The future of the construction industry and built environment
Digital Twins in Construction and the Built Environment comprehensively explores digital twin systems, practical challenges, and successful implementations. Sponsored by the ASCE Global Center for Excellence in Computing Committee of the Computing Division of ASCE and edited by Houtan Jebelli, Ph.D. et al., the book highlights how digital twin technology revolutionizes the construction industry and built environment across the life cycle.
Amidst the explosive growth of our digital world, the concept of digital twins and digital twin models for construction projects and across the built environment is emerging as a transformative tool that holds significant value for many stakeholders. Digital twins refer to digitized representations of physical objects, physical assets, system processes, and supply chains incorporating real-time data, sensor data, and virtual simulations to mirror physical counterparts.
As the next leap beyond building information modeling or BIM, digital twin technology is rapidly gaining traction in various sectors, particularly in construction, where it offers many benefits that can enhance project efficiency, sustainability, and performance. Some of the many topics and benefits of digital twins featured in the new American Society of Civil Engineers book Digital Twins in Construction and the Built Environment include:
- “Invariant signatures of AEC objects;
- Digital twin-enabled health monitoring;
- Digital twin-based ergonomic risk assessment framework;
- Requirements-driven approach to designing digital twin implementations;
- System architectures definition for operational digital twins;
- Digital twin applications for building energy and carbon performance;
- Digital twin framework using LSTM encode-decode model;
- Case study of digital twin development of the Weihai Port;
- Digital twins for predictive maintenance, conservation, and rehabilitation of historical buildings; and,
- Practical applications and challenges of digital twins for bridges and structures.”
