BIM-based Code Checking for Construction Health and Safety

Integrating BIM and Safety: An Automated Rule-Based Checking System for Safety Planning and Simulation

Safety planning in the construction industry is generally done separately from the project execution planning. This separation creates difficulties for safety engineers to analyze what, when, why and where safety measures are needed for preventing accidents. Lack of information and integration of available data (safety plan, project schedule, 2D project drawings) during the planning stage often...

Enhancing Safety throughout Construction using BIM/VDC

Construction jobsites are some of the most dangerous workplaces. According to the Bureau of Labor, in 2008 1005 fatalities resulted from construction accidents, and cost industry approximately $11.5 billion annually. Many construction accidents could be avoided through better engineering and administrative controls, and improved safety training. 3D visualization and analyses are situated to pla...

Risk Identification Expert System for Metro Construction Based on Bim

This paper presents a BIM-based Risk Identification Expert System (B-RIES) for metro construction, composed of three main built-in subsystems: BIM extraction, knowledge base management, and risk identification subsystems. The engineering parameter information related to risk factors is extracted from the BIM of a specific project where the IFC standard plays a bridge role between the BIM data a...

Incremental Component-based Construction and Deadlock Checking

We study a methodology for checking incrementally deadlock-freedom of component-based systems. A system is obtained as the composition of atomic components by using interactions. Each interaction expresses strong synchronization (rendezvous) between actions of the components. We improve the heuristic verification method applied by the D-Finder tool to BIP components. The method consists in comp...
