A BIM-Based Method for Structural Stability Assessment and Emergency Repairs of Large-Panel Buildings Damaged by Military Actions and Explosions: Evidence from Ukraine

Abstract

The article presents the results of analysis and perspectives for the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for the selection of effective organizational, technological, and technical solutions in the elimination of the emergency destruction of large-panel buildings as a result of military actions. It has been established that information–mathematical modeling and the usage of a database on typical destructions can improve the work efficiency and safety of the liquidation of emergency destructions of buildings. Moreover, it enables the scaling and identification of the optimal option of emergency stabilization, as well as organizational, technological, and technical actions that have to be urgently taken to prevent the loss of life or collapse of large-panel buildings after massive damage due to shelling and other military actions. Information–mathematical modeling is explored as the key enabler of assessment and decision-making, while typically there is limited access to the survey object and a lack of information about its condition. The case of a large-panel building in Ukraine damaged as a result of a gas explosion was used for the development of the information–mathematical model and for demonstrating the proposed approach. In post-war times, the use of the presented methodology will allow a rapid assessment of the technical condition of buildings and stabilization strategy selection, including the periodicity of monitoring needs and times of repairs.

The Diagnostics of the Condition and Management of Large-Panel Buildings Using Point Clouds and Building Information Modelling (BIM)

“…In the case of steel structures, BIM technology is also used in the fabrication phase, where 3D information can be transformed into data retrieved by the machines used to process the components [50]. BIM information technologies are also finding applications in relatively unusual areas, for example, to eliminate damage to large-panel buildings caused by warfare [51].…”

“…[5]. Petro Hryhorovskyi et al studied the structural stability assessment and emergency repair method of large buildings using BIM technology by taking a Ukrainian building as an example [6]. Carlo Biagini et al studied the application of BIM technology combined with point cloud in the process of renovation and restoration of historical architectural heritage by taking the church of Nom De Maria as an example [7].…”

Development of Building Information Models of the Process of Remote Surveying of Emergency Buildings Using Uavs

“…Інформаційна модель повинна поєднувати дані різних типів і форматів. Як ядро інформаційної моделі ефективно використовують геометричну модель, яка семантично пов'язує інформацію про процеси, що відбуваються в середині об'єкта, і дії над об'єктом [7,8]. Геометричну модель спочатку будують як об'єктноорієнтовану параметричну 3D-модель.…”

“…Залежно від ступеня пошкодження конструкції можуть бути аварійними, непридатними до відновлення, придатними до відновлення з необхідністю їх демонтажу або без демонтажу [4,7]. Дефекти, що виникають у наслідок позапроєктних впливів на будівлю або споруду, є багатоплановими, і їх перелік відкритий до доповнення.…”
