Automated Generation and Internal Force Visualization for Box Culvert Based on Building Information Modeling

Box culverts, as a commonly employed structural form for culverts, play a critical role in traversing topographic barriers, ensuring the safety and smooth operation of transportation means such as roads and railways. However, traditional design methodologies are often time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies, failing to achieve the efficiency and precision required by modern engineering construction. To address these challenges, using the Revit 2021 and Midas Civil 2021 software platforms, we developed a Building Information Modeling (BIM) parametric modeling method for box culverts using Dynamo’s visual programming capabilities. This method enables the rapid and accurate automated generation of box culvert BIM models. Furthermore, this study proposes an effective strategy for conversion between box culvert BIM models and Midas Civil finite element models, as well as internal force visualization within a BIM project. A case study involving a box culvert underpass beneath an expressway in an urban setting was modeled parametrically and structurally validated, demonstrating that the approach not only significantly enhances modeling efficiency but also strengthens computational capabilities through bidirectional data exchange between BIM and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. This research has effectively advanced the application and practical implementation of BIM technology in box culvert engineering.

The Internet of Things can provide many functional services, such as real-time monitoring, remote tracking, automatic update, plan management and a series of personalized services and management, to achieve the management, control and detection of various things, and ensure the high-speed and effective operation of the system. The emergence of the building system of modern communication network technology has brought many conveniences to people, and there is still a broad space for development. The combination of new Internet of Things technology and intelligent buildings will certainly be an important development direction.

Multidimensional evolutionary analysis of China’s BIM technology policy based on quantitative mapping

ABSTRACT In the wave of the digital era, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as the primary tool for intelligent construction and digital transformation in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. China's focus on policy guidance for the dissemination and application of BIM technology has promoted high-quality development and technological innovation in the AEC industry. However, few studies have described the multi-dimensional evolution picture of BIM technology policy in China, and lack of effective grasp and prediction of policy evolution law and future direction. An improved policy quantitative analysis framework is built using natural language processing (NLP) based on deep learning in this paper. The dynamic characteristics of 242 Chinese BIM technology policy documents from 1998 to 2022 in the PKULAW database are quantitatively analyzed by the framework, and the four-stage integrated evolution of Chinese BIM technology policy is quantitatively mapped in a visual form through network analysis and dynamic topic model (DTM). Furthermore, this research conducts a comprehensive discussion from three dimensions, providing valuable insights for policy makers and industry participants in China. The findings contribute to the deep integration of policy optimization and the construction industry, while also aiming to share China's experience in BIM technology governance with other countries and regions. Ultimately, this study seeks to support the global AEC industry in its digital transformation and development by offering valuable knowledge and perspectives.

Research on Profit-Sharing Mechanism of IPD Projects Considering Multidimensional Fairness Preferences and BIM

The integration of building information modeling (BIM) and the integrated project delivery (IPD) mode effectively promotes collaboration among project members and enhances project profitability. However, the issue of profit sharing significantly impacts the successful implementation of IPD projects. To enhance the profit-sharing mechanism of IPD projects and ensure their smooth implementation, a game analysis model of profit sharing in IPD projects was established based on the Stackelberg game theory, taking into account the multidimensional fair preferences of the participants and the application of BIM technology. Through simulation, the impact of various parameters of participants on output utility, total revenue, and sharing coefficient in IPD projects was analyzed. The results show that: (1) participants achieve their highest output utility and total revenue under vertical–horizontal fairness preferences; (2) under vertical fairness preferences, the profit sharing coefficient is the highest, while the output utility and total revenue are the lowest; (3) although the output utility and total revenue of participants under horizontal fairness preferences exceed those under neutral fairness preferences, the profit-sharing coefficient is lower; (4) the output utility, the total revenue, and the profit-sharing coefficient of the participants all increase with the increase in effort utility value and decrease with the increase in the effort cost coefficient and the risk avoidance coefficient. The research findings provide valuable theoretical support for the profit sharing of IPD projects, thereby further promoting the advancement and implementation of the IPD model.

Barriers to Building Information Modeling from an Individual Perspective in the Chinese Construction Industry: An Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology

Building information modeling (BIM) is a crucial information technology that promotes the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. It has been widely used in various stages of construction projects, including design, construction, and operation. However, BIM technology still faces numerous obstacles in practice. From the perspective of construction practitioners, this study constructs a structural equation model to explore the obstacles encountered by construction practitioners in the process of applying BIM technology. Task–technology fit, effort expectancy, performance expectancy, user trust, and facilitating conditions can significantly improve practitioners’ behavioral intention, with task–technology fit having the most significant impact on behavioral intention. Facilitating conditions and behavioral intention significantly affect usage behavior, while perceived cost does not significantly affect behavioral intention. The multiple-group analysis found that in the path of performance expectancy on behavioral intention, males have a significant effect while females do not; in the path of facilitating conditions on behavioral intention, higher education levels have a significant effect while lower education levels do not; in the path of facilitating conditions on behavioral behavior, lower usage time has a significant effect while higher usage time does not. Suggestions for promoting the application of BIM technology are proposed in this article to improve its utilization rate. This study provides more perspectives and ideas for future research on BIM diffusion.
