Development and application of an HBIM method for timber structures integrated with digital technologies
Source abstract
Abstract
This research proposes an HBIM method that integrates multiple digital technologies to improve the utilization rate of HBIM models in the digital preservation of ancient architecture, thereby effectively enhance the efficiency and quality of conservation work. By employing techniques such as 3D laser scanning, UAV surveying, and finite element simulation analysis, the study accurately acquires data on the architectural form and structural dimensions of ancient buildings. Through this model, the study achieves three-dimensional digital archiving of ancient architecture, mechanical analysis of the overall structure, and simulation of plans. Practice has shown that HBIM technology can provide comprehensive and scientific data support and decision-making basis for the conservation of ancient architecture. It offers valuable practical references for the digital preservation of ancient architecture and has significant practical significance and promotional value.
