Abstract:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has only been in use for a decade. BIM has changed from a visualization tool used by architects to communicate design ideas to infiltrating every discipline in the construction industry. Nowhere is that more evident than the concrete industry, where concrete contractors have proven that building 3-D project models leads to better structures with less waste, lower contingencies, and more efficiency. New technologies and practices are already growing in use, and others are on the way.

Building information modeling (BIM) has been introduced into the design and construction industry over the last decade. BIM users benefit from completing even the most complex projects on time and within budget. Yet, many structural engineering firms hesitate to maximize the potential of BIM due to fear of increased liability and risk related to sharing models. In this article, the author explains why this fear is unfounded and how using constructible BIM can help

Extremely low water-cementitious materials ratios are often specified for slab-on-ground construction, making it unnecessarily difficult for workers to properly finish the slab and increasing the tendency of the slab to crack. In this article, the origin of this requirement is traced back to misinterpretation of code provisions dating back to 1956, and the proper specification of concrete properties in floor slabs is discussed.
