Abstract
Prefabricated assemblies are popular in the construction industry due to their minimal carbon footprint, enhanced safety, and reliability. A combination of software, including Revit, Navisworks, and Practical Structural Design and Construction (PKPM) software, is used to reduce costs by refining the specifications and dimensions of components, streamlining the variety of molds, enhancing design performance through rigorous component collision inspections and structural optimization, and ensuring cost-effectiveness. The integration of building integration modeling (BIM) visualization significantly diminishes errors attributable to information asymmetry and minimized material wastage stemming from production inaccuracies. The implementation of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) information exchange platform enables real-time component tracking, provides insights into the transportation dynamics of these components, and facilitates cost optimization during the transportation phase. Moreover, simulations conducted using Fuzor software preemptively identify potential construction site issues. There is a substantial cost savings of 710,000 yuan.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
