Optimizing building information modeling through clash detection and resolution for sustainable high-rise construction
摘要
Building information modeling (BIM) is advancing quickly, providing new potential to increase the efficacy and efficiency of the process of building and improve the application of innovative technology in buildings across the project life cycle. This study aims to improve the BIM process with the help of clash detection analysis in the pre-design phase of a G+19 structure to reduce the overall cost of construction and energy consumption of the embodied energy. The research methodology minimizes clashes and eliminates them in a complex structure that involves multiple stakeholders. The BIM model covers the architectural, structural, fire, plumbing, and electrical models subjected to clash detection analysis and resolution. The clash detection test performed on each model yielded a total of 5534 clash detections. In all clashes, one clash resolution in structural elements resolved caused the volumetric reduction from 0.124 m3 to 0.097 m3 and 0.407 m3 to 0.405 m3. The result of this study shows that with the help of effective clash detection in construction projects, we can save resources, which saves cost, time, and possible discrepancies between the project stakeholders and promotes sustainability in the construction sector.
