Project 1

AIM & INTRODUCTION

As we know BIM is information Modelling & information Management in a team environment. All team members work to the same standards. BIM creats value from the combined efforts of people, Process & technology.

An important aspects of BIM is the concept of parametric objects, these objects consist of geometric definitions & associated data & rules, have rules that determine when a particular change violates object feasibility regarding size,manufacturibility etc. Have the ability to link to or receive, export sets of attributes to other applications & Models.

There is a Level of Maturity comes into consideration which is the process of moving the AEC industry to full collaborative working in progress.The broad concept is to define the level of BIM from 0 to 3.

By considering the important aspect of BIM we will commence a model an Architechtural Residential apartment with respective structural model for the same. By using Revit we will model the project with step by step procedure.

Project Description

A multi-storey Residential apartment is of 7 storeys with stilt parking facility.Each floor has Four 3BHK units (3 Bed rooms [10 sqm, 13 sqm, 9 sqm], 1 Living cum Dining [ 30 sqm] , Kitchen [ 10 sqm] , Utility [5 sqm] , Three Toilet [3 sqm each] , Sitout [12 sqm]. All four units connected by corridor of area 54 sqm. For access to upper floors a staircase [ 6 sqm] & a Lift [3 sqm] provided. For exterior view 1.5m width cantilever projection is there in each floor. stilt floor height is 5 m & each typical floor has a height of 3m.

In Stilt Floor a drive way acquring area of 920 sqm & parking [378 sqm] is planned. A guard room is provided in Stilt which acquire 15 sqm. A play area is designed with 368 sqm area.

Total project area 1937 sqm is surrounded by a Boundary wall. Its route access is connected to a 10m wide road .

We will see the 3D visualization of all what we described above by using architechtural elements. In addition to that we wil model the structural elements with reinforcement. Further more BOQ and Layout will be printed trade wise.

All step by step procedures are explained below.

PROCEDURE FOR ARCHITECHTURAL MODEL

Opening An Architechtural Template & Creating Levels & Grids

• Revit home page > New Model > Architechtural Template

• For stilt side walk level we have drawn a sectiona to get the idea of elevation of the floor as we can see in attached images.

Site Plan - Roads, Side walks, Curbs, site components

• To represent the topography of the site ,created a topo surface in site plan.
• Project Browser > Floor plan > Clicked on site plan > Massing & Site Tab > Model Site Panel > Topo surface > Placed Points in site plan drawing area for creating a surface > Finish

PROCEDURE FOR STRUCTURAL MODEL

Linking of The Architechtural File:

• Revit home page > New Model > structural Template
• Insert > Link revit > browsed arch. file
• Before started working on that the architechtural view pinned.
• south elevation > aligned existing level with the architechtural level
• Structural plan Level-01 > collaborate tab > copy/monitor > select link > section box clicked
• Options > Levels > ok > copy > checked in multiple > selected all in view > filter >checked in chcek none > checked in level > ok > Finish
• Similarly grids copied from architechural file to structural file .Collaborate tab > copy/monitor > select link > section box clicked >Options > grids > ok > copy > checked in multiple > selected all in view > filter >checked in chcek none > checked in grid > ok > Finish
• Levels Named as footing ,plinth Level,First Floor, Second Floor, Third Floor as so on as in Architechtural file.
• Elevation view > levels /grids selected individually > pinned

Placing Of Structural Elements:

Column

• Clicked Plinth level > structure tab > column > desired size selected at the top of the properties palette > placed individually by aligning to wall location in linking architechtural file.
• Adjusted the column base constraint as Plinth Level & top constraint as Terrace or LMR/Headroom as needed in properties palatte as per requirement.

PedestaL

• Clicked Plinth level > structure tab > column > selected the desired size > placed concentric to column
• Keeping the pedestal base constraint as Footing & top constraint as PLinth Level in properties palatte.
• set the view range in property browser for proper visibility of structural element.

• Structural wall

• Clicked structural footing plan > structure tab > structural wall > drew wall for lift pit & plinth boundary wall.

• set the base constraint & top constraint in properties palatte as per requirement as we can see in attched image below.

• Foundation (Isolated,Combined,Mat)

• Clicked Structural footing plan > structure tab > Foundation panel > isolated > size selected > placed concentric to column
• set the base constraint as structural footing & base offset as depth of footing & top constraint as structural footing in properties palatte for proper placing in layout.
• As isolated foundation overlapped with each other so combined footing and Mat footing created as requied as we can see in layout.
• set the view range in property browser for proper visibility of structural element.

  wall Foundation

• Clicked Sturctural footing plan > structure tab > Foundation panel > wall > size selected > clicked at the bottom edge of the wall for placing foundation below the wall
• set the base constraint as structural footing & base offset 1' & top constraint as structural footing in properties palatte for proper placing in layout.
• set the view range in property browser for proper visibility of structural element.
• For individual view directed to visibility graphic and uncheck the respective element didn't want to show in view.

Plinth Beam

• Clicked plinth level plan > structure tab > beam > size selected > drew pedestal c/c
• set view range in properties palette for visilbility of beams in Plinth level plan
• Beams are tagged by types and mark label together.

Plinth Structural Slab

• Clicked plinth level plan > structure tab > Floor structural > desired slab thickness selected > drew the floor by taking rectangle & pedestal surrounding is selected by picking line from modify tab for slab bonding to pedestal > Finish
• 3d view > wall slected in view >right click >select similar instance in view > modify/walls tab modify > wall panel attach Top
• selected the floor slab > Edit Boundary > shaft provided for Lift > Finish

First Floor Beam

• Clicked First Floor level plan > structure tab > beam > size selected > drew column c/c

Copy Structural element from one level to next level

• Clicked first floor level plan > selected one column> right click > select all instance in view > changed the top constrain to Terrace or LMR/Head Room as required.
• Clicked first floor level plan > selected all in view> filter > checked in check none > checked in beam > apply >ok > copy with clipboard > paste into assigned selected level (second floor level)
• Opened second floorlevel to recheck the position of beams and deleted some beams as we didn't need in second floor plan.
• Structure tab > Floor structural > desired slab thickness selected > drew the floor by clicking pick line & column surrounding is selected by picking line from modify tab for slab bonding to column > Finish
• As second floor plan is typical upto Terrace so sturucural element (Beam & slab) slected and copied to selected level ( From Third floor to Terrace floor).
• For staircase, shaft level increased just above the terrace level by dragging the shaft box extension arrow upward in 3d view.

Addition of Reinforcement to Structural Element

As structural model created let's opt for placing of reinforcement.

• Structure > Reinforcement Panel > Rebar Cover setting > Add > Renamed the description as Foundation /Wall/Column/Beam/Slab cover and value defined.
