TY - THES A1 - Koch, Christian T1 - Bauwerksmodellierung im kooperativen Planungsprozess: Mit der Objektorientierung zur Verarbeitungsorientierung T1 - Building Modeling in Cooperative Design: With Object-orientation to Processing-orientation N2 - Im rechnergestützten Bauplanungsprozess arbeiten verschiedene Fachplaner an der gemeinsamen Aufgabe, ein Bauwerk zu planen, zusammen. Verfügbare Kooperationsansätze beschäftigen sich mit versionierten und verteilten Bauwerksmodellen, die auf Basis der Objektorientierung virtuelle Bauwerkszustände beschreiben. Die in diesen zustandsorientierten Modellen unberücksichtigten Zustandsänderungen führen zu derzeitigen Problemen beim Austausch, beim Vergleich und bei der Zusammenführung von versionierten Bauwerksinformationen. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines verarbeitungsorientierten Ansatzes zur ganzheitlichen Betrachtung der Bauwerksmodellierung. Neben der zustandsorientierten Beschreibung eines virtuellen Bauwerks werden zusätzlich änderungsorientierte Informationen in Form von Modellieroperationen in der Modellbildung berücksichtigt. Es wird eine Modellierungssprache definiert, um Operationen formal zu beschreiben. Modellieroperationen bilden eine Verarbeitungsschnittstelle für Objektmodelle, repräsentieren Entwurfsabsichten, reichern bestehende Bauwerksmodelle mit Änderungssemantik an und tragen zur Konsistenzsicherung in diesen Modellen bei. Neuartige Kooperationskonzepte für den Austausch, den Vergleich und das Zusammenführen von versionierten Bauwerksinformationen werden auf Grundlage des vorgeschlagenen Ansatzes entwickelt. Sowohl das Modell als auch die Sprache werden unabhängig von aktuellen Technologien formal beschrieben. Die prinzipielle Anwendbarkeit des vorgeschlagenen Ansatzes wird im Rahmen einer Pilotimplementierung auf Basis eines Open-Source-Systems im Bauwesen nachgewiesen. N2 - Several actors involved in the computer-supported building planning process work together towards a common goal - the design of a building. Available cooperation approaches focus on versioned and distributed building models which describe virtual building states on the basis of the object-oriented method. State changes remain unconsidered and lead to known problems when exchanging, comparing and merging versioned building information. The work presented deals with the development of a processing-oriented approach for the integral consideration of building modeling. In addition to the state-oriented description of a virtual building, change-oriented information is provided by means of model operations. A new modeling language is defined for the formal description of operations. Model operations establish a processing interface for object models, represent design intents, enhance existing building models with change semantics and add to the consistency of these models. New enhanced concepts for cooperation are defined on the basis of the approach presented. These concepts provide functionality for cooperation when exchanging, comparing and merging versioned building information. Both the model and the language are formally described in order to be independent of current technologies. The applicability of the approach proposed is verified in principle by a pilot implementation based on an Open Source engineering system.

Within the life cycle of a building, especially during the design and construction phases, a lot of engineers with different points of view, proprietary applications and data formats are involved. The collaboration of all participating engineers is characterised by a high amount of communication. Due to these aspects, a homogeneous building model for all engineers is not feasible. The status quo of civil engineering is the segmentation of the complete model into partial models. Currently, the interdependencies of these partial models are not in the focus of available engineering solutions. This paper addresses the problem of coupling partial models in civil engineering. According to the state-of-the-art, applications and partial models are formulated by the object-oriented method. Although this method solves basic communication problems like subclass coupling directly it was found that many relevant coupling problems remain to be solved. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse and classify the relevant coupling types in building modelling. Coupling in computer science refers to the relationship between modules and their mutual interaction and can be divided into different coupling types. The coupling types differ on the degree by which the coupled modules rely upon each other. This is exemplified by a general reference example from civil engineering. A uniform formulation of coupling patterns is described analogously to design patterns, which are a common methodology in software engineering. Design patterns are templates for describing a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem. A template is independent of the programming language and the operating system. These coupling patterns are selected according to the specific problems of building modelling. A specific meta-model for coupling problems in civil engineering is introduced. In our meta-model the coupling patterns are a semantic description of a specific coupling design.

A bridge consumes between 0.4% and 2% of its construction cost per year over its entire life cycle. This means that up to 80% of the construction cost are additionally needed for operation, inspection, maintenance, and destruction. Current practices rely either on paperbased inspections or on abstract specialist software. Every application in the inspection and maintenance sector uses its own data model for structures, inspections, defects, and maintenance. Due to this, data and properties have to be transferred manually, otherwise a converter is necessary for every data exchange between two applications. To overcome this issue, an adequate model standard for inspections, damage, and maintenance is necessary. Modern 3D models may serve as a single source of truth, which has been suggested in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept. Further, these models offer a clear visualization of the built infrastructure, and improve not only the planning and construction phases, but also the operation phase of construction projects. BIM is established mostly in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector to plan and construct new buildings. Currently, BIM does not cover the whole life cycle of a building, especially not inspection and maintenance. Creating damage models needs the building model first, because a defect is dependent on the building component, its properties and material. Hence, a building information model is necessary to obtain meaningful conclusions from damage information. This paper analyzes the requirements, which arise from practice, and the research that has been done in modeling damage and related information for bridges. With a look at damage categories and use cases related to inspection and maintenance, scientific literature is discussed and synthesized. Finally, research gaps and needs are identified and discussed.

Several inspections and assessment actions are executed during this period. Bridge and damage information must be gathered, digitized, and exchanged between different stakeholders. Currently, the inspection and assessment practices rely on paper-based data collection and exchange, which is time-consuming and error-prone, and leads to loss of information. Storing and exchanging damage and building information in a digital format may lower costs and errors during inspection and assessment and support future needs, for example, immediate simulations regarding performance assessment, automated maintenance planning, and mixed reality inspections. This study focused on the concept for modeling damage information to support bridge reviews and structural analysis. Starting from the definition of multiple use cases and related requirements, the data model for damage information is defined independently from the subsequent implementation. In the next step, the implementation via an established standard is explained. Functional tests aim to identify problems in the concept and implementation. To show the capability of the final model, two example use cases are illustrated: the inspection review of the entire bridge and a finite-element analysis of a single component. Main results are the definition of necessary damage data, an object-oriented damage model, which supports multiple use cases, and the implementation of the model in a standard. Furthermore, the tests have shown that the standard is suitable to deliver damage information; however, several software programs lack proper implementation of the standard.

A fully digitized workflow using open data formats would reduce data loss, efforts, and the costs of future inspections. On the one hand, existing studies proposed methods to automatize data acquisition and visualization for inspections. These studies lack an open standard to make the gathered data available for other processes. On the other hand, several studies discuss data structures for exchanging damage information among different stakeholders. However, those studies do not cover the process of automatic data acquisition and transfer. This study focuses on a framework that incorporates automatic damage data acquisition, transfer, and a damage information model for data exchange. This enables inspectors to use damage data for subsequent analyses and simulations. The proposed framework shows the potentials for a comprehensive damage information model and related (semi-)automatic data acquisition and processing.
