Optimizing Seismic Retrofitting Strategies via Building Information Modeling (BIM): A Case Study of a Villa Project

Seismic retrofitting plays a crucial role in enhancing the resilience of structures in earthquake-prone regions. Traditional retrofitting methods often face challenges such as extended project timelines, increased costs, and inefficiencies in execution. This study examines the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the seismic retrofitting process by analyzing a real-world villa project. The case involved a deviation in the construction of the structure where a five-meter cantilever was incorrectly constructed instead of the intended two-meter cantilever, requiring reinforcement and redesign. Using a comparative approach, the project was assessed under traditional methodologies and BIM-assisted procedures. BIM facilitated real-time design modifications, streamlined material procurement, and optimized execution planning, significantly reducing project delays. Findings indicate that the BIM-based approach improved communication among stakeholders, enhanced cost estimation accuracy, and minimized construction disruptions. The study highlights BIM's potential to refine seismic retrofitting strategies, offering an efficient framework for future resilience-focused projects.
