Detection and Monitoring of Pyrotechnic Event Consequences on Non-blast Resist Buildings : Use of Building Information Re-Modeling and Scientific Realm of Pyrotechnic Formulas

Abstract

Architecture and science are alleged to be two different worlds, whereas some great common ground realms are generated with their combination, likewise, some marvelous creations, and scientifically based architectural models too. These creations are subjected to many different areas (i.e., structural, electrical, mechanical) to meet congenitally the users’ empathy and withstand their occupancy experience. However, in terms of incident and abnormal events, pyrotechnic event study isn’t often considered from an architectural point of view. It may be researched through either theoretical or experimental-applied methods. Moreover, study models and numerical simulations have been introduced for the pyrotechnic event consequences and behavior - especially for blast-resist products, particular bodies formation and fragmentation if any, those are for a specific purpose only. So, Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology can guide the practitioners to synchronizearchitectural model or via cloud service with various simulation-based software, that could give them high precise results and manifestation of their model. This paper introduces a new process of graphical formula-driven model and re-model using Building Information Re-Modeling (BIMr) technology. Remodeling here points to the real-time calculated data that control the whole model instantly, and many questions can be considered, such as: How can this model be scripted or programmed for calculating this data? How can it architecturally diagnose the consequences induced by an incident pyrotechnic event on non-blast resist buildings?
