The design and detailing of reinforced concrete frames is a complex process that requires intensive real-time information exchange between various design tasks. The monolithic behavior of concrete, differences in the geometric representation of structural members during the analysis and design stages, and design code requirements throughout the process add new dimensions to the problem. Additionally, especially in large projects, reinforced concrete structures are designed and detailed by several engineers simultaneously. These complexities can be resolved and the overall quality of the design can be improved by identifying information requirements for managing the design information between the design and detailing tasks and thus between structural engineers. In this paper, requirements for managing information for multiuser design and detailing of reinforced concrete frames are identified and a prototype information model has been implemented based on existing literature. The means of performing design computations on a standard basis and the requirements of a multiuser design have also been integrated into the abstraction of objects in the library. Definition of high-level classes that integrate multiple structural components, parametric relationship between components, and separating shear and flexural design tasks were determined as the main requirements for such a model.

Multiobjective Design Optimization of Building Space Layout, Energy, and Daylighting Performance Gürsel Dino, İpek; Üçoluk, Göktürk (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-09-01) Computational tools for early architectural design need to address issues related to building performance and integrally consider early design decisions regarding building form, spatial layout, orientation, and envelope articulation. This paper presents (1) a design optimization tool, Multiobjective Architectural Design Explorer (MADE) that supports performative-based building design, and (2) a design exploration strategy that effectively operationalizes MADE for Pareto-based comparative search. M...
Technological Viability Assessment of Bluetooth Low Energy Technology for Indoor Localization Topak, Fatih; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Tanyer, Ali Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018-09-01) Localization in indoor built environments has considerable importance for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. It has various use cases, including building occupancy detection, automated asset tracking in construction sites, supporting facility maintenance and operations, and guiding people in building emergency response operations. Although some initial studies examining the usability of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for indoor localization exist in the literature, there is still a gap fo...
Analysis of Three Indoor Localization Technologies for Supporting Operations and Maintenance Field Tasks Taneja, Saurabh; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Akinci, Burcu; Garrett, James H.; Soibelman, Lucio; East, E. William (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-11-01) Locating building components that need to be worked on during maintenance tasks is critical for timely repair of the component and mitigation of the damage. The process of locating a component or a person in a facility is called indoor localization. The objective of this research study is to analyze the feasibility of three indoor localization technologies for supporting operations and maintenance (O&M) field tasks; namely, wireless local area network (WLAN), radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, and ...
Optimum design of high-rise steel buildings using an evolution strategy integrated parallel algorithm Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Kurç, Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01) The present study addresses a parallel solution algorithm for optimum design of large steel space frame structures, in particular high-rise steel buildings. The algorithm implements a novel discrete evolution strategy optimization method to effectively size these systems for minimum weight according to the provisions of ASD-AISC specification and various practical aspects of design process. The multitasking environment in the algorithm rests on a master-slave model based parallelization of the optimization ...
Building-Information-Modeling-Based Earthquake Damage Assessment for Reinforced Concrete Walls Anil, Engin Burak; Akinci, Burcu; Kurç, Özgür; Garrett, James H. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2016-07-01) Engineering analysis to quantify the effects of earthquake forces on the structural strength of components requires determining the damage mode and severity of the components. The analysis requires strength computations and visual damage assessments, which are information intensive, potentially error-prone, and slow. This study develops a building-information-modeling (BIM) based approach to support the engineering analysis of reinforced concrete structures. In the proposed approach, the damage information ...
