Utilization Of Building Information Modeling Research Articles

Analysis of Awareness and Utilization of BIM in Civil Engineering

Recently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged as a hot topic in the construction industry. However, the application of civil engineering, both domestic and foreign, is minor because of the distribution in a wide area, highly liner dependence and difficulty to take advantage of the standard library. Civil engineering requires a lot of time and financial resources compared to architectural engineering. If BIM is completely applied to civil engineering, it will be possible to manage the schedule and cost using 3D and facilitates effective communication between various stakeholders. For the application of BIM in civil engineering, we surveyed the awareness, utilization and effectiveness of BIM on the civil engineering companies. Also, we derived necessary improvements and analyzed new business areas for BIM application. The results of the study will be used as a reference of development for SOC civil engineering BIM ordering guide and related standard.

A Study on the Issue Analysis for the Application of BIM Technology to Civil Engineering in Korea

As conducted in the field of construction, the utilization of BIM (Building Information Modeling) is becoming a hot issue for many public work projects. Also, its market seems to be expanded as BIM is applied in procurement constructions. In this study, it examined the current state of BIM application that is being utilized in Civil Engineering nowadays for the BIM technology application while analyzing the issues raised regarding its application. The analyzed issues - Break off of BIM data in each construction stage, lack of cooperative system, insufficient standard library and guideline, etc. - were classified in terms of process infrastructure and system, and each measure for improvement was derived. It is advised to establish the method of strategic approach and detailed action plan for the execution of the improvement measures.

BSC를 기반으로 한 BIM프로젝트의 만족도 측정에 관한 연구

건설프로젝트의 대형화, 복잡화, 다양화로 인해 전략적 대응방안 중 하나로 BIM(Building Information Modeling)이 등장하였다. 최근 조달청에서는 2012년부터 500억 이상의 건설 프로젝트에 BIM적용을 의무화하는 BIM 활성화 계획을 발표하여 국내 건설 산업 전반으로 BIM도입이 확산되고 있다. 이에 BIM기반 프로젝트 사례를 바탕으로 각종 BIM연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 현재 BIM관련 연구는 BIM도입에 대한 단편적인 문제점 도출 및 BIM에 대한 기술력과 체제 구축 등의 문제점을 중점으로 활발히 진행되고 있으나, 본질적인 BIM기반 프로젝트 전반에 대한 만족도에 관한 연구는 전무하다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 BIM기반 프로젝트에 대한 실태 파악 및 만족도를 조사하여 이를 종합적으로 분석하고 현재 실무자들의 시각에서의 프로젝트 내 BIM적용에 대한 중요 부문 및 취약 부문을 파악한 뒤 중점 개선하는 방향을 제시하는 등 효율성 면에서의 BIM기반 프로젝트에 대한 만족도 연구를 하였다. Building Information Modeling technology (BIM) is one of the most effective solutions to deal with the trend that buildings are getting more and more complicated, large-scaled, and multiple-purposed. BIM in the construction industry is increasingly adopted since the Korea Public Procurement Service announced that BIM would be obligated in a construction project whose total cost is over 50 billion won from 2012. This fact has boosted BIM related research projects as well. However, the majority of the studies have been focusing on the solutions with technological points of view and there has been lack of research on how much degree project stakeholders are satisfied with the BIM adoption in their projects. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the current status and satisfaction degree of stakeholders in a synthesized point of view in BIM-based projects in order to identify critical factors and weak points in the BIM adoption process. The results of this study would greatly help to improve the strategies and processes in BIM-based projects as well as to increase the satisfaction degree of BIM utilization in a project.

Application Areas and Data Requirements for BIM-Enabled Facilities Management

Facilities management (FM) encompasses and requires multidisciplinary activities, and thus has extensive information requirements. While some of these needs are addressed by several existing FM information systems, building information modeling (BIM), which is becoming widely adopted by the construction industry, holds undeveloped possibilities for providing and supporting FM practices with its functionalities of visualization, analysis, control, and so on. This paper explores how BIM can be a beneficial platform for supplementing FM practices. An online survey and face-to-face interviews were conducted to assess the current status of BIM implementations in FM, potential applications, and the level of interest in the utilization of BIM. Interactions between BIM and FM are defined by illustrating application areas and data requirements for BIM-enabled FM practices. Highlighting the synergy between the two, this paper can help professionals recognize potential areas in which BIM can be useful in FM practices.

Building information modelling (BIM) framework for practical implementation

Recent advances in building information modelling (BIM) have disseminated the utilization of multi-dimensional (nD) CAD information in the construction industry. Nevertheless, the overall and practical effectiveness of BIM utilization is difficult to justify at this stage. The purpose of this paper is to propose a BIM framework focusing on the issues of practicability for real-world projects. Even though previous efforts in the BIM framework have properly addressed the BIM variables, comprehensive issues in terms of BIM effectiveness need to be further developed. A thorough literature review of computer-integrated construction (CIC) and BIM was performed first in order to interpret the BIM from a global perspective. A comprehensive BIM framework consisting of three dimensions and six categories was then developed to address the variables for theory and implementation. This framework can provide a basis for evaluating promising areas and identifying driving factors for practical BIM effectiveness.
