Abstract: Natural disasters such as earthquakes affect millions of people
and can cause significant damages to buildings and other structures.
Accurate and reliable information about buildings can greatly improve
post-disaster responses, such as search and rescue (S & R), repair and
recovery. Both S&R and recovery require rapid assessment of the damage to a
large number of buildings and other structures as accurate information is
needed to support decisions regarding S&R safety, habitability and repair
of these buildings and structures. Given the development of Building
Information Modelling (BIM), cloud storage, and various 3D imaging
technologies such as LiDAR and photogrammetry, much of the needed
information for S&R and recovery can be derived automatically or
semi-automatically, stored and delivered using BIM tools. Furthermore,
results of previous studies suggested that 3D imaging technologies offer
great potential for saving time and cost for identifying concrete cracks
and spalling in 3D point clouds. This webinar will discuss how 3D imaging
(both LiDAR and photogrammetry) and BIM based approaches can be leveraged
to advance post-disaster structural assessment practice, thus improve
post-disaster responses.
