron and steel structures from LIDAR data. The proposed methodology has been tested with both laboratory specimens and a full-scale real bridge.
