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.

BIM Clash Detection: A Quick Guide 

Autodesk Construction Cloud

These conflicts, or “clashes,” arise when different design components, such as structural elements, HVAC systems, or electrical conduits, intersect or interfere with the buffer zone of another object. Architects, MEP engineers, and structural engineers often independently create models during the design process.

EXPOSURE CONDITIONS AFFECTING DURABILITY OF CONCRETE

The Constructor

5 Extreme Concrete in contact with or buried under aggressive sub-soil / ground water, surface of members in tidal zone, members in direct contact with liquid / solid aggressive chemicals. No Environment Exposure Conditions 1 Mild Concrete surfaces protected against weather or aggressive conditions, except those situated in coastal area.

Revit 2017 - New Features and Enhancements

Revit OpEd

A schedule can be Filtered by a global parameter to find all elements that have a global parameter association or are missing that association. Combine Parameters (in Schedules) - This is the often requested ability to concatenate parameters values into a single column. has finally been tackled. VERY interesting!

REPAIR OF POST CONCRETING DEFECTS IN STRUCTURES

The Constructor

A small degree of cracking is quite common in most concrete structures, and can sometimes be ignored depending on how prevalent they are. Since the main function of concrete in the cover zone is to protect the steel reinforcement from corrosion, cracks in floor slabs can generally be filled with a cement paste. Anyway good job.

BIM Generic Content – UK

Building Information Management

Aside from the dimensions of the objects themselves we have further considered their relationship to other objects and zones of clearance. However, when assembled to make an accessible WC package, we have considered further dimensional information such as wheelchair turning circles, clearance zone and tolerances. COBie UK 2012.

However, as an example, of where "electronic" is taking over for physical last year when I was the project architect and I had to send "sketches" to our structural engineer, what did I do?
