Popis: The design of universal segments and deviation control of segment assembly are essential for robust and low-risk tunnel construction. A building information modeling (BIM)-based framework was proposed for parametric modeling, automatic assembly, and deviation control of universal segments. First, segment models of different levels of detail (LoDs) were built based on BIM visual programming language (VPL) for different project life cycles. Then, the geometric constraints, requirements, and procedures for parametric segment assembly were distilled to develop a program that combines a novel typesetting algorithm with a 3D path replanning algorithm. Typesetting is implemented by introducing a point indication matrix, characterizing segments by sides, and manipulating geometries in a VPL. Simultaneously, 3D path replanning, with non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) and arcs as basic shapes, was used to resolve unacceptable deviation situations after typesetting. Finally, the proposed framework was validated on a water diversion line and was found to be more effective and accurate than the previous method.
