Architectural design work depends on information made from earlier phases such as feasibility study, planning, and conceptual design. This design guideline information includes design objectives, requirements, and constraints made by decision-making, and has great influence on various works of latter phases of design process. Despite of this cognition, however, the lack of design guideline information management still remains as one among the critical issues in design area. Design tools with design guideline information do not also address the issue of interoperability throughout the life-cycle of buildings. The purpose of this research is to propose a method for design guideline information management by using the IFC technology and IFC Property set (Pset) extension mechanism. The method comprises defining and mapping the practically used design guideline items and extensible IFC data model, and includes the management of relationships that exist between design guideline information and design model in the IFC data model.

In this paper we propose a framework for an Object Relational IFC Server (OR-IFC Server). Enormous amounts of information are generated in each project. Today, many BIM systems are developed by various CAD software vendors. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) developed by International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) is an open standard data model for exchanging data between the various BIM tools. The IFC provides a foundation for exchanging and sharing of information directly between software applications and define a shared building project model. The IFC model server is a database management system that can keep track of transactions, modifications, and deletions. It plays a role as an information hub for storing and sharing information between various parties involved in construction projects. Users can communicate with each other via the internet and utilize functions implemented in the model server such as partial data import/export, file merge, version control, etc. IFC model servers using relational database systems have been developed. However, they suffered from slow performance and long transaction time due to a complex mapping process between the IFC structure and a relational-database structure because the IFC model schema is defined in the EXPRESS language which is object-favored language. In order to simplify the mapping process, we developed a set of rules to map the IFC model to an object-relational database (ORDB). Once the database has been configured, only those pieces of information that are required for a specific information-exchange scenario are extracted using the pre-defined information delivery manual (IDM). Therefore, file sizes will be reduced when exchanging data, meaning that files can now be effectively exchanged and shared. In this study, the framework of the IFC server using ORDB and IDM and the method to develop it will be examined.

건설산업은 기획단계에서 설계, 시공, 유지관리 및 철거단계에 이르기까지 다양한 특성을 가진 프로세스로 구성되어지며, 각 프로세스에는 다양한 업무주체가 참여하고 있다. 최근 건축이 복잡화, 다양화 되어감에 따라 각각의 업무주체들 협업과정상에서 생성되는 다양한 건설정보의 교환표준화에 대한 연구가 활발히 논의되고 있다. 그러나 국제데이터교환 표준인 IFC에 관한 국내 연구로는 IFC의 2D기반확장에 관한 연구, 3D, 4D에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 기존 연구에서는 이론적인 방향 제시 및 모델제시에 그치고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 3D CAD Model을 이용하여 국제 건설데이터 교환표준인 IFC의 호환성을 테스트하고, IFC를 이용한 호환성 확보의 문제점을 도출하고자 한다.

Especially for resolving BIM data compatibility issue, as one of recently raised BIM technology issues, has also been improved by using open BIM, representatively using IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format. As shown in many case studies, usefulness of BIM technology is increasing day by day, and the IFC-based open BIM technology is essential in recent AEC projects where the productive collaboration is of importance. One of current problems in actual projects is that there is a conflict between conventional ways and newly developed BIM ways. Using both conventional and new technologies leads construction workers to having more work loads, consequently the efficiency and productivity of on-site workers have been decreased. Thus, it is strongly necessary to facilitate 3D BIM models to extract and generate 2D precision drawings in automation, especially using open BIM technologies. Some native BIM authoring tools have limitations in there automatic generation of 2D drawings, and there is no standardized mechanism to generate 2D drawings from heterogeneous applications. For this reason, this paper aims to develop an automated stand-alone program to generate 2D drawings in automation using IFC file, totally independent from various BIM authoring tools. By using the application described in this paper, any type of general drawings such as plan, section and elevation can be extracted without additional efforts. The development approach described in this paper, based on the open BIM technologies, has a strong impact to the current process especially in the perspective of enhancing productivity when we need to find out a trade-off in-between conventional and new approaches.

The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) provides standardized product models for the building construction domain. However, the current IFC schema has limited representation for infrastructure. Several studies have examined the data schema for road and highway modeling, but not in a sufficiently comprehensive and robust manner to facilitate the overall integrated project delivery of road projects. Several discussions have focused on slope engineering for road projects, but no solution has been provided regarding the formalized parametric modeling up to now. Iterative design, analysis, and modification are observed during the process of slope design for road projects. The practitioners need to carry out the stability analysis to consider different road design alternatives, including horizontal, vertical, and cross-section designs. The procedure is neither formalized nor automated. Thus, there is a need to develop the formal representation of the product and process of slope analysis for road design. The objective of this research is to develop a formal representation (i.e., an IFC extension data schema) for slope analysis. It consists of comprehensive information required for slope analysis in a structured manner. The deliverable of this study contributes to both the formal representation of infrastructure development and, further, the automated process of slope design for road projects.

거대해지고 복잡해진 건설프로젝트에서 건설 생애주기 동안 필요한 모든 정보를 효과적으로 관리하기 위한 BIM에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. BIM을 이용한 협업에서 정보의 교환과 공유는 이윤을 극대화할 수 있는 중요한 요소이다. IAI에서는 건설프로젝트의 모든 참여자가 사용할 수 있는 표준 파일포맷으로 STEP기반의 IFC모델을 제시하고 있고 현재 $2{\times}3$버젼이 게시되어 있어서 이를 지원하는 BIM소프트웨어에서 IFC포맷으로 내보내거나 들여올 수 있다. 하지만 실험결과 IAI로부터 IFC호환성 인증을 받은 BIM소프트웨어들이라도 IFC포맷의 파일을 내보내거나 들여올 때 정보가 손실되거나 변형되는 오류가 발생하였다. BIM소프트웨어 사용자들은 정보공유를 위해 IFC파일을 사용했을 때 자신도 모르게 에러가 발생해서 프로젝트에 큰 손실을 입을 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 호환성 검사에 대한 기존의 연구를 살펴본 후 IAI의 검사 과정을 조사하고 문제점을 도출한 후 문제점에 대한 해결방안을 제시하고자 한다.
