Integration Of Real Time Pile Design By Means Of Building Information Modeling-Video

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation demonstrates integrating pile design analysis into a parametric BIM workflow using Revit and Dynamo. A shared, responsive model connects pile geometry, soil-layer and CPT data, calculations, schedules, and visualizations, reducing rework when designs change. The system evaluates individual piles and the overall foundation, providing immediate feedback on utilization, settlement, cost, CO₂ impact, and code compliance. Designers can interactively adjust pile dimensions or model geometry and explore trade-offs or optimization opportunities, including complex soil geometries. Future work includes extending the approach to other foundation types, improving calculation speed, and standardizing data descriptions for broader adoption.
