Building information modeling and artificial intelligence: Advanced technologies for the digitalisation of seismic damage in existing buildings

Abstract

This research, which is based on the digital technologies building information modeling (BIM) and artificial intelligence, describes achievements in the field of detecting, assessing, and digitalising damage in existing buildings. The purpose of the study is to highlight the potential and current benefits of combining structural‐assessment methods with the automatic digitisation of hazard‐induced damage in affected buildings. To this end, the aforementioned technologies are employed in the form of an image‐based recognition‐BIM classification technique applied to on‐site visual‐damage data. By extending the methodology to existing masonry and concrete buildings, the results obtained open up new opportunities for speeding up the process of assessing, designing, and managing seismic repair/retrofit interventions using image data acquired in the manner described.

Retracted: A comparative study on predicting the rapid chloride permeability of self‐compacting concrete using meta‐heuristic algorithm and artificial intelligence techniques

“…The use of artificial intelligence in the field of civil engineering 33–44 today more than ever is being considered 45 . The application of artificial intelligence considerably reduces the cost and time of experimental studies, provided that there is sufficient laboratory data in this area 46 .…”

“…Most studies showed that in addition to the concentration of chloride ions, increasing the temperature also significantly reduces the chloride ions penetration resistance.

Integrating UAV and BIM for automated visual building inspection: a systematic review and conceptual framework

“…As a 3D model containing lifecycle building information, BIM has also been widely used for managing inspection data. There are mainly three methods: 1) linking inspection data to BIM; 2) voxel BIM for building visual inspection (31) Inspection data management (23) Inspection data collection and management (1)…”

Most of the current efforts (19 out of 23 articles) directly linked the inspection data to BIM, such as (1) linking images and corresponding damage information to BIM components [29]; (2) inserting inspection reports into BIM [30]; (3) colouring components in BIM to represent the damage level [31]. The component condition rating was further achieved based on the documented damage information by fuzzy logic [32] and pre-defined rules [33].…”

Seismic Analysis and Damage Evaluation of RC Frame Structures Based on BIM Platform

“…Reem et al [27] developed a novel method for leveraging laser scanning technology to generate a BIM model of earthquake loss based on existing BIM models. Musella et al [28] applied BIM and artificial intelligence technology to the seismic damage evaluation of existing buildings, in which the graphic recognition and classification technology was applied to obtain the building visual damage data. e method provided a new way for evaluating, designing, and managing the seismic repair process of existing buildings.…”
