Q1. List three types of support condition in structural analysis.

Three types of support condition in structural analysis are : a. Pinned

b. Rollers
c. Fixed Q2. List five types of quality checking in BIM. 1. self check (the quality of a model itself) 2. coordination check (clash check between different models) 3. version check (comparison between old and new models) 4. automatic check (checking by software using Rule Sets) 5. numerical check (extracting and analyzing the numerical data)

Q3. What is significance of Reports in BIM quality checking?

The significance of Reports in BIM quality checking is mainly for Design Considerations , Design Development, Building System Coordination and Construction stages. Documenting and communicating the finding of the quality checking process to the project members should be included in the Reports. It is also used to assign the duty of project and technical team for corrective action as well as to collaborate among different disciplines for clash detection information in the project.

Q4. List two benefits for QS when they use BIM.

1. Evaluate Alternatives Real-time cost comparisons fo building envelopes, MEP systems, structural systems, levels of interior finish out and landscaping proportions.

2. Save Time & Money A way of saving costs associated with producing conceptual budgets. 5D BIM can reduce 92% of man power reduction than the time and man power of traditional estimating.

Q5. One of the BIM file exchange formats for sustainability and energy analysis is DXF , List down the usage of DXF file . The usage of DXF file:

-Calculating Shadows and overshadowing -Calculating Air Flow and Ventilation -Calculating Ligting and daylight analysis -Calculating External Solar availability.
