Although Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) provide standards for exchanging Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, authoring tools still require manual mapping between BIM entities and IFC classes. This leads to errors and omissions, which results in corrupted data exchanges that are unreliable and thus compromise the validity of IFC. This research explored precedent work by Krijnen and Tamke, who suggested ways to automate the mapping of IFC classes using a machine learning technique, namely anomaly detection. The technique incorporates geometric features of individual components to find outliers among entities in identical IFC classes. This research primarily focused on applying this approach on two architectural BIM models and determining its feasibility as well as limitations. Results indicated that the approach, while effective, misclassified outliers when an IFC class had several dissimilar entities. Another issue was the lack of entities for some specific IFC classes that prohibited the anomaly detection from comparing differences. Future research to improve these issues include the addition of geometric features, using novelty detection and the inclusion of a probabilistic graph model, to improve classification accuracy.

Planning information generated during initial architectural design phases significantly influences subsequent phases, and is implemented into architectural design models during the design process. However, failures to manage and use planning information in Korean design offices remain common. Current design tools that incorporate planning information also do not address the issue of interoperability during the life cycles of buildings. To address these problems, the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) extension model was developed to accommodate the need to manage and use planning information for cooperation between design offices carrying out multidisciplinary tasks. This paper introduces a purpose-built software tool that implements the IFC model and demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed method with the software tool.

3D-based BIM(Building Information Modeling) technologies can be utilized effectively as a means of systematic management of facility information for safety assurance and effective maintenance of waterworks facilities. In this study, BIM models of water treatment facilities that can be used as basic data for BIM-based maintenance of waterworks facilities were developed. Information exchange and generality of the developed BIM models were evaluated by conducting interoperability analysis of IFC(Industry Foundation Classes) conversion models. In addition, the application of COBie(Construction Operations Building information exchange) was recommended as an effective countermeasure to deal with technical limitation regarding exchange and utilization of facilities-related information through current IFC models. The results of this study can contribute to the development of BIM-based maintenance system for waterworks facilities.

Industry Foundation Classes(IFC)는 Building Information Modeling(BIM)을 위한 표준 데이터 스키마로 정보의 상호운용성 확보를 위한 핵심이지만, 건물만을 대상으로 하고 있어 토목 시설물에 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 이에 따라 기존 IFC에 토목 시설물을 위한 새로운 요소를 추가하는 연구가 진행되었지만, 상용 소프트웨어가 해당 기능을 추가하기 전에는 새로운 스키마를 활용할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 토목 시설물에 적용하기 위한 IFC 데이터 스키마 활용 방안을 제시하고, 토목시설물을 위한 확장 요소와 기존 IFC 요소와의 정보 매핑을 통한 확장 IFC기반의 토목 시설물 정보모델링 방법을 제시하였다. 그리고 철도의 궤도 및 침목에 대한 IFC 확장 스키마를 제시하고 제시한 방법을 적용하여 그 활용성을 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)를 기반으로 토목 시설물 정보 모델을 생성하는 경우에 발생할 수 있는 정보 검색 및 모델 재생성의 어려운 점을 보완할 수 있는 질의어를 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 첫번째로, IFC에서 구조물을 나타내기 위한 요소와 속성을 다루는 부분, 그리고 이들을 연결해주는 요소의 관계를 분석하고 이에 따른 흐름을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 최종 사용자의 입장에서 IFC 파일 내에서의 속성, 객체 및 그에 따르는 연결에 대한 접근 및 파악이 매우 힘들 수 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 기존 Building Information Model Query Language (BimQL)의 방법을 참고하여 IfcPropertySet 중심의 질의 방식을 제시하고 이를 적용할 수 있는 독립 모듈을 개발하였다. 마지막으로 제시한 방법을 철도의 궤도 및 침목에 적용하여 사용자가 의도한 대로 효과적인 정보 추출 및 모델 재생성이 가능함을 확인하였다. 이러한 접근방법의 장점은 IFC 파일만을 대상으로 효과적인 정보의 검색이 가능하다는 점으로, 정보의 상호운용성의 이점을 극대화할 수 있다.

최근 표준으로 등록된 IFC(Industry Foundation Classes)4는 건축시설의 형상요소 표현에 한정될 뿐 도로, 교량 및 터널 등의 토목시설에 대한 형상표준을 정의하고 있지 않아 여전히 토목 형상모델의 교환을 위한 상호운용성에 제약이 있다. 특히 도로시설은 중심선형에 따라 모델링되는 선형적 특성을 가지며, 프로젝트 별로 형상이 서로 상이하여 표준화된 도로정보모델을 구축하는 것이 곤란하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도로의 형상정보모델 개발을 위해 3차원 설계 프로세스 관점에서 도로를 구성하는 구조요소 및 속성을 도출하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 도로설계를 위해 활용되는 도로설계편람, 지침, 시방서 및 기하설계 기준 등의 정보를 분석하여 도로 구조물의 형상 요소와 속성을 추출한다. 도출된 형상은 엔티티(Entity) 항목으로 정의하고 가상 도로모델을 통해 정의된 도로 형상모델의 위계구조를 검토한다. 도출된 도로의 세부 구조 요소 및 속성은 인프라 분야의 BIM(Building Information Modeling)환경을 구축하기 위한 3차원 형상정보로 활용되며, 도로의 구체적인 형상, 타입 및 속성을 세분화하여 도로분야의 IFC로 확장하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

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.

Recently, BIM has been widely applying in civil engineering projects centering on the private construction industry in order to establish self guidelines for spreading in practice. However, most BIM technologies and software are based on the architectural projects. In these environments, it is not easy to apply the BIM to a infrastructure field. Even BIM standards with IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) are also focusing on architectural projects. Especially, both private and public sectors do not know about how BIM delivery system should be performed, and how such deliverable should be submitted to the government yet. Thus, we need to analyze an application level of BIM S/W (Software) in real projects and verify their interoperability. Besides, since there are not any common standards that can exchange IFC models for civil engineering projects, we have many issues in converting as-built infrastructure models into IFC and delivering their design documents to the government. Accordingly, this study aims to perform a BIM process with commercial software for real road project after a detailed design process is finished and verify interoperability between diverse BIM software for securing BIM data reliability.

In recent years, numerous studies have attempted to extract quantity data by using Building Information Modeling (BIM). In terms of open-BIM based quantity take-off at the early design stage, only few studies were conducted in the field of cost engineering. A lack of compatibility of open BIM for information exchange is postulated as the cause. The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) extension model has been developed to accommodate the interoperability with quantity take-off software. Improvement of open BIM for quantity take-off needs exchange requirements and model guidelines. For this purpose, the quantity data of IFC models were analyzed using BIM analysis tools. This paper also provides a proposal of requirements on open BIM based quantity take-off at the early design stage. Further this study have been develop the interface system for open BIM based quantity take-off requirements with the results on this study.

Using BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based design information to analyze various engineering processes has been widely adopted in construction projects. However, since typical building permit processes often require traditional 2D-based design information for submission and to obtain building approval, there are some challenges in delivering such data thru BIM-based design information. This paper proposed a methodology to generate and meet information requirements for permit applications and approvals based on BIM-based design information. To that end, we analyzed the required information necessary to make submissions for building approvals using the Seumter system. We then suggested a process to collect the required information from BIM-based data, and classified this into two types: BIM-internal and BIM-external information requirements. In addition, we proposed three algorithms to extract and to match between extracted BIM data and BIM-internal information requirements using IFC(Industry Foundation Classes). The proposed methodology enables to ensure the efficiency and the accuracy when providing data for building permit review and approval.
