Abstract
ABSTRACT
Structures are suffered from continuous ageing effects. Deterioration or
degradation is inevitable process for all Structure elements. Reliable inspection and
monitoring tools are therefore an increasing demand. The diagnosis and the
evaluation of current conditions and residual service life of existing structures are
key aspects of concrete structure management. Using Building information
modeling (BIM) is very useful to facilitate the condition assessment of the
Structure and record all repair works that have taken place during its life cycle.
The assets owners can receive the benefit of using BIM by incorporating the
principles of BIM into the operation and repair action of Structures. The main
focus is on the integration of repair data by using building information modeling
(BIM) to facilitate efficient inspection planning and to improve the condition
assessment process for Structure elements. This research presents a framework
based on BIM for Structures condition assessment. The framework consists of
three models: Condition Assessment Model, Deterioration Predictive Model and
Repair selection Model.
The condition assessment accurately evaluates the condition of Structure elements,
depending on the current condition assessment; the proposed deterioration model
predicts the future deterioration of the elements for each year and overall Structure
condition during its life cycle by using a Marcov Chain model. As follows, the
present condition and the future deteriorations are monitored by the proposed
framework and used to get the best repair actions within available budget. To
verify and test the suggested methodology, a real model (case study) was chosen in
order to apply the proposed method. The model is a building consisting of a ground
and four typical floors. After number of years of its construction an assessment
committee was formed to evaluate the current structural performance and predict
its future deterioration to decide the best repair actions within available budget.
