As the Public Procurement Service announced the compulsory of BIM adaption in every public construction from 2016, the importance of BIM is increasing. Besides, automatic code checking takes significance in terms of the quality control for BIM based design. In this study, rule-sets were defined for Act on the Promotion and Guarantee of Access for the Disabled, the Aged, and Pregnant Women to Facilities and Information. Three analytic steps were suggested to shortlist the objective clauses from the entire code; the frequency analysis using project reviews for architectural code compliance, the clause analysis on quantifiability, and the analysis for model checking possibilities. The shortlisted clauses were transformed into the machine readable rule-set definition. A case study was conducted to verify the adaptiveness and consistency of rule-set definitions. In future study, it is required the methodologies of selecting objective clauses to be specified and its indicators to be quantified. Also case studies should be performed to determine the pre-conditions in modeling and to check interoperability issues and other possible errors in models.

A daily progress monitoring and further schedule management of a construction project have a significant impact on the construction manager's decision making in schedule change and controlling field operation. However, a current site monitoring method highly relies on the manually recorded daily-log book by the person in charge of the work. For this reason, it is difficult to take a detached view and sometimes human error such as omission of contents may occur. In order to resolve these problems, previous researches have developed automated site monitoring method with the object recognition-based visualization or BIM data creation. Despite of the research results along with the related technology development, there are limitations in application targeting the practical construction projects due to the constraints in the experimental methods that assume the fixed equipment at a specific location. To overcome these limitations, some smart devices carried by the field workers can be employed as a medium for data creation. Specifically, the extracted information from the site picture by object recognition technology of CNN model, and positional information by GIPS are applied to update 4D BIM data. A standard CNN model is developed and BIM data modification experiments are conducted with the collected data to validate the research suggestion. Based on the experimental results, it is confirmed that the methods and performance are applicable to the construction site management and further it is expected to contribute speedy and precise data creation with the application of automated progress monitoring methods.

The construction progress control is very important because there are many unexpected factors affecting time schedule delay and cost overruns. A complicated measure including item quantity and inherent time and costs is used to monitor the progress. Another element to be considered is a productivity, which is cost effectiveness because productivity is primarily measured by the costs. Productivity is stated as constant in-place value divided by inputs such as worker-hour. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the productivity of structural formwork using a 3D BIM. In order to achieve the research objective, an integrated model of a BIM with a daily foreman's report is developed. The quantities being extracted from a 3D model and information are integrated with manpower utilized. The developed model is applied to a case project to measure and analyze the productivity in terms of individual building and work crew team. The results are discussed and further research topics will be addressed.

건축, 토목 분야의 정보 교환을 위한 표준으로 주목받고 있는 BIM 모델의 국제 표준인 IFC 표준을 위해, 소프트웨어가 IFC 표준에 맞게 유효한 정보를 입출력 하도록 도와주고, IFC 파일이 표준에 맞는지 검증할 수 있는 모듈을 개발했다. 특히, 지역별 및 국가별 상황에 맞게 BIM 모델을 수정하거나 확장해 사용하도록 권고하고 있는 상황에서 다양한 확장 IFC 표준을 효과적으로 지원할 수 있도록 IFC 표준을 정의하는 EXPRESS 언어로부터, 객체 지향 언어를 위한 소프트웨어 개발 라이브러리를 자동으로 생성하고, 해당 SDK를 활용해 IFC 모델을 검증하는 라이브러리를 자동으로 생성하며, IFC 파일을 검증할 수 있는 독립적인 실행 파일도 자동으로 생성할 수 있도록 했다. 또한 객체 지향 라이브러리를 사용함으로써 주어진 IFC 모델을 효과적으로 문서화 할 수 있도록 HTML 생성 도구를 개발하거나 3차원 형상 확인이 가능하도록 VRML 생성 도구를 개발하는 등의 작업이 쉽게 이뤄짐을 확인했다. 이렇게 자동화된 BIM 소프트웨어 개발 도구는 IFC 모델의 수정이나 확장을 고려하는 BIM 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트의 생산성을 향상시키고, 해당 시스템의 운영에 신뢰도를 높이는 것은 물론이며, 향후 국내 실정에 맞게 운영될 BIM 인증 제도에도 활용하면 기존의 수작업 방식 인증제도에 비해 인증에 걸리는 시간과 비용을 줄이는 것은 물론 인증 자체의 객관성과 정확성, 투명성과 신뢰성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, as smart construction has become more active, construction companys are evaluating their smart construction capabilities in order to transform into smart construction companies. However, the revitalization of smart construction doesn't only apply to construction companies, the level of utilization of all participants, including owners, designers, construction project managers, and construction company, must be improved. Therefore, this study aims to present a model that evaluate the building information modeling (BIM) utilization level for measuring the BIM utilization level of construction management companies in executing construction project management. In this study, an AHP questionnaire survey targeting BIM practitioners to calculate the weight of each BIM utilization item and score it to construct evaluation model and evaluate it by applying it to construction management companies are conducted. As a result of the evaluation using model, there were differences between companies in the number of BIM users, and in the qualitative evaluation, it is mainly used for interference review, constructability review, and design change management. Therefore, in order to revitalize BIM, it is believed that it is necessary to strengthen BIM utilization ability through separate training for construction manager (CMr) and to present clear utilization standards and scope of work for BIM utilization in performing construction management tasks. Consequently, evaluating more construction management companies using the model presented in this study will result in the transition of CM companies to smart construction and revitalization of BIM adoption.

Using geospatial information in the early design phase is crucial because it requires considerable time, money, and effort. We use VWorld, part of the National Spatial Information Distribution system provided by the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation, for providing geospatial information to building designers. We provide methods to adopt VWorld geospatial information to building design and develop plugins for a BIM authoring tool to transform and construct necessary BIM data in a user-friendly format. BIM users are benefitted from extra design information supplied from sibling disciplines such as urban design. GIS users are benefited by feedback building information continuously supplied from building projects based upon standard GIS coordinates. It is clear that an architectural designer with BIM tool can save time and efforts to obtain the geospatial information related a project using the developed system as result of this research.

In building construction project, there are numerous information or data parts across many different software applications and professional specialists. BIM (Building Information Modeling), as a medium for managing information generated during construction project, it is intended to enhance the effectiveness of construction management and reap a lot of advantages such as, automatic quantity takeoff, error-free estimation, 4D(3D+Time), 5D(4D+Cost) simulation. Nevertheless, the overall and practical effectiveness of BIM utilization is difficult to justify at this stage. While helpful, there are some limitation when BIM applied to construction management due to the differences of data processing process between BIM and work in the field, limitations of information generated from BIM object and interoperability problem among BIM application. Therefore, this paper propose a framework integrating BIM with cost-schedule information using IFC. And we construct the system prototype based on the framework and performed case study to examine the framework. The proposed framework provides the information basis for BIM based cost-schedule integration. ultimately, the framework increase the utilization of BIM and work efficiency of construction industry by supporting an understanding of information.

The communication of each others is lack between planing, design, construction and maintenance in domestic construction industry. This problem makes the omission of information and the loss of cost. So, the introduction of BIM can be the solution about that. BIM manages all information generated during all life-cycle of a structure and consequently maximizes the efficiency of utilizing information. This is done through 3D information model associated with a three-dimensional(3D) parametric CAD. This study proposes the seismic analysis process of steel box bridge for structural design of bridge construction project based on BIM. The additional process is needed for the purpose that structural data is inherent in the property information of 3D information model. This process has 3D modeling progress done by using the information decided in design phase. The design document of seismic analysis can be derived with the proposed process to steel box bridge.
