On the Use of HBIM for the Analysis of Historical Constructions: Technical and Semantic Interoperability for Different Aspects of the Structural Assessment
摘要
The rehabilitation of historical buildings has always had to deal with an innumerable amount of data, managed by stakeholders with different fields of expertise. Hence, it is characterized by long processes with high risk of losing information or repeating analyses and tests. Building Information Modelling (BIM) offers the potential to streamline these workflows and enhance the efficiency of the team. However, the adoption of BIM in the construction industry has been challenging, and it is particularly difficult to apply it to historical buildings. This book chapter outlines the major challenges in the implementation of BIM and examines the efforts being made by the scientific community to tailor this methodology to the unique needs of historical buildings, highlighting the benefits of using it. It will then discuss the efforts that have been undertaken to address these challenges and present the various approaches being used to more accurately represent heritage objects. Finally, examples will be provided of the various uses of Heritage BIM models, with a focus on the structural assessment of historical buildings.
