Abstract

Abstract: Automatic compliance checking(ACC)of architectural design based on BIM and ontology technologies is of great significance in the field of intelligent construction. Most of the relevant research focused on the development of the code-compliance checking tools targeting specific standards and specifications， lacking the systematic and structured analysis of compliance checking rules(CCR)and the construction of the corresponding mapping toward BIM data. Taking 28 national standards for architectural design and green building as the research object， the CCR definition methods were analyzed， the statistical CCR classification was obtained， and the corresponding expression model based on the IFC standard was constructed. Considering the insufficient information in the BIM model， a method to fulfill semantic enrichment based on ontology and IFC attribute sets extension was proposed to optimize the overall code-compliance checking process of the BIM model. The optimized process was demonstrated and verified by applying the CCR of the design code for archives buildings and on the BIM model of an archives project.
