Abstract
ABSTRACTThe geometric quality of precast concrete (PC) elements is critical in the construction and management of prefabricated construction. However, traditional manual inspection is time-consuming, inaccurate and costly. Therefore, an effective and low-cost non-contact inspection method is needed to support the geometric quality inspection of PC elements as a way to improve inspection efficiency and accuracy. In this study, an intuitive, effective and inexpensive geometric quality inspection method is proposed to evaluate the geometric quality of PC elements using 3D structural light scanning technology. The proposed method fits the point cloud data model of PC elements to the design model, visualizes the range of dimensional deviation of the whole element by the generated deviation chromatogram, and then evaluates the overall geometric quality of PC elements based on the local absolute deviation distance and the average deviation distance. The evaluation results classify PC elements into qualified products, partially unqualified products and severely defective products, which can be directly used to guide the treatment of unqualified products. The method is highly integrated with realistic construction and has a strong practical value. This study enriches the means of assessing the geometric quality of PC elements and shows potential for implementation in real practice.KEYWORDS: Geometric quality assessmentstructural light scanningprecast concretedeviation chromatogram3D reconstruction AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by the Fujian Provincial Department of Science and Technology (Grant Number: 2021I0014) and the Xiamen Municipal Construction Bureau (Grant Number: XJK2022-1-7).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
Informative and accessible, this publication analyses and discusses the integration of the main stages within the process of design and construction and multidisciplinary collaborative working between the different professionals involved. Ideal for practitioners and academics alike, Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines specific topics on architectural technology, engineering design, building performance and building design management to highlight the interfaces between them and bridge the gap between architectural abstraction and engineering practice. Coverage includes: -Integration of architectural and engineering design -Integration of building design and construction -Building design management; planning and co-ordination, information and knowledge management, vale engineering and value management -Collaborative working and collaborative visualisation in building design -Architectural technology -Sustainable architecture -Building thermal, aural, visual and structural performance -Education and architectural engineering This journal is a valuable resource for professionals and academics (teachers, researchers and students) involved in building design and construction, including the following disciplines: -Architecture -Building Engineering -Building Service Engineering -Building Physics -Design Management and Design Coordination -Facilities Management Published papers will report on both fundamental research dealing with theoretical work and applied research dealing with practical issues and industrial innovations. In this way, readers explore the interaction between technical considerations and management issues.
