Assessment and Prediction Planning of R.C Structures Using BIM Technology

Abstract

Using Building information modeling (BIM) is very useful to facilitate the condition assessment of the building and record all rehabilitation work that has taken place during its life cycle through the building life cycle. The asset owners can receive the benefit of using BIM by incorporating the principles of BIM into the operation and maintenance of buildings. The main focus is on the integration of maintenance data by using building information modeling (BIM) to facilitate efficient inspection planning and to improve the condition assessment process for building elements. This paper presents a framework based on BIM for buildings condition assessment. The framework consists of two models: Condition Assessment Model and deterioration Predictive Model. The Condition Assessment Model manages the condition data that are collected during visual inspection. Integrated with failure records and life cycle prediction models, the deterioration predictive Model integrates with the Condition Assessment Model and forecasts elements failure. The results provide a basis for predictive maintenance of building elements. BIM is also adapted to manage and visualize not only the inspection data but also the predictive maintenance data.
