Defects in offsite construction: timber module prefabrication

The construction industry is based on craftsmanship. Quality control and assurance procedures applied in manufacturing cannot usually be readily applied in construction, where there are higher degrees of uniqueness in each project. One category of companies, industrialized housebuilders, is attempting to bridge some of the gaps between construction and manufacturing. These companies prefabricate building modules for later assembly at the building site. Since they are wholly responsible for large parts of the building process, these companies have greater opportunities to control and improve quality in a more consistent way than ordinary construction companies. Thus, it could be hypothesized that the frequency and severity of defects should be lower in industrialized housing than in ordinary construction. The aim of the study presented here is to examine this hypothesis by measuring and characterizing defects in industrialized housing. The design and manufacturing processes at two Swedish timber module prefabrication firms has been analysed through interviews, site visits and document reviews. Quality audits from three phases of the building process were compiled, analysed and categorized to provide statistical measures of defects in industrialized housing. The results show that the case study companies are better in terms of product quality than conventional housing.

BIM技术在结构设计中的应用问题探讨

从IFC标准、Revit API两个方面进行了数据交换测试,结果表明:采用IFC标准可以完成结构物理模型的数据交换;基于Revit API二次开发的接口主要进行结构分析模型的交换,交换结果因结构体系不同而不同,存在诸如三维实体节点向分析节点难以简化等问题。针对平法问题,应当拓展IFC功能或开发Revit平法插件,实现结构设计软件配筋结果的回传和平法标注与实体配筋的相互驱动。
