Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to ring beams and lintels in building engineering, specifically, a quality inspection method for ring beams and lintels based on Dynamo. Background Technology

[0002] In building construction, the installation of ring beams and lintels is crucial to the quality and safety of the project. For walls 180-200mm thick, when the wall height is 4m < wall height ≤ 6m, a 150mm high ring beam is required at the midpoint of the wall height or above door / window openings. For walls 90-120mm thick, when the wall height is 2.0m < wall height ≤ 3.0m, a brick sill is required at the midpoint of the wall height; when the wall height is 3.0m < wall height ≤ 6m, a 150mm high ring beam is required at the midpoint of the wall height. Additionally, for openings wider than 300mm, a reinforced concrete lintel is required above the opening. However, traditional inspection methods rely on manual measurement. Faced with large amounts of data and complex on-site environments, this is prone to errors and inaccuracies, severely impacting project progress and quality, and failing to meet the efficiency and accuracy requirements of modern project management. Traditional ring beam and lintel inspection methods often rely on manual measurement, which is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, especially in complex or large-scale projects, often leading to reduced accuracy and efficiency in auditing. Traditional detection methods have the following main problems: 1. Low accuracy: Manual measurement may result in deviations in measurement results due to improper operation, tool errors, etc., which may affect the implementation of design standards.

[0003] 2. Low efficiency: Manual measurement and data recording are cumbersome, especially in large projects, consuming a lot of time and human resources.

[0004] 3. Difficulty in data centralization: On site, ring beams and lintels are often scattered in various locations, making data collection and analysis difficult and increasing the complexity of the process.

[0005] To solve this problem, an efficient, accurate, and automated detection method is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to propose a Dynamo-based method for inspecting the quality of ring beams and lintels, which improves inspection efficiency and quality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: A Dynamo-based method for inspecting the quality of ring beams and lintels is proposed. In engineering construction, for walls 180-200mm thick, when the wall height is 4m < wall height ≤ 6m, a 150mm high ring beam needs to be installed at the midpoint of the wall height or above door / window openings. For walls 90-120mm thick, when the wall height is 2.0m < wall height ≤ 3.0m, a brick sill needs to be installed at the midpoint of the wall height; when the wall height is 3.0m < wall height ≤ 6m, a 150mm high ring beam needs to be installed at the midpoint of the wall height. Additionally, for openings wider than 300mm, a reinforced concrete lintel needs to be installed above the opening. The method is characterized by the following steps: a. Data initialization: Data initialization involves selecting the model and starting the data entry function in the Dynamo program; b. Filtering primitive components, including the following steps: (1) Processing of graphic elements selected by box selection; (2) Filter secondary structural walls, ring beams or brick sills and create solid bodies; (3) Simultaneously filter the beam structure frame and door and window components with a width greater than 300mm and create a solid body; c. Determine whether the graphic elements intersect, including the following steps: (1) Use Dynamo scripts to determine whether the wall intersects with the ring beam or the brick sill. (2) Use Dynamo scripts to determine whether the structural frame and door / window components intersect; d. Output data reports, including the following steps: (1) If the wall intersects with the ring beam or the brick sill, it is deemed qualified and the quality inspection ends; if they do not intersect, output the ID information, type name, wall height and thickness information of the non-intersecting wall. (2) If the structural frame intersects with the door and window components, it is deemed qualified and the quality inspection ends; if they do not intersect, output the ID information, type name, wall height, and thickness information of the non-intersecting door and window components.

[0008] The Dynamo-based ring beam lintel quality inspection method of the present invention can be further implemented by the following technical measures.

[0009] In the aforementioned method, the secondary structural wall includes an inner wall, and the thickness of the inner wall is greater than 89 mm.

[0010] After adopting the above technical solution, the Dynamo-based ring beam lintel quality inspection method of the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Automated Processing: Dynamo scripts can automatically extract element and component location data from Revit models, reducing manual intervention and achieving fast and efficient data acquisition and processing. This automated process not only improves the accuracy of inspection but also significantly enhances work efficiency. 2. Batch processing capability: Dynamo scripts can batch process the inspection of multiple components, reducing the tedious process of inspecting individual components one by one. Whether it is a single project or multiple projects in parallel, the scripts can effectively manage and process large amounts of data. 3. Results recording and review: The script can be set to automatically record the test results to a specified location, which facilitates future review and data auditing. At the same time, through data archiving, it can provide reference and comparison for subsequent construction. 4. Data visualization: Dynamo scripts can be used to display the test results in a visual way, presenting qualified and unqualified components in the form of charts or annotations, making it easy for on-site staff to quickly grasp the information.
