Abstract: As an innovative tool in the construction industry, the advantages of BIM technology have been widely recognized, but the actual application and popularization of BIM have not met expectations. In this context, this paper conducts a questionnaire survey on the application of BIM technology in construction enterprises across the country, conducts in-depth interviews with leading construction enterprises in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan and other places as the focus of investigation, evaluates the current application status of BIM technology, and identifies obstacles affecting the application of BIM technology. Based on the TOE theory, an analytical framework for the application of BIM technology is established, and the causes of the formation of obstacles to the application of BIM technology are deeply analyzed from the three dimensions of external environment, organization, and technology. Combined with the current problems of BIM technology application found in the survey, from the macro level to the micro level, with industry-enterprise-tool as clues, a theoretical basis is provided for BIM technology obstacles, and corresponding solutions are provided for promoting the application and promotion of BIM technology. The study suggests accelerating the development of localized software, creating cross-platform and cross-cycle BIM software, and optimizing the user interface at the technical level. At the organizational level, strengthen the top-level design of enterprise digital transformation, encourage enterprise innovation, and accelerate the cultivation of compound talents. At the external environment level, improve legal support and incentive mechanisms to create a better industry ecological environment. The research results provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for the in-depth application of BIM technology in the construction industry, in order to promote the digital transformation of the industry.Abstract: As an innovative tool in the construction industry, the advantages of BIM technology have been widely recognized, but the actual application and popularization of BIM have not met expectations.

Abstract: Emergency Rescue Wooden Supports (ERWS) play a crucial role in preventing secondary collapse of severely damaged or partially collapsed structures. However, research on the mechanical properties of localized ERWS materials in China remains insufficient. This study focuses on Pinus sylvestris wood, commonly used in emergency rescue operations in China, to determine the mechanical parameters for the MAT_WOOD_PINE material model in LS-DYNA. First, tensile, compressive, and shear strength tests were conducted to obtain the fundamental mechanical parameters required for the MAT_WOOD_PINE model. Subsequently, a standard compressive specimen model was established in LS-DYNA to derive its stress-strain curve, which was validated against existing experimental results. A two-dimensional ERWS structural model was then developed, subjected to a uniform vertical load, and its maximum vertical load-bearing capacity was analyzed and compared with test results. The findings indicate that the derived strength parameters of Pinus sylvestriswood effectively validate the accuracy and reliability of the MAT_WOOD_PINE model in LS-DYNA. Furthermore, the failure modes of the two-dimensional ERWS model closely align with existing experimental observations, confirming the reasonableness of the simulation results. The peak load-bearing capacity obtained provides a scientific reference for the design and application of ERWS in practical emergency rescue scenarios, offering strong technical support for engineering rescue operations.Abstract: Emergency Rescue Wooden Supports (ERWS) play a crucial role in preventing secondary collapse of severely damaged or partially collapsed structures.
