BIM for Reinforced Concrete – From Design to Detailing in One Model

BIM & Beam

This is the third blog post in a series that discusses the advantages of working on concrete projects in a BIM process for structural engineers. Segmentation is dictated by engineering, architectural, or fabrication requirements, and its reinforcement is determined by the structural engineer.

Difference Between Tied Column and Spiral Column | What Is Spiral Column | What Is Tied Column |

CivilJungle

It is always recommended by the structural engineers to construct the spiral reinforcement columns in the earthquake zones. The main objective is to carry out the experiments and mathematical modelling on RCC beams and columns having main spiral reinforcement. Difference Between Tied Column and Spiral Column.

BIM Generic Content – UK

Building Information Management

For example, the detailed modelling of a toilet flush lever could include many facets and extrusions, and at the early stages of design generic objects have little need for very high levels of detail. Aside from the dimensions of the objects themselves we have further considered their relationship to other objects and zones of clearance.
