The Relationship between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Precast Concrete Structures
Main Article Content
Abstract
Due to the fact that a major part of the financial resources of each country is spent in the construction industry of that country, the effectiveness of governments from this industry, especially in developing countries, is very high. In recent years, it has been noticed in the world. Among the advantages of using the prefabricated industry, we can mention the production of parts in a short period of time, low cost and high quality. Currently, many projects undergo such changes that it is necessary to reduce the negative effects imposed on projects by using management techniques and tactics as well as the use of modern technologies. Among the negative effects imposed, we can mention things such as capital wastage (increase in cost), increase in construction time, and at the same time decrease in quality. At the same time, all construction management activities, based on the contract documents, depend on the two categories of plans and project specifications. In the traditional methods of construction management, various executive plans such as structural, architectural and facility plans are prepared separately but in coordination with each other. These maps are two-dimensional and even if three-dimensional maps are prepared from them, the system will not be able to identify mistakes, interferences and changes. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between building information modeling and precast concrete structures and the implementation of that system in precast concrete structures.
