Construction Design of Hotel With Spa Using BIM Technology

Abstract

The topic of this work is the implementation of the structural project for Hotel with Spa using the BIM technology. Currently, design BIM technology is ever more frequent, in some countries for projects relating to public buildings, this technology is required. It has many advantages for all parties involved in the project. In case of the real design of building the best solution would be to perform the various stages of the project in collaboration between architect, designer and installer. The work should be done on a model with the ability to update it during operation. An important aspect is a good cooperation and appropriate software. Several companies offer different kind of programs using BIM technology, that are able to work together. The purpose of the work is to familiarize the reader with this technology, its advantages and difficulties they may encounter in the process of including it to the company and what kind of errors can appear during the execution of the project. One of the goals of this work is to check the programs offered by Autodesk and check how they cooperate between them. The company has a number of programs designed to carry out all stages starting from architecture model, visualization and cost estimation. The programs were selected from this company because of the student versions available for free. The work is based on the building model received from the Cathedral of Architecture, Technical University of Rzeszow and done in part of a thesis by one of the student. This model was made in the ArchiCAD program. The first step would be to send the architecture model using the IFC format to another program that is Revit 2015. In this program would be separated the structural model from architecture, and if necessary would be done some changes and correcting errors. In this program, it is also possible to perform installations. The next stage of work would be sending the building model to the Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2015. In the program would be checked the analytical model for the design building. They would be applied all necessary load and made manually combinations based on the Eurocodes. Then would be generated mesh and performed calculations. Then for each structural element would be set appropriate parameters for which would be selected reinforcement. If necessary, dimensions of the elements would be changed. The last step would be update the model in the Revit program, verification of the changes and by using the tools available in the program preparation the drawing documentation.
