Applicability of the building information model for seismic analysis

Abstract

Complexity of structural projects increases and consequently more and more experts are\ud involved in the design and construction process. These facts lead to the need to enhance the\ud interoperability between software tools used in the design and construction process of\ud structure. For that reason the standard IFC (IFC - Industry Foundation Classes, a basic\ud industrial classes) has been developed, which aims to standardize the presentation of buildings\ud data. In the thesis the methods for ensuring the interoperability are firstly described. In the\ud next part the applicability of information models of buildings, designed in tools for objectbased\ud parametric modelling and for seismic analysis of structures, are investigated. Based on\ud the information model of reinforced-concrete industrial building, created in architectural\ud modeling tool (Allplan), the possibility of imports of information models in software tools for\ud static and dynamic analysis of structures, was studied. In addition, the adequacy of obtained\ud analysis model (SCIA Engineer) for the purpose of modal analysis was estimated. The result\ud of modal analysis based on the building information model and that based on “hand made”\ud analysis model were compared and also validated by the two “hand made” analysis models in\ud the program ETABS. It can be concluded that the building information model, which was\ud created in Allplan, is sufficient. On the other hand the seismic analysis performed by using the\ud Scia Engineer software is not appropriate
