Collection of accurate, complete, and reliable field data is not only essential for active management construction projects involving various tasks, such as material tracking, progress monitoring, quality assurance, but also facility infrastructure during the service lives facilities systems. Limitations current manual collection approaches in terms speed, completeness, accuracy render these ineffective decision support highly dynamic environments, operations. Hence, a need exists to...
Documenting as-is conditions of buildings using 3D laser scanning and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is being adopted as a practice for enhancing effective management facilities. Many service providers generate BIMs based on laser-scanned data. It necessary to conduct timely comprehensive assessments the quality data BIM generated from before them making decisions about This paper presents QA requirements civil engineers demonstrates that required information can be derived...
Three dimensional (3D) imaging sensors, such as laser scanners, are being used to create building information models (BIMs) of the as-is conditions buildings and other facilities. Quality assurance (QA) needs be conducted ensure that accurately depict conditions. We propose a new approach for QA analyzes patterns in raw 3D data compares with BIM geometry identify potential errors model. This "deviation analysis" enables users analyze regions significant differences between reconstructed...
Engineering analysis to quantify the effects of earthquake forces on structural strength components requires determining damage mode and severity components. The computations visual assessments, which are information intensive, potentially error-prone, slow. This study develops a building-information-modeling (BIM) based approach support engineering reinforced concrete structures. In proposed approach, is represented along with geometric, topological, information. Transformation reasoning...

Characterization of Laser Scanners for Detecting Cracks Post-Earthquake Damage Inspection Engin Burak Anil, Burcu Akinci, James H. Garrett, Ozgur Kurc Pages 313-320 (2013 Proceedings the 30th ISARC, Montréal, Canada, ISBN 978-1-62993-294-1, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: Objective, accurate, and fast assessment damage to buildings after an earthquake is crucial timely remediation material losses safety occupants buildings. scanners are promising sensors collecting geometrical data regarding...
The design and detailing of reinforced concrete frames is a complex process that requires intensive real-time information exchange between various tasks. monolithic behavior concrete, differences in the geometric representation structural members during analysis stages, code requirements throughout add new dimensions to problem. Additionally, especially large projects, structures are designed detailed by several engineers simultaneously. These complexities can be resolved overall quality...
Current practice of post-earthquake damage assessment is based on visual inspections by experts. Research has shown that inspection and reports produced as a result can be subjective, incomplete, vary in terms the level detail thoroughness. Critical data provides information about captured using laser scanners processed for more objective information-driven practice. In addition to information, severity identification process requires reasoning structural behavior topology. Building...
Purpose When a laser scan is performed and no prior information available about the building, standard sections of components need to be identified from point cloud data in order generate informative as-is building models (BIMs). Currently, steel used at site are not automatically data. Various issues related data, challenge automation, such as occlusions, missing points, angle incidence, imprecision measurements on Method The research described this paper relates manual determination beam...
