Abstract: Since 2016, the frequency and scale of earthquakes have been rapidly increasing in South Korea. In particular, the damage caused by the Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes has attracted considerable attention since 2017, leading to changes in social insensitivity to safety and the perception of seismic damage to facilities. However, the current risk assessment technology for earthquake-damaged buildings is subjective and inaccurate, as it is based on visual inspection for a limited time. Accordingly, this study focuses on improving the method of analysis of disaster-damaged buildings. To this end, the study analyzes the risk factors of earthquake-damaged buildings by comparing point cloud data using 3D scanning technology with Building Information Modeling (BIM) spatial information, which is based on the existing design information. To apply this technology, existing design information was acquired through BIM modeling of the existing 2D design drawings of Building E in the Daeseong Apartment Complex (located in Heunghae-eup, Pohang City). This study is expected to contribute to improving the efficiency of measurement technology for earthquake-damaged buildings by analyzing old buildings’ BIM-based 3D modeling visualization information without drawing information, and thus improving the accuracy of seismic damage risk measurement by scanning point cloud data.
