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.

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.

Current and Future Use of BIM – 2013 – UK

Building Information Management

A designer’s primary interest is for example the spatial structure, a structural engineer’s primary interest is the load bearing structure, while an energy engineer is interested in climate zones. The first documented use of the term BIM can be dated back to 1992 (van Nederveen & Tolman).

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.
