“…Though BIM has been given different literal definitions by different countries and organizations, it is widely regarded as an effective technology for construction management. Currently, the implementation of BIM has become an emerging trend in the construction industry [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The potentials of BIM implementation and its benefits have been studied in existing literature, as shown in Table 1 .…”

In recent years, building information modeling (BIM) has been receiving growing interest from the construction industry of China. Nevertheless, although BIM has many foreseeable advantages, many studies claimed that these advantages have not been sufficiently achieved in practice at the current stage. In this circumstance, it is interesting to investigate what really drives the adoption of BIM. Based on Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB), a hypothetical model which involves nine latent variables is initially established. Then, a questionnaire is designed and distributed to the construction professionals in the Chinese context. After reliability and validity analysis, the goodness-of-fit of the initial model and the related theoretical assumptions are tested through structural equation modeling (SEM). Based on the modification indicators, a modified model is finally derived. Results show that economic viability and governmental supervision are the most critical factors that influence construction professionals’ BIM adoption behavior in China, sharing weights of 0.37 and 0.34, respectively, whereas other factors play limited roles in this regard. The research findings revealed from this study can provide insightful references for countries that intend to promote BIM adoption in a similar circumstance.

“…The corresponding properties were the layer thickness and the material: sand and gravel in the case of subgrade and sub-ballast/ballast layers, respectively. By way of example, the subgrade was modeled as a slab with dimensions of 12.0 × 25.6 × 0.45 m 3 . For the geotextile and geogrid components, the procedure was similar: the thickness was 5.4 mm (arbitrated value), and a new material, polypropylene, was created, with the appropriate thermal and mechanical properties, in addition to other product information (e.g., manufacturer and model).…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an Industry 4.0 methodology that is increasingly used in the domain of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). BIM emerges as a new methodology, one that is more collaborative and based on parametric three-Dimensional (3D) models, centralizing different types of information of a geometric, physical, and economic nature. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the application of the BIM methodology to a rail track rehabilitation case study using a geotextile and geogrid in the ballast layer base. The creation of the 3D and 4D BIM models was performed using various BIM-based tools, which made it possible to achieve the spatial and parametric representation of the rail track and the simulation of the main construction tasks. A new BIM object pertaining to the rail track was created. This paper describes the procedures applied in achieving the BIM models, the limitations involved, and the interoperability between the BIM tools. Additionally, the potential for information extraction with respect to the infrastructure design, construction, and operation, e.g., planning and scheduling, quantities, graphic outputs, and track geometry quality, was demonstrated. It was concluded that the BIM methodology was viable and could be implemented with benefits, despite certain difficulties and limitations, which emphasize the need for further developments.

“…Building information modelling (BIM) is rapidly growing and expanding. It has provided a critical solution to overcome the issues raised by the traditional methods [1,2]. BIM has been adopted by many new buildings, where a large number of old buildings also require the construction of a BIM model to benefit their operation and maintenance that can be consistent and available to the current technologies.…”

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is one of the popular technologies to acquire critical information for building information modelling. To allow an automatic acquirement of building information, the first and most important step of LiDAR technology is to accurately determine the important gesture information that micro electromechanical (MEMS) based inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors can provide from the moving robot. However, during the practical building mapping, serious errors may happen due to the inappropriate installation of a MEMS-IMU. Through this study, we analyzed the different systematic errors, such as biases, scale errors, and axial installation deviation, that happened during the building mapping, based on a robot equipped with MEMS-IMU. Based on this, an error calibration model was developed. The problems of the deviation between the calibrated and horizontal planes were solved by a new sampling method. For this method, the calibrated plane was rotated twice; the gravity acceleration of the six sides of the MEMS-IMU was also calibrated by the practical values, and the whole calibration process was completed after solving developed model based on the least-squares method. Finally, the building mapping was then calibrated based on the error calibration model, and also the Gmapping algorithm. It was indicated from the experiments that the proposed model is useful for the error calibration, which can increase the prediction accuracy of yaw by 1–2° based on MEMS-IMU; the mapping results are more accurate when compared to the previous methods. The research outcomes can provide a practical basis for the construction of the building information modelling model.
