  1. BIM Helps Structural Engineers To Construct Earthquake Resilient Buildings Created By Silicon Engineering Consultants Limited Wellington E-mail : info@siliconec.co.nz

  2. It would be the only half-witted decision of general contractors to put profits on priority during infrastructure development and civilians’ safety, secondary, against natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, blizzards etc. To construct disaster-resilient buildings and infrastructure; structural engineers, civil engineers, steel and rebar detailers keep themselves updated with constantly evolving earthquake engineering and sciences of seismic natural occurrences. • Researchers have designed fibre-reinforced concrete beams, base isolated buildings and what not.

  3. BIM technology holds all the four aces to turn the game of infrastructure development in favour of structural and civil engineers. • By leveraging BIM technology, proportionately, structural engineers can reach the zenith of building and infrastructure development. BIM along with a finessed 3D model of infrastructure and/or custom API programming have the capability to conduct fortification analysis and seismic analysis of the structure. Seismic retrofitting, design coordination and building codes are some of the sectors where BIM plays protagonist with its imperative virtual design and construction tools.

  4. With continuous population explosion, the lateral expansion of buildings has in fact shifted to vertical rise. Skyscrapers and high-rises have become an increasing necessity of urban infrastructure development along with flyovers, bridges and underground tubes. • Building Information Modeling incorporates early seismic needs, to eliminate design modification once the construction starts. Information rich intelligent BIM ready 3D models of infrastructure designs are critical when complying with the seismic specification.

  5. Compliance to designs and building codes in BIM environment minimizes seismic effect damages

  6. Regulations call for a two-inch space between ducts to prevent damages in the earthquake and its inclusion in 3D models is an example of how neatly BIM ensures correctness of designs and compliance to codes. • Fundamentally, with BIM, any hanger, brace etc. can be modelled; designs of sleeves, decks, roofs, beams, columns etc. can also be validated using BIM. Alongside, by developing more custom plugins and tools that offer access to their APIs, tasks are automated and code compliance checking is streamlined.

  7. Retrofitting of Earthquake Affected Infrastructure

  8. Having said this, BIM plays a significant role while working on retrofitting of earthquake affected infrastructure and buildings. It captures the reality of the as built condition of any structure with help of point cloud information and converting it to 3D BIM models or photogrammetry. • Upon modelling and analysis of this captured information in BIM structural software such as Autodesk Revit Structure, it shows the displacement under seismic load when virtually simulated.
