Title: Development of a parametric modeling method for masonry wall systems to support robotic construction
The construction industry has undergone a technological shift. Technology advancements have made robots a topic of discussion in construction. One challenge to overcome is how the robot receives information from designed BIM models. This study describes the methods employed for parametric modeling and generating model content of wall systems in Autodesk Revit added with a Dynamo script. Coordinates are determined for components based on model geometry and dimensions. Once generated, components are placed with the required material based on wall parameters. This research develops a method to add components based on wall materials from a traditionally modeled BIM extracting information such as location, object identifier (ID), type, and orientation which is formatted to transfer to the robot based on the needs of the robotic system as a list of tasks in a comma-separated values (.CSV) file. This study details the development process and early implementation of the Dynamo script.  more » « less

    Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a critical data source for constructing new structures depicting the inner workings of the systems and components in detail. However, current modeling practices are based on traditional construction methods, resulting in insufficient details within the BIM model to support robotic construction for many building systems. The model’s level of development (LOD) needs to be increased to facilitate the changes in data requirements. One method that allows for increased LOD is computational modeling; however, many factors can influence the process. Therefore, this study investigates challenges for implementation to increase the LOD for building to enable robotic construction. Dynamo is used as the computational modeling software in conjunction with Autodesk Revit to accomplish this. A process was created to place various components, such as concrete masonry units (CMUs), in their final design location and extract information utilizing these platforms for masonry construction. However, challenges were met during this process, including material naming conventions, tolerance/specification inputs, wall openings/lintels, and component/material libraries. The challenges presented during the implementation of the Dynamo mirror what the literature shows for supporting technological infrastructure BIM and mobile robot construction. To accomplish this research, an extensive literature review was completed, along with documentation of challenges during the development and implementation of the script.

    In the past, the construction industry has been slow to adopt new technology. There has been a rapid expansion of technologies, often referred to as Industry 4.0, to aid in the use of automation. One challenge paralleling these new technologies is implementing how a robot interprets design information, specifically information from a Building Information Model (BIM). This paper presents a method for identifying and transforming information from BIM to support robotic material placement on the construction site. This research will include a review of what information can be directly extracted from the model and what must be supplemented to the model for the robot to perform defined tasks within a construction site. The construction sites’ dynamic nature poses multiple challenges that must be addressed for the information extracted from a model to be used by a robot in daily construction operations. This research also identifies barriers and limitations based upon current practice, such as different levels of development or model content as well as needed precision within the information provided for a mobile robot to complete a defined task.

    Historically, ornament has provided a tether to cultural meaning in the built world. Ornament is tied to specific cultural attributes. As an integral part of the construction, ornament negotiates with the culture from which it emerges. It is a built grammar, but it is also expressive of its own making as well as the society that shaped it. Modernity has largely reversed this connection with some important exceptions. There is a strong history of architects developing space through the design of the construction that provides what Louis Sullivan would call an “organic” link to the ornament that emerges, and this nexus of structure and form becomes the “site” of the ornament. Luigi Nervi’s ferro-cement shells and Frank Lloyd Wright’s textile blocks are two salient examples that have, through necessity or interest, developed details that generate entire projects, which then generate new projects as that construction/detail is refined and builds on the culture that inspired it. Ornament is thus a negotiation between the built artifact and the meaning of its “ornamented” expression. As architects, we now operate in a world of off-the-shelf selected components. This attitude, combined with the integration of building components into BIM programs, has made the architect a selector/consumer rather than a designer of the construction, making ornament a part of this selection process – i.e., decoration. The research project Woven Blocks is an attempt to reexamine the way in which architects can shape space through the design of the construction itself. Pulling from Frank Lloyd Wright’s textile block system, Woven Blocks imagines a 3D-printed block capable of taking advantage of a self-supporting system of enclosure that can be “programmed” with function, take on aspects of the context it resides in, and reflect the nature of its making. The project is the design of the manufacturing process as well as its end-product. This enables the building material to respond directly to its program, shaping space/meaning in potentially a more “plastic” way. This paper is first a consideration of architects thinking through construction, then a reflection on the cultural implication of their production. The site of ornament also implies a shift in perception from the textile patterns of specific cultures found in ceramics, clothing, wall mats, or flooring onto the building surface and into its lashing to the frame and the integration of its various services/systems. This lens will serve to frame the research around the project Woven Blocks, examining the efforts of the authors to shape the process of construction as a place from which ornament can emerge and meaning can be rediscovered.

    Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an integrated informational process and plays a key role in enabling efficient planning and control of a project in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) domain. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)-based BIM allows building information to be interoperable among different BIM applications. Different stakeholders take different responsibilities in a project and therefore keep different types of information to meet project requirements. In this paper, the authors proposed and adopted a six-step methodology to support BIM interoperability between architectural design and structural analysis at both AEC project level and information level, in which: (1) the intrinsic and extrinsic information transferred between architectural models and structural models were analyzed and demonstrated by a Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) model that the authors developed; (2) the proposed technical routes with different combinations, and their applications to different project delivery methods provided new instruments to stakeholders in industry for efficient and accurate decision-making; (3) the material centered invariant signature with portability can improve information exchange between different data formats and models to support interoperable BIM applications; and (4) a developed formal material information representation and checking method was tested on a case study where its efficiency was demonstrated to outperform: (1) proprietary representations and information checking method based on a manual operation, and (2) MVD-based information checking method. The proposed invariant signatures-based material information representation and checking method brings a better efficiency for information transfer between architectural design and structural analysis, which can have significant positive effect on a project delivery, due to the frequent and iterative update of a project design. This improves the information transfer and coordination between architects and structural engineers and therefore the efficiency of the whole project. The proposed method can be extended and applied to other application phases and functions such as cost estimation, scheduling, and energy analysis.

    Offsite construction (e.g., wood modular houses) has many advantages over traditional stick-built construction, ranging from schedule/cost reduction to improvement in safety and quality of the built product. Unlike stick-built, offsite construction demands higher levels of design and planning coordination at the early stages of the construction project to avoid cost overruns and/or delays. However, most companies still rely on 2D drawings in the development of shop drawings, which are required for the fabrication of the building components such as walls and roofs. In practice, the process of developing shop drawings is usually based on manually interpreting the 2D drawings and specifications, which is time-consuming, costly, and prone to human errors. A 3D information model can improve the accuracy of this process. To help achieve this, the authors developed a semi-automated method that can process 2D orthographic views of building components and convert them to 3D models, which can be useful for fabrication. The developed 3D information model can be further transformed to building information models (BIMs) to support collaboration amongst users and data exchanges across platforms. The developed method was evaluated in the development of wall components of a student apartment project in Kalamazoo, MI. Experimental results showed that the developed method successfully generated the 3D information model of the wall components. A time comparison with the state-of-the-art practices in developing the wall components was performed. Results showed that the developed method utilized approximately 22% of the time it took the state-of-the-art manual method to generate the 3D models.
