Every civil engineer should be aware about BIM. Are you aware?
For many years a need was felt to have a common 3D model of a civil structure from which multiple activities can be performed such as : • Visualization of the 3D model after architects and engineers has designed the civil structures, like, house, mall, school, etc. It should also provide a feature of the walkthrough for better visualization before realization. • Getting floor plans, section views, plans (top view), elevations, side views, for construction work, where a single model is able to create multiple projections. • Analysis (testing in various load conditions) of civil structure. • Estimation of the materials to be used in the civil structure. • Detection of clashes, for example between plumbing and electrification, electrification and air conditioning, etc. • Any change to the common civil structure should automatically be reflected to all components. For example, if a room size is changed then floor layout should be changed, electrification should be updated, air conditioning, duct layout & the material estimate may change, etc. • There are many BIM software available in market.
