Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a promising technology on resilient design. The use of BIM technology could enable seismic design and installation of nonstructural elements. This study discusses the usefulness of BIM in seismic design and assessment of lightweight steel stud gypsum board partition walls (drywall systems). This study also presents the potential of BIM in order to disseminate the information about seismic demands on drywalls in reinforced concrete (RC) structures among stakeholders during the design phase. Thus an integrated and synchronous approach is proposed where the analyst can specify the required precautions or metadata through BIM that eliminates stereotype installations before starting or revising the physical construction process. Two generic office buildings fictitiously located in İstanbul - Turkey, are modeled. One of them is designed according to design earthquake whereas the other satisfies the demands of maximum considered earthquake (earthquakes with 475 and 2475 year return periods, respectively). The required models of these buildings are produced in BIM compatible software and data exchanges are supplied between these environments by Application Programming Interface (API) extensions. The seismic demands on drywalls are presented to show the differences among interior partition walls located in different parts of the building and having various equipment. The demands on the drywalls are evaluated according to reference data from drywall specification sheets and ASCE/SEI standards. This study showed that, by making use of BIM technology, the relatively vulnerable and overdesigned walls can be easily distinguished and shared with all stakeholders before the installation or renewal of the systems which eventually saves life, time and money throughout life-cycle of the buildings.

Analysis of modeling effort and impact of different levels of detail in building information models Leite, Fernanda; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Akinci, Burcu; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Kiziltas, Semiha (2011-08-01) The main objectives of this paper are to evaluate the modeling effort associated with generating building information modeling (BIM) at different levels of detail (LoD) and the impact of LoD in a project in supporting mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design coordination. Results show an increase in total modeling time ranging from doubling the modeling effort to eleven folding it, when going from one LoD to another. When comparing modeling time per object, rates ranged from 0.2 (decreased modeling ...
An Investigation of building information modeling maturity in turkish small-medium size enterprises architectural and engineering firms Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2017) Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry experiences Building Information Modeling (BIM) transition process in all over the world. As the firms have advanced on BIM implementation, a necessity to benchmark the BIM performance has emerged. A couple of assessment tools were released for the sector to be used by organizations, individuals and governments to benchmark the BIM implementation maturity. The architecture and engineering firms in Turkey are also in the midst of BIM transition. Howev...
Analysis of contextual computer-Aided design (CAD) exercises Öztürk, Elif; Peng, Xiaobo; Valverde, Lauralee Mariel; Mcgary, Prentiss Dwight; Johnson, Michael (2013-09-24) Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technologies are an essential part of modern design endeavors. In today's industry, engineers use CAD models throughout their work. This makes CAD education crucial. However current CAD education has typically focused on narrow skills related to particular CAD software. The skills necessary to adapt new CAD software and effectively utilize the existing models in modified designs are not the primary emphasis in CAD education. In this paper, the most recent findings of a three-year...
Investigation of the relationship of seismic intensity measures and the accumulation of damage on concrete gravity dams using incremental dynamic analysis Soysal, BERAT FEYZA; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın (2016-04-25) Nonlinear analysis tools are gaining prominence for the design and evaluation of concrete gravity dams. The performance limits of concrete gravity dams within the framework of performance based design are challenging to determine in comparison to those used for the assessments based on linear elastic analyses. The uncertainty in quantifying the behavior of these systems and the strong dependence of the behavior on the ground motion play an important role. The purpose of the study is to quantify the damage l...
Development of a knowledge-based system and a comparative study on the selection of bearings (c) Erden, A; Akkok, M; Taner, IE (2001-06-01) An intelligent software package to select beatings suitable for a given application is developed and tested for the purpose of improving design efficiency and elimination of human dependent expertise for conceptual design. The work includes creation and development of a knowledge base and a classification of bearings based on operating and environmental factors within the knowledge base structure. The selection process is automated by using an inference engine that is developed mainly for this purpose and a...
