IDM for the Conceptual Evaluation Process of Industrialized Timber Projects
Table 4
Minimum geometric parameters associated with the development of prefabricated timber projects.
Parameters
Descriptions
Exchange models (EMs)
Length
Minimum geometrical definition: it is also relevant to identify the lengths of the sole plates, to optimize the production tables, and the assembly of the packages for transport
EM_01–EM_05
Thickness
Minimum geometric definition. Like the previous attribute, it is also used for the configuration of the assembly tables in multiwalls
EM_01–EM_05
Height
Minimum geometric definition. Like the previous attribute, it is also used for the conformation of the reinforcement tables in multiwalls
EM_01–EM_05
Anchorage position
Relevant to perform in the manufacturing of the panels. In addition, it is a definition that involves the structural capacity of the panel according to its design
EM_03–EM_05
Position additional studs
Defines the position within the panel geometry relevant for correct panel assembly
EM_03 to EM_05
Panel floor
Location of the panel within the project (level). This information is relevant not only because it defines the position of the panel within the project but also because its correct assignment allows the control of the order and logistics on site, especially in large scale projects (midrise buildings, hospitals, etc.)
