Through those efforts, ACI has recognized the need for a technical committee and created ACI 131, <em>BIM of Concrete Structures<\/em>. The primary goal of this committee is to create a global data exchange for BIM in cast-in-place concrete construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work of ACI committee 131 has continued to make an impact,\u201d said founding chair of ACI 131, Peter Carrato. \u201cWhile much more still remains, I\u2019m pleased to see the dedication of the committee members and industry supporters alike in achieving our shared vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The committee has completed two phases of a project to develop standards known as Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs), which are open, international standard data models for exchange of data in BIM and will permit interoperability among current and future software platforms and programs. The donations from SDC will support Phase Three of the project, which involves the translation of the three most beneficial engineering models, reinforcement placement sequence, structural design, and construction reference schedule into exchange software. It would require $200,000 to complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American Concrete Institute (ACI) Foundation\u2019s Strategic Development Council (SDC) is matching
