The opportunities for leveraging Building Information Models (BIMs) for facility operations are compelling and yet utilization of BIMs during building operation and maintenance is falling behind the BIM implementations for design and construction. Current studies of BIMs used for the operations phase and commercially available technologies focus on transferring information from the design and construction phases to the operations phase by enabling creation and capturing of digital facility information throughout the facility lifecycle. Some of the commercial systems provide automated transfer of such information from BIM to Computerized Maintenance and Management Systems (CMMS) and/or Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) Systems but the focus of recent studies is limited to automated transfer of space and asset data with some emphasis on gathering the manufacturer and maintenance schedule information. Hence, currently available facility management systems are not benefiting from the 3D visualization capabilities that BIMs provide and the topological relationships between components already available in them. In this paper, the authors discuss opportunities for utilizing BIMs for facilities management, with a specific emphasis on supporting maintenance planning. The envisioned approach does not only make use of the information in a BIM that is transferred from design and construction phases, but also leverages the spatial relationships represented in a BIM for visualization and analyses of facility data. Along with this vision, the authors present results of a case study in which work orders generated during a one year period for a campus building were investigated and manually integrated into a BIM of that building in order to assess possible benefits that might be gained through the usage of a BIM for maintenance planning. Some of these benefits include: trend analysis of breakdowns at certain locations and under certain topological relationships and analysis and visualization of spatial relationships of work orders for more effective reactive maintenance and preventive planning.

Evaluation of reference modeling for building performance assessment Gürsel Dino, İpek (2014-04-15) Lifecycle building performance assessment (LBPA) practices are being increasingly applied on existing buildings to ensure that performance requirements are fulfilled during building service-life. LBPA is a multi-disciplinary and information-intense process that requires computational tools for information management and decision support. We have previously developed a computational reference model (CLIP-Core) that supports various component-based LBPA practices. When CLIP-Core is considered to be used, it n...
Evaluation of toolkits for visualizing information about performance of earthwork activities on construction job sites Atasoy Özcan, Güzide (null; 2010-06-30) Project team members interact with large multivariate datasets while monitoring the performance of construction projects. The analyses of such datasets are traditionally performed with statistical methods and usage of 2D graphics with x-y coordinates. However, these methods are disadvantageous compared to multi-dimensional information visualization, which can provide patterns of unprocessed data in a more descriptive and clear way. In order to provide support for visualization of data, several toolkits with...
Numerical assessment of tunnel advancement in problematic soil conditions: a case study Güneş, Anıl; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-1) Modeling tunnel advancement in complex ground conditions requires significant engineering judgment and is an integral part of the design and construction of tunnels. Insufficient data and improper design procedures may lead to dramatic consequences. Realistic estimations of the ground behavior, displacements, and support pressures are possible with accurate numerical models. In this study, the advancement of Tunnel A93 is investigated by 1-D semi-empirical assessments and two-dimensional finite element anal...
BIM EXECUTION PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES FOR BUILDING PROJECTS GERÇEK, Bilge; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat; İLAL, MUSTAFA EMRE; GÜNAYDIN, HÜSNÜ MURAT (2017-07-29) Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been an emerging concept in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry with a vast amount of promising benefits to construction projects. Implementation of BIM, however, requires comprehensive research and strategic planning. Industry-wide and organizational implementation guidelines and standards have been published around the world either to encourage organizations to adopt BIM or to present the minimum requirements to be followed where BIM implementa...
Modeling highway projects: The need for Highway Information Modeling (HIM) guideline and information exchange Ertaymaz, Uğurcan; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide (2019-06-01) Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one of the latest trends in the construction sector and utilized for modeling, reviewing and analyzing building projects for the last two decades with benefits including visualization, planning, and estimation. BIM provides a well-organized and streamlined approach for building projects; however, its application for highway projects has been scarce. Progressing requirements, increasing number of stakeholders, integrated design solutions, expanding model uses and rapid ...
