Structure must be capable of handling all applied loads

With the advent of technology, great changes have occurred in the method of designing structures. Structures can now be designed in better way with the support of software solutions such as Revit Structure and Tekla. What remains the fundamental thing which should be considered by structural engineers and Building Information Modeling technicians before designing structural framework of the building? Well, the strength of the structure to withstand load, remains the paramount concern of design and construction professionals when the structure is designed. 

Structural design process demands the analysis and evaluation of durability and stability of structural framework before their actual construction. The main intension behind the execution of structural design and analysis services is to develop durable structural frameworks which can resist all kinds of possible loads without affecting the health of the building. The structure should be designed in such as way that it can resist all applied loads throughout its life. In other words the main reason behind the development of structure is that it can effectively support both dead and live loads. 

If the design development team fails to create the structural design as per the specifications, there are umpteen chances for structural failure. There are enormous chances that a structure which is not developed with that much of attention and seriousness, can fail to withstand the load that comes from cyclones, earthquakes, snow fall and from its own components etc. 

Design and construction professionals have to perform all the necessary steps which form a part of structural design process for the development of highly durable structures. Structural drafting, detailing, modeling and structural analysis services should be performed with high accuracy during design development stage. 

Structural analysis is the last step in structural design process which helps in determining the quality of the design. During structural analysis, structural engineers have to thoroughly review the design against loads and identify potential issues with the design. If the design is developed according to specifications, it is immediately validated by structural engineers, which means it can be used in actual construction.

An Introduction of 4D BIM Techniques

Image
Overview Construction scheduling in project management is about recording project benchmarks, outputs, start and end date of a predetermined building project. 4D BIM that caters to Construction Scheduling is also known as Construction sequencing. It includes project drafting and project extraction arrangement for every project management. Construction Scheduling is vital for the construction as labor force, equipment and other related activities require effective organizing and scheduling of construction activities. It helps in knowing the time to accomplish the project and streamline the cost estimation factor for all the construction professionals. Construction scheduling techniques of projects Several techniques help the contractor to keep construction scheduling of the project. Aiding in project requirement assessment and overcome challenges of the project schedule. Bar Charts: It is considered as one of the most common technique to generate construction schedul...

BIM Execution Plan and Its Importance for Construction Companies

Image
Overview The advent of BIM Modeling into the construction industry has prevailed the implementation of BIM Execution Plan to enhance the right flow of work to execute the project successfully. It can be analysis and execution during various phases of the project. What is BIM Execution Plan? BIM Execution Plan is a complex and detailed document that helps the project team to identify and execute the role of BIM in various phases of construction in the project. BEP needs to be accurate to make the teams keep on track by focusing on details, saving on time and reduces rework. BEP is primarily used when there is a higher level of complexity and project size is huge. It lays an overall plan with details as to how the process will be executed. It is the process of creating a digital model of building or structures to aid collaboration among people involved in the project. BEP Comprises of type of information as followed: •     How to create data in BIM fil...

BIM modeling services: Which software solutions can be used for developing 3D parametric models?

Building Information Modeling technology is closely related to the development of 3D parametric models for architecture, structure and MEP, which are effectively packed with all the essential information pertaining to design and construction. Building Information Modeling services have become the cardinal requirement for architects and engineers when it comes to the flawless execution of building projects.  Building Information Modeling services are not only important for design and construction professionals but also for building owners, construction managers and fabricators etc.  BIM is the process of developing the entire building in virtual world through high-end Building Information Modeling applications like Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP. All these BIM applications are used for developing the entire building in 3D. Actually the design of every building discipline is separately represented through 3D parametric models which are generat...
