Abstract

This study aims to simplify the rebar quantity estimation process during the detailed design stage of buildings by addressing identified issues in the existing rebar quantity estimation process and establishing a BIM-based simplification method. To validate the applicability of the proposed method, it was applied to a case study of 'K' High School, with the results compared to rebar quantities from shop drawings to assess usability in real projects. It showed an error rate of 1.4% for SHD22S and 2.63% for HD10 among the types of rebar used in the case model. SHD22S, used as the main rebar in the columns, exhibited this error due to differences in the calculation method for splice and anchorage lengths. HD10, used as stirrup rebar in the columns, showed errors due to the omission of hook length considerations in the simplified estimation formula. Although these discrepancies resulted in cumulative errors of 10 to 20 meters, the error rates of 1.4% and 2.63% respectively fall within the generally accepted rebar overage rate of 5%, suggesting that this method is sufficiently accurate for quantity estimation during the detailed design stage. This study presents a method for efficiently estimating rebar quantities based on BIM during the detailed design stage. While traditional 2D quantity estimation and BIM-based methods often suffer from inefficiencies due to repetitive tasks and high modeling complexity, the proposed method assumes BIM models at LOD200, which are less complex and automate most of the structural information required for rebar quantity estimation, thereby reducing repetitive tasks. However, to further minimize errors, especially those related to hook and anchorage length calculations, additional research is needed to refine the estimation process and expand its applicability to the entire building's rebar quantity estimation.
