A review of the Digital Twin technology for fault detection in buildings

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the utilization of technology known as Digital Twin for fault detection in buildings. The strategy consisted of studying existing applications, difficulties, and possibilities that come with it. The Digital Twin technology is one of the most intriguing newly discovered technologies rapidly evolving; however, some problems still need to be addressed. First, using Digital Twins to detect building faults to prevent future failures and cutting overall costs by improving building maintenance is still ambiguous. Second, how Digital Twin technology may be applied to discover inefficiencies inside the building to optimize energy usage is not well defined. To address these issues, we reviewed 326 documents related to Digital Twin, BIM, and fault detection in civil engineering. Then out of the 326 documents, we reviewed 115 documents related to Digital Twin for fault detection in detail. This study used a qualitative assessment to uncover Digital Twin technology’s full fault detection capabilities. Our research concludes that Digital Twins need more development in areas such as scanner hardware and software, detection and prediction algorithms, modeling, and twinning programs before they will be convincing enough for fault detection and prediction. In addition, more building owners, architects, and engineers need substantial financial incentives to invest in condition monitoring before many of the strategies discussed in the reviewed papers will be used in the construction industry. For future investigation, more research needs to be devoted to exploring how machine learning may be integrated with other Digital Twin components to develop new fault detection methods.

Penganggaran Biaya Proyek Konstruksi Menggunakan Bim: Tinjauan Dengan Pendekatan Bibliometrik

“…Studi ini meneliti publikasi yang diterbitkan pada tahun 2008 hingga 2023 (berakhir pada tanggal 22 April). Pada studi ini, jenis dokumen yang dipilih berupa artikel, makalah konferensi dan reviews, agar dapat memberikan gambaran menyeluruh mengenai penelitian yang ada (Hosamo et al, 2022). Jenis dokumen yang dipilih terbatas pada dokumen yang menggunakan Bahasa Inggris karena VOSviewer hanya dapat memproses dokumen yang berbahasa Inggris (Van Eck dan Waltman, 2011).…”

“…Dalam studi ini, software VOSviewer digunakan untuk melakukan analisis bibliometrik. VOSviewer adalah aplikasi visualisasi yang membantu analisis jaringan berskala besar dengan menggunakan metode pemrosesan bahasa alami dan teknik penggalian teks (Hosamo et al, 2022). VOSviewer berguna untuk membantu menampilkan peta bibliometrik berskala besar dengan cara yang mudah ditafsirkan (Van Eck dan Waltman, 2010).…”

“…Semakin dekat letak sebuah kata kunci dengan kata kunci lain, semakin dekat korelasi antara kedua kata kunci tersebut, sebaliknya semakin jauh jaraknya, semakin jauh pula korelasi antara kedua kata kunci tersebut (Van Eck dan Waltman, 2010). Selain itu, warna dari lingkaran-lingkaran dalam jaringan mewakili kelompok kata kunci yang terkait (clustering) (Hosamo et al, 2022).…”

Mitigation of model error effects in neural network-based structural damage detection

“…Damage detection methods are commonly divided in two main groups: model-based and data-driven methods. The first group directly adopts numerical models to describe the structure and identify, localize and quantify damage (Hosamo et al, 2022). The stiffness reduction of an element or a group of elements, representing the damage severity, can be detected by repeating the model calibration for different measurement epochs (Friswell, 2008;Alves et al, 2020;Rosati et al, 2022).…”
