On December 1st, a team of Ajou University's Department of Civil System Engineering students (Soo Ro Yoon, Ha Jeong Chung, and Yoon Jeong Bae) won the Grand Prize at the 2018 Korean Institute of Building Information Modeling Contest


The Contest was held under the theme "How to Utilize Various Buildings’ Information Based on BIM (Building Information Modeling)." Award winners were selected based on their presentations. BIM, a leading technology for smart construction in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is a digital model that represents the shapes and properties of buildings based on a three-dimensional data model.


The Ajou University team conducted Value Engineering of Daryong Railway Bridge located in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, through BIM information under the theme "Bridge VE through BIM." VE (Value Engineering) refers to the activities of analyzing the quality, endurance, and appearance of buildings required to realize a set of functions, including design, construction, and maintenance, at the minimum cost, and then make necessary improvements to achieve them.


The students conducted a three-dimensional construction simulation with the CIM (Civil Information Management) program made by Midas IT and proposed recommended routes for cranes and the optimal construction from the perspective of process management and economic feasibility.


Ha Jeong Chung said, "BIM and VE are expected to be increasingly important as a way to secure competitiveness as buildings are becoming larger and more complicated, sophisticated, and automated." 


Earlier in November, the student team received the KICT President Award for its BIM work at the 2018 BIM Awards co-hosted by Building Smart Korea and KICT (Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology).
