Towards Building Geotechnical Information Modeling
As technology developed, the architecture, construction, and engineering (AEC) industry was introduced to high-performance materials, integrated building systems, and comprehensive processes to improve the performance quality of the built environment. As a consequence of that improved performance, the design phase of the building life-cycle became more complex and comprehensive with all the engineering analyses. To aid this process, many engineering analysis and simulation programs were designed. However, with the increase in all the various software, interoperability problems emerged during the information exchange process, which also decreased the efficiency of the design and construction phase. This paper includes the first step of interoperable prototype development for a three-step analysis. In the light of literature review, researchers identified a critical and scalable geotechnical problem that is studied on a use case in central Illinois. Geotechnical engineering analysis is found to be suitable to solve the limitations of interoperability between geotechnical data and building information modeling (BIM) efforts in construction. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by developing the basis of a geotechnical information model which creates through visualized soil boring logs. This virtual database is aimed to be used for calculation of soil volume, selection of excavation equipment based on cost and schedule information which is critical for excavation processes.
