Intelligent Modeling of Edge Components of Prefabricated Shear Wall Structures Based on BIM

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital tool that can be used to create three-dimensional models of components. BIM technology, with its parameterized modeling scheme, can effectively address design changes. The use of BIM technology in prefabricated shear wall structures can significantly enhance component design accuracy and production efficiency. The Tekla software offers significant advantages in BIM deepening design. By utilizing the C# language, secondary development of the Tekla software, and the development of an intelligent modeling program for the edge components of prefabricated shear wall structures, the deepening design efficiency of such structures can be improved. The creation of BIM models is a crucial step in program development. Different types of reinforcements require various modeling methods, which, when combined with the design specifications of concrete structures, can be compiled to create the fine reinforcement model. This allows for the automatic creation of three-dimensional reinforcement models: “linear-shaped,” “T-shaped,” and “L-shaped” joints of the edge member. The BIM visualization characteristics can then display the three-dimensional model of the steel bar of the edge member in the cast-in-place area, deriving the engineering quantity of the steel bar for the production and construction of the prefabricated members. The modeling program’s development concept can serve as a reference for similar engineering applications, promoting the intelligent development of prefabricated building design and enhancing the efficiency of design and construction.

Intelligent Building Construction Cost Prediction Based on BIM and Elman Neural Network

“…The experimental results showed that this method had good performance in intelligent building information dialogue and provided an effective solution for oral interaction in intelligent building system. Based on the BIM, Li et al (2023) [12] proposed an intelligent modeling method for prefabricated edge members of shear wall structures. This method realized intelligent modeling of edge components through automatic data extraction and model generation technology.…”

Optimization of Thermal Bridges Effect of Composite Lightweight Panels with Integrated Steel Load-Bearing Structure

“…Prefabricated building elements have many advantages when compared to traditional building styles [6][7][8]. In areas affected by earthquakes, workforce shortage problems were present even before the earthquake, so making new temporary or permanent housing is a big challenge [9].…”

“…When compared to traditional building style, prefabricated elements made in a factory require less skilled workers for manufacturing elements and less skilled workers for building construction. With standardized element layers and dimensions, the need for fast manufacturing can be more easily obtained [6][7][8].…”
