  1. Information Technology for Construction(Cast-in-place Concrete Pile) Done by Chang-sun Chin

  2. Background Traditionally construction process information is communicated with paper documents and 2D CAD drawings Popularity of web-based project information systems Information still uses document-based model Transition to model-based information accessible through web-based 3D user interface

  3. The U.S. Construction Industry In 1997, The total volume of construction (new, renovation, maintenance and repair added) = about $995 billion (12. 3 % of the GDP) New construction only = $618 billion Federal construction = 10 % of U.S. construction * Source : National Science and Technology Council Report (1999)

  4. The U.S. Construction Industry (Cont’d) * Source : National Science and Technology Council Report (1999)

  5. Conventional Construction Process Information Isolated paper documents - Only to show the work procedure; not effective to assess, plan the site activities, and processes…

  6. Virtual Reality Modeling Provide the Visual representation and simulation of construction and building related models, activities, and processes – forecast the site condition exactly and prepare the possible problems… * Source : National Institute of Standards and Technology

  7. Expected Effects From mobilization to execution, it will be possible to plan and array the equipment / manpower in the right place timely as per the schedule Anticipate how well the execution plan can be applied for some of the issues related to construction site activities and procedure etc. Reduce / minimize the equipment idle times due to the unexpected problem Prevent the possible accidents beforehand due to the wrong operation of equipment
