Abstract
Abstract. Nowadays, it is well known that digitization has tenaciously become part of the construction industry. The document is aimed at being an analysis of the state of the art, focusing on the digitization application in post-disaster reconstruction. The new technologies have influenced all the actors involved to adapt to a new designing way, but this methodology brings with itself advantages and disadvantages. This paper will try to identify, clarify and review them. In fact, it will try to explain to what extent the logic related to the design and construction of the post-disaster area may be guided by a single common thread, that consists in the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology use. Through this methodology it is possible to reduce time and improve costs, thanks to the possibility to optimize the design and construction processes and to carry out virtual inspections and analysis based on the information from the construction phases. In addition, the various BIM tools, that allow interoperability, guarantee a semi-automatic review of the project's compliance with regulations and interference between the different design levels (structural, architectural, plant engineering and energy). In this way, there is the chance to improve the accuracy and reliability of the validation process. The entire process is also based on a multidisciplinary approach involving all branches of engineering.
Highlights
In the current historical period, the digitization process is in first place among the activities and objectives to be pursued
Applying digital transformation to the construction sector, the reference is made to the design and management of processes through the sharing of information in electronic, organized and processable form
The digitization is a phenomenon that is involving all the main production facilities, thanks to specific industrial policies conducted by each country
Summary
In the current historical period, the digitization process is in first place among the activities and objectives to be pursued It involves every actor of all levels (government, small and medium-sized enterprises, large companies) in order to create value, to optimize resources and to make work organization more efficient. According to what is reported by the synthetic formalism of a dictionary, the term digitization means: “translation between two different systems in order to transmit and record information In this process, the start is an analog signal, that is composed of a quantity that can change over time and take on an infinite number of different values, such as a wave. The aim of this contribution is to provide an overview of this process progress in the current context, starting from the evolution of digitization in the construction world, up to the management of post-disaster scenarios
