Keyphrases analysis of BIM standards through occurrence of most common BIM uses

The 8th PSU-UNS International Conference on Engineering and Technology (ICET-2017), Novi Sad, Serbia, June 8-10, 2017 University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences Abstract: Building Information Modeling (BIM) does not represent only the virtual model of the facility but a comperhensive approach consisting of technology, processes, stakeholders' behavior and accompanying standards.Given the fast evolution of BIM, this paper is analysing trends of development of BIM standards throughout the years by applying the keyphrases analysis method, for some of the most common BIM uses and recognizable phrases in BIM industry

Digital Twins and Road Construction Using Secondary Raw Materials

Secondary raw materials (SRMs) tend to be a valuable replacement for finite virgin materials especially since construction works (i.e., building and civil engineering work such as road construction) require vast quantities of raw materials. Using SRM originating from recycling a broad range of inorganic waste materials (e.g., mining waste, different industrial wastes, construction, and demolition waste) has been recognized as a promising, generally more cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to the exploitation of natural resources. Despite the benefits of using SRM, several challenges need to be addressed before using SRM even more. One of them is the long-term durability and little-known response of construction works built using such alternative materials. In this paper, we present the activities to establish a fully functioning digital twin (DT) of a road constructed using SRM. The first part of the paper is devoted to the theoretical justification of efforts and ways of establishing the monitoring systems, followed by a DT case study where an integrated data environment synthesizing a Building Information Model and monitored data is presented. Although the paper builds upon a small scale, the case study is methodologically designed to allow parallels to be drawn with much larger construction projects
