The impact of computer intelligence on the models of constructions' design

Abstract

Most building constructions made of various materials are assembled from standard items (reinforcement bars, steel profiles or wooden products). Their dimensions and shapes are known, therefore, the process can be formalized. This enables automation of many actions, as well as direct data transfer from a standard or catalogue into commands, which can be used in the process of project development and control. However, the existing standards of ferroconcrete reinforcement are presented in an unstructured form and cannot be used directly in computer science. The rational computer-aided application could be provided only on condition that the data would be structured and formalized in advance, which enables transformation of textual recommendations into digital models and commands. The paper addresses the problem of modelling of this process, which could enable the application of information technologies to using the data of the standards based on the abilities provided by computer intelligence.
