Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of prestressed hollow slab design technology, and in particular to a BIM-based prestressed hollow slab design method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a new tool for architecture, engineering, and civil engineering; among them, the BIM platform is a computer-aided design platform that is mainly based on three-dimensional graphics, object-oriented, and related to architecture.
[0003] As a floor system, prestressed hollow slabs have advantages such as high quality, fast construction, strong load-bearing capacity, and green construction. With the development of prefabricated buildings, they are increasingly matched with frame structure systems and are more often used in the floor slabs of large-span, large-space public and residential buildings.
[0004] The prestressed hollow slabs are produced using advanced Finnish equipment on a long-line production line with a pre-tensioning method. They are formed by shearing and extrusion using automated equipment, and after reaching a certain strength, they are released as a whole. The slabs are then cut into sections according to the design length requirements of the components using fully automated cutting equipment, and finally hoisted to the storage yard for natural curing.
[0005] Currently, with the development of prestressed hollow core slabs, there is no clear approach to the process design of the entire hollow core slab system. Solving these problems requires significantly promoting the in-depth development of hollow core slabs. Existing issues include: 1. Hollow core slabs have not been used in my country for long, resulting in a lack of relevant guidelines for their design and construction; 2. Hollow core slab layout design; 3. The calculation of quantities is cumbersome, and the modification process and subsequent modifications significantly increase the workload; moreover, improper design can easily lead to safety hazards and material waste; 4. Insufficient team collaboration. For different specialized formwork designs within the same project, if the various teams do not communicate in a timely manner, duplicate designs often occur at complex node locations, reducing the efficiency of project design and construction.
[0006] Before designing prestressed hollow slabs, factors such as component connection nodes, support lengths, design bearing capacity, and whether there are post-cast strips are determined, which is generally done through CAD layout design. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a BIM-based design method for prestressed hollow slabs, solving the problem of the lack of existing hollow slab system design.
[0008] The technical solution is a BIM-based design method for prestressed hollow slabs, comprising the following steps:
[0009] S1. Create a BIM model of the steel frame or concrete frame;
[0010] S2. Provide the designer with a BIM database for prestressed hollow slabs, including parameter information such as thickness, allowable load table, unit weight, thermal conductivity, and fire rating for selectable parameters;
[0011] S3. Determine the design load value of each frame axis span in the frame: Determine the design load value of each axis span in each floor as the live load value, without considering the self-weight of the slab and the weight of the grout;
[0012] S4. Preliminary determination of the thickness of the prestressed hollow slab;
[0013] S5. Determine the preliminary layout direction of the prestressed hollow slabs: When the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse lengths of each span in each layer is less than 1.5, arrange them according to the long span direction; when the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse lengths of each span in each layer is greater than 1.5, arrange them according to the short span direction.
[0014] S6. Determine the directional arrangement of the cross plates for each axis;
[0015] S7. Determine the reinforcement of each slab across each axis in each floor. If increasing the reinforcement of each slab across each axis cannot meet the load requirements, return to S4, redetermine the thickness of the prestressed hollow slab, and redetermine the reinforcement of each slab across each axis based on the redetermined thickness of the prestressed hollow slab.
[0016] S8. Based on the connection nodes and water and electricity requirements, perform preliminary layout and optimization to determine the final prestressed hollow slab simply supported layout: Based on the design requirements of the connection nodes, determine the support length, the method of handling the missing corner of the prestressed hollow slab, the node treatment of non-standard sections, and the optimization of the position of the post-pouring strip. Using the plan view as the main interface, form a layout of one header, one stretcher, or a combination of header and stretcher by closely splicing the slabs together.
[0017] S9. Ensure the accuracy of the arrangement of prestressed hollow slabs. Specifically, use collision checks to check beams, columns, and walls that may come into contact with the hollow slabs to ensure the accuracy of the hollow slab arrangement.
[0018] S10. Accurately determine the location of water and electricity pipes in hollow slabs and the location of openings below the slab holes. The principle of water and electricity pipe layout is: water and electricity pipes should be laid through the upper and lower lines of the wall as much as possible, or horizontal pipes should be laid through the holes in the hollow slab, and then the wiring should be completed by turning up the end of the hollow slab and passing through the openings at the bottom of the hollow slab holes.
[0019] S11. Output key information data reports for the prestressed hollow slabs of the entire project, including technical parameters such as hollow slab thickness, actual length, quantity, reinforcement parameters, concrete strength grade, protective layer thickness, and information on hollow slab corner type, quantity, installation direction, and opening location;
[0020] S12. Calculate the technical parameters of hollow slabs using an Excel spreadsheet to create a production and processing table for each production line. Specifically, calculate the initial tension value, elongation, and corresponding tension force of the steel strands, and combine this with the production line length limitations to output hollow slabs with the same reinforcement and thickness along a single line, thus creating a production and processing table.
[0021] S13. Output the production and processing schedule to the factory and carry out standardized assembly line production;
[0022] S14. A QR code is generated through the input of the production management system. A unique QR code is generated for each board, and various data parameters are stored in it. At the same time, according to the installation needs of the hollow board, the area and location information of the hollow board are extracted for inventory management and transportation.
[0023] S15. Precise on-site construction and installation: During on-site construction, installation information is obtained through QR codes to carry out precise on-site construction and installation.
[0024] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: Compared with the traditional CAD design and production model, 1) it optimizes the prestressed hollow slab from the design stage, greatly improving design and production efficiency; 2) during the design phase, this invention optimizes the reinforcement parameters of the slab by adhering to the principle that the allowable load value of the slab is less than or close to the design load value, thus reducing costs; 3) by limiting the longitudinal and transverse length ratios of each span of each floor, and based on the premise of meeting the bearing capacity, it quickly realizes the layout scheme of the same thickness hollow floor slabs in a head-and-groove configuration according to the principle of maximizing the span. This scheme reduces the number of slab cuts and improves the slab processing efficiency; 4) this invention simulates the installation and construction of hollow slabs in actual projects, resolving potential problems such as collisions, water and electricity openings, and post-pouring strip treatment in advance in the model, and conducting secondary detailed design for any problems that arise. It also completes the processing of hollow slabs with special requirements in advance on the factory assembly line, greatly reducing the workload of secondary operations on the construction site and effectively improving the accuracy of construction; 5) the integration and analysis of data enables seamless connection from the design stage to the production and construction stages, ensuring efficient production and precise construction.
