ABSTRACT
This paper aims to propose a process for efficiently integrating and managing architectural and civil data using BIM (Building Information Modeling) and CIM (Civil Information Modeling) technologies during the design and construction phases of AEC projects.
By generating an accurate integrated model, the proposed method aids in understanding complex geometries and unknown spaces in AEC projects, thereby reducing the number of design and construction errors found on-site and improving the decision-making process.
This process is capable of integrating drawings of architectural and civil elements, geological and topographical maps, 3D survey results, and other measurement data. To verify the applicability of the proposed process, it was applied to the Gwang-myeong Cave project in Korea, successfully converting tens of GBs of 3D survey data into a BIM model of less than 100MB.
This study proposed a process integrating architectural data, including BIM models and drawings, with civil data, including CIM models, 3D survey data, and geological and topographical maps. The proposed process explains complex geometric structures, reduces design and construction errors on-site, and aids decision-making by providing accurate geometric information for AEC projects.
The proposed method was verified and its applicability confirmed through real-world project application. However, this paper did not analyze the quantitative effects of the method on the project. Therefore, future research plans to apply this method to various diverse projects to quantitatively analyze its impact on costs and schedules.
