“…Rogers, et al [44] found that technical downtime contributed high probabilities to unsatisfied BIM implementation results. In this study, DT is measured in three aspects: the identification of DT as a risk (DT1), likelihood of DT occurrence (DT2), and consequence of DT occurrence (DT3)…”

-The advantages and disadvantages of Building Information Modelling adoption have been extensively investigated in available literature. However, the focus of previous studies has been placed mainly on BIM adoption in relatively large organizations and little effort has been made to investigate the effects that the size of the organizations may have on the BIM adoption process and its associated costs and benefits. This study aims to identify factors that affect the BIM adoption process in small and medium size construction organizations (SMOs) in terms of adoption motivations, ease of implementation and organizational competency. Quantitative and qualitative information are collected through survey and face-to-face interview of construction SMOs in Australia. Structural Equation Modelling is used to quantify the relationships between influential factors and organization's intention towards BIM utilization. The results presented in this paper aim to provide an insight into the needs and concerns of SMOs with regards to BIM adoption.

“…Ease of use is one of the main advantages of a new information technology [29]. The implementation attributes including ease of use of a new technology are critical measurements of technology adoption in construction [21,23,25]. The reason is that the construction industry is a naturally low-skilled labor based industry, and they are less likely to use complicated technologies.…”

-Digital technologies, including hand-held laser scanners and locating systems, are being increasingly introduced to the construction market and have the potential to provide real-time data to create construction information modeling (e.g. shop drawings and as-built). Focusing on the unique advantage of these technologies, this paper identifies the challenges and opportunities for implanting such technologies to create multi-dimensional information modeling based on updated data from construction objects. The results of the paper will be based on implementation of a proposed framework to assist in semi-automated conversion of the raw 3D point clouds from advanced scanners into a compact, semantically rich model aiding in updating construction drawings and developing as-built models. A couple of advanced laser scanners have been deployed within an educational building and have scanned a floor as a sample in order to collect the data. In addition, further data was collected using novel positioning systems, to generate updated data from objectives and labor working in the sample area. The findings show that mobile laser scanners and the novel locating system are efficient tools for updating data to assist construction and maintenance managers to revise the drawings and use updated multi-dimensional models, and are about 50% less expensive than the current technologies. It was found that the practical framework -using mobile laser scanners -enables construction managers to acquire updated information from complex objects, using a real-time communication system. The study provides a step towards understanding the possibility of implementing advanced technologies and internet-of things in construction, and assisting in developing a shop drawing revision modelling for construction purposes.

“…In order to facilitate the uptake of these technologies, future studies should develop new applications for monitoring buildings. The technology adoption closely depends on the compatibility and interoperability of numerical analysis programs with building information modelling, usefulness of the new technologies, vendor support, and applicability of these technologies [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. As mentioned, a building information model (BIM) of the Sydney Opera house was created based on as-built information for the management of on-going maintenance works on the site.…”

This paper presents a preliminary finite element model in Strand7 software to analyse creep and shrinkage effects on the prestressed concrete ribs of the Sydney Opera House as remarkable heritage. A linear static analysis was performed to investigate the instantaneous impacts of dead and wind loads on the complex concrete structure which was completed in 1973. A quasistatic analysis was performed to predict the effects of creep and shrinkage due to dead load on the structure in 2050 to discern its longevity. In 2050, the Sydney Opera House is expected to experience 0.090% element strain due to creep and shrinkage and therefore suffer prestress losses of 32.59 kN per strand. However, given that the current time after prestress loading is approximately 50 years, the majority of creep and shrinkage effects have already taken place with 0.088% strain and 32.12 kN of prestress losses. The analysis concludes that very minor structural impacts are expected over the next 30 years due to creep and shrinkage, suggesting a change in conservation focus from large structural concerns to inspection and maintenance of minor issues of surface cracking and water ingress. The analysis is the first step in the application of more complex finite element modelling of the structure with the integration of complex building information models. The main motivation to undertake the current numerical simulation is to determine a cost-effective solution when it comes to the long-term time-dependent analysis. The paper also will suggest future directions for monitoring unique historical buildings, including ‘digital twin’.
