Many studies on BIM-based design, construction and operation have already been conducted on roads, railways, etc., but BIM research in the ports and harbors is still lacking. This research develops BIM Library and Technical contents focused on practical usability of ports and harbors infrastructure. We have developed technical content by applying various User Interfaces and workflows, considering the characteristics of ports and harbors design. In order to examine the practical utility of the developed library and contents, we tried modeling the breakwater using these. As a result, we confirmed that collaboration of BIM library and technical contents could significantly improve the productivity of BIM design by increasing library usage and automating repetitive tasks.

In the current 2D-based design, design reliability is lowered due to interference and inconsistency between plans, errors in drawings and quantities, etc. At the time of transition to BIM-based 3D design, it is necessary to expand the reliability and usability of BIM by eliminating these errors from the design stage through securing the quality of the BIM digital model. Therefore, in the railway infrastructure design stage, the quality management process and standards of the BIM digital model were defined and quality management index were developed. Based on the rule extracted from the quality management index, a pilot quality management was conducted in connection with the commercial Model-Checker rule, problems and improvement plans were derived, and a rule-based automated quality management plan was prepared.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been adopted in variety domain of construction industry. In this circumstances, interest of BIM model quality has been increased. In many countries, automated building code checking system by Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) has been developed and studied to use web based building permission systems. IFC is international standard of BIM format. However, the data structure of IFC does not include all of objects and properties about national building codes. In this paper, we developed the information specification between IFC data structure and national building code to increase interoperability. First, we drew the criteria from literature review to analyze the building code. And then, we analyzed building code and sorted objects and properties for automated building code checking. After that we made mapping table between the sorted data and IFC specification. Using the mapping table, we developed pre-specification about building codes information that does not exist in IFC specification. And the defined information can be used to develop the BIM modeling guide and national building permission system. The pre-specification support increasing the interoperability between user and automated building code checking system. Increasing thee interoperability makes improvement accuracy and reliability about result of automated building code checking.

IFC based open BIM has internationally developed as a solution for interoperability problem among different software applications. Despite much interest and effort, the open BIM technologies are rarely introduced to the construction industry and need more technical development for a practical application as well. This research aims to develop automated code checking modules for quality assurance process of BIM data. The research have analyzed domestic regulations focusing on super-tall buildings and developed open BIM-based code checking modules for the evacuation regulations. The modules are able to validate evacuation regulations such as installation of emergency elevator and fire safety zone. The authors expect to improve the process of BIM quality assurance and enhance the quality of BIM data by this research on automated checking system.

When Building Information Modeling (BIM) was introduced at the early stage, it was only utilized as a three-dimensional visualization tool. Nowadays, however, BIM is being studied for increasing design productivity and managing enormous information on building life cycle. One of the representative research is developing 'common prototype BIM libraries'. BIM data made of common prototype libraries should be utilized in various ways, quantity takeoff, code checking, energy analysis and so on. However, common prototype BIM libraries are not enough to estimate accurate cost. For example, composite wall libraries should be divided into several single objects, wall structure and finishes, for the quantity takeoff and construction cost calculation. In this paper, we are suggesting an automated division algorithm of composite wall and developing a system prototype for it. This study is expected to reduce extra modeling work and contribute to fast and accurate cost calculation in the construction.

In this research, the automated system for 3D modeling and stability evaluation of caisson was developed. It is possible to build a BIM model while examining the stability of the structures to improve the practical use of BIM technology. This study analyzed industry cases and guidelines for caisson stability evaluation and BIM-based modeling. As a result, the data for calculating the stability evaluation of caisson as well as the modeling parameters were derived. In particular, the automated system for 3D modeling, which reflects more than 30 parameters, allows for BIM models for various types of the caisson, such as open-cell caisson, open-cell caisson with uneven, slit caisson, slit caisson with uneven, and curved caisson. The study tested the proposed system using case studies and found that it helps not only to automate the BIM model with various caisson types as parameters but also to make partial shape changes accessible. The study also confirmed that the stability evaluation can be quickly carried out with shapes changed. Finally, the study results suggest that the proposed method should complete the task seven times as fast as the conventional work method.

The need for adopting automation technologies to improve inefficiencies in interior finishing modeling work is increasing during the Building Information Modeling (BIM) design stage. As a result, the use of visual programming languages (VPL) for practical applications is growing. However, undefined or incorrect space designations in BIM models can hinder the development of automated finishing modeling processes, resulting in erroneous corrections and rework. To address this challenge, this study first developed a rule-based automated interior finishing detailing module for floors, walls, and ceilings. In addition, an automated space integrity checking module with 86.69% ACC using the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) model was developed. These modules were integrated into a design automation module for interior finishing, which was then verified for practical utility. The results showed that the automation module reduced the time required for modeling and integrity checking by 97.6% compared to manual work, confirming its utility in assisting BIM model development for interior finishing works.

This paper aims to classify objects and their properties represented in Korea Building Act sentences for applying to BIM-enabled automated code compliance checking task. In order to conduct automated code compliance checking, it is necessary to develop translation process of converting the building act sentences into computer-executable forms. However, since Korea building act sentences are written in natural language, some of requirements are ambiguous to translate explicitly. In this regard, the building act sentences regarding building permit requirements are analyzed focusing on the regulation-specific objects and related properties representation from noun phrases within the scope of this paper. From 1977 building act sentences and attached reference regulations, 1200 regulation-specific objects and about 220 related properties are extracted and classified. In the application for the classification, object-property database is implemented and some of application using the database and the regulation-specific classification is suggested to support to generate rule set written in computable codes.

As building information modeling (BIM) is expanding its influence in various fields of architecture, engineering, construction and facility management (AEC-FM) industry, BIM-based automated code compliance checking has become possible prospects. For the automated code compliance checking, requirements in building code need to be processed into explicit representation that enables automated reasoning. This paper aims to develop high-level methods that translate verb phrases into explicit representation. The high-level methods represent conditions, properties, and related actions of the building objects and clarify the core content of the constraints. The authors analyze building permit requirements in Korea Building Code and establish a standardized process of deriving the high-level methods. As a result, 60 kinds of the high-level methods were derived. In addition, method classification, analysis, and application are introduced. This study will contribute to the representation of explicit building code sentences and establishment of the automated building permit system of Korea.
