“…For the validation of the evaluation instrument applied, it is necessary to ensure its understanding and whether its design is self-explanatory (Forcael et al, 2022). For the present study, eminent practitioners and researchers reviewed the survey and made relevant comments to improve its comprehensibility, repeating the process until the survey was fully refined.…”

The purpose of this research was to find the barriers that hinder the implementation of BIM in bridge projects (BrIM). This was done by a bibliographic analysis and the application of an evaluation tool to a case study, corresponding to a Chilean road project with an important number of bridges. Based on the literature, twenty-three barriers were found, which were then validated through the application of the survey to the case study, resulting the main barriers: "Interoperability problems between different BIM software", and "Differences between BIM for buildings and BIM for bridges". Then, a risk analysis was run, concluding that the barriers in bridge projects cause high levels of impact when implementing BIM. Thus, this research may help project and engineering managers to have a first approximation to the most recurring barriers in BrIM and how to rank them according to their impact. Finally, for future research, the findings of this study can be extended to other complex projects -such as bridges-but with different levels of uncertainty, that allow finding new barriers or confirm those found here.

“…Ultimately, the literature review seems to suggest poor IR performance for both IFC and Uniclass-2015 compliant models. (Interestingly, researchers [41] have attempted to characterize and classify BIM users).…”

As Building Information Modeling (BIM) models are getting bigger, with more information linked to geometrical 3D models, a dedicated BIM search engine is important. A BIM search engine was developed to examine the value of exploiting a 3D object’s topological relationships to other 3D objects when assessing that object’s relevance to a query. The impacts of two information standards, the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and Uniclass-2015, on information retrieval (IR) performance were also measured. The 3DIR Autodesk Revit toolset was used on a structural model of a 16-story building from an industry partner. The retrieval performance measures of Precision and Recall did not clearly highlight the benefit, although the increased relevance values of those objects deemed by experts to be relevant demonstrates the promise of such contextual measures. The effect of shifting from the native Revit file format to various standards was tested: IR performance was poor with the Uniclass-2015 dataset and was comparable to the Revit native model with the IFC model. Although not shown conclusively to improve retrieval performance, the contextual relevance measures presented in this paper are promising and constitute a significant original contribution. Future research is needed to fine-tune these measures and fully realize their potential.

“…Forcael E et al adopted the method of defining variables based on a literature review to develop a model representing BIM users based on multiple parameters. The developed model could analyze the level of BIM users according to the defined parameters [13]. Li H, Zhang J, Chang S, et al developed mapping algorithms that can connect BIM and analytical models.…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital tool that can be used to create three-dimensional models of components. BIM technology, with its parameterized modeling scheme, can effectively address design changes. The use of BIM technology in prefabricated shear wall structures can significantly enhance component design accuracy and production efficiency. The Tekla software offers significant advantages in BIM deepening design. By utilizing the C# language, secondary development of the Tekla software, and the development of an intelligent modeling program for the edge components of prefabricated shear wall structures, the deepening design efficiency of such structures can be improved. The creation of BIM models is a crucial step in program development. Different types of reinforcements require various modeling methods, which, when combined with the design specifications of concrete structures, can be compiled to create the fine reinforcement model. This allows for the automatic creation of three-dimensional reinforcement models: “linear-shaped,” “T-shaped,” and “L-shaped” joints of the edge member. The BIM visualization characteristics can then display the three-dimensional model of the steel bar of the edge member in the cast-in-place area, deriving the engineering quantity of the steel bar for the production and construction of the prefabricated members. The modeling program’s development concept can serve as a reference for similar engineering applications, promoting the intelligent development of prefabricated building design and enhancing the efficiency of design and construction.
