1 Introduction

Prefabricated building is one of the important directions ofbuilding structure development which is conducive to thedevelopment of building industrialization As a crucial partof the prefabricated concrete (PC) structure the quality ofprefabricated components plays an important role in theoverall structural performance [1] In terms of the splicingstructure of prefabricated components if the size of pre-fabricated components is too large it would be difficult toassemble and if the size is too small the joints betweencomponents would be too large causing water seepageproblems From the aspect of stress performance whenanalyzing the reliability of the structure according to theprobability limit state design method the failure probabilityof the structural part or its corresponding reliability index isused as the measurement and the geometrical dimension

variable is one of the aspects that affect the resistance of thestructural part Moreover contemporary buildings havebecome lighter and more vulnerable to building movementand subsequent geometric changes [2] e lack of uni-formity of accuracy between factory-made and in-situcomponents and the higher level of building movements inthe contemporary building are two major factors that affectthe dimensional and geometric accuracy of buildings [3]e conversion of a good design into a good product (eg abuilding) is a matter of keeping dimensional and geometricvariations within tolerances that are predetermined at thedesign stage [4] e acceptability of a product depends onwhether its variations in size and geometry fall within setlimits thus the bridge between design and production istolerance In other words tolerances interlink design withconstruction because without specifying the tolerances it isnot clear whether components and subassemblies (ie

connections of two or more components) meet the designintent regarding the accuracy of the final product [5]

At present there are many quality control standards forfabricated components such as German DIN18203 andDIN18202 standards Japanese JASS10 American MNL-116and ACI regulations and Chinese standards GBT51231-2016 and GBT 51232-2016 [6ndash10] Each standard specifiesthe dimensional deviation of prefabricated componentsese standards usually determine the allowable value ofdimensional deviation based on traditional experiences [11]and the deviation allowable value for prefabricated com-ponents is strictly controlled and appropriately modifiedbased on the relevant specifications of cast-in-place concreteScholars do not pay attention to the prefabricated compo-nent manufacturersrsquo production capacity and have notsystematically investigated the dimensional deviation ofprefabricated components [12] To determine the reliabilityof the concrete structure design in the 1970s and 1980s [13]a survey of the size deviation of cast-in-place concretestructures was conducted in China [13] Liu et al [11]conducted the statistical investigation on the size deviationof cast-in-place concrete structures in Beijing and suggestedadjusting the size deviation acceptance index while Mao andShi [14] conducted the statistical investigation and analysison the section size and axis position of cast-in-place concretestructures and they believed that the deviation of concretesection size obeys the normal distribution yet the axisposition deviation obeys the logarithmic distributionNowadays there are many types of research on the sizedeviation of cast-in-situ structures but there are quite fewstatistical studies on the size deviation of prefabricatedconcrete components erefore it is of great significance tosystematically investigate the size deviation of fabricatedcomponents

In this paper the dimensions of fabricated concretecomponents of different companies in China are measuredby 3D photogrammetry technology obtaining a database ofwall board composite slab beam and column size devia-tion e dimensional deviation distribution characteristicsof fabricated components are analyzed

2 Data Acquisition

21 Overview of Sample Acquisition e focus is mainly onthe component forms existing in prefabricated buildingstructures beams columns wall panels and compositeslabs In terms of survey objects components produced byprefabricated component factories in different regions ofChina are mainly selected Random sampling is used foreach type of component Detailed information about thenumber of survey samples is shown in Table 1

22 Measurement Method Prefabricated building produc-tion and installation have higher precision requirementsthan traditional cast-in-situ concrete structures e tradi-tional measurement method for prefabricated concretebuildings is mainly using steel rulers and there are problemswith the use of steel rulers in measuring the dimensions of

prefabricated concrete components such as insufficientaccuracy large errors and difficulty in measuring the edgecorners of the component dimensions e HL-3DP is amedium-range photogrammetry scanner type It wasdesigned for medium-space applications such as buildingcivil and survey and forensics ree-dimensional photo-grammetry known as HL-3DP was applied for prefabricatedconcrete and the scanned data were managed with theirassociated software HOLON3DP HL-3DP is a high-accu-racy and medium-range photogrammetry system It is as-sociated with a high-resolution camera Table 2 shows thespecification of HL-3DP erefore in this article HL-3DPthree-dimensional photogrammetry was adopted to collectsample data Figure 1 shows the on-site measurement ofprefabricated components e relative error of this methodis less than 5 and the absolute error is less than 001mme measurement of the size of the prefabricated compo-nent thus resulted in high precision in terms of both ex-perimental error and measurement accuracy

23 Accuracy Assessment Accuracy assessment was alsoperformed in this study e findings show that the 3Dphotogrammetry of HL-3DP can provide high accuracy ofthe building structure To get a systematic accuracy as-sessment the evaluation of the estimate accuracy was carriedout using equation (1) where x represents each value in thedataset x represents themean of all values in the dataset andn represents the number of value in the dataset

e root-mean-square error (RMSE) was used tomeasure the differences between values observed Accordingto Mao and Shi [14] RMSE is commonly used in the re-search field to describe the accuracy of features and it isacceptable to measure the error and estimate the quality offeatures e lower the RMSE value the better the accuracy

Table 3 shows the dimensional measurement differencebetween the measuring steel tape and photogrammetrysystem Meanwhile the analysis for this study included thecomparison of measurement between the photogrammetrysystem and conventional method (measuring steel tape) withthe design valuee comparison is performed and recordedin Table 4 e RMSE value of the photogrammetry systemdata was 060mm while that of the measuring steel tapemethod was 094mm As the result the tolerance of thephotogrammetry system model is well within the 001-millimeter level e photogrammetry system model has alower tolerance compared to the measuring steel tap isproved that the photogrammetry system method wasaccurate

At present there are many quality control standards forfabricated components such as German DIN18203 andDIN18202 standards Japanese JASS10 American MNL-116and ACI regulations and Chinese standards GBT51231-2016 and GBT 51232-2016 [6ndash10] Each standard specifiesthe dimensional deviation of prefabricated componentsese standards usually determine the allowable value ofdimensional deviation based on traditional experiences [11]and the deviation allowable value for prefabricated com-ponents is strictly controlled and appropriately modifiedbased on the relevant specifications of cast-in-place concreteScholars do not pay attention to the prefabricated compo-nent manufacturersrsquo production capacity and have notsystematically investigated the dimensional deviation ofprefabricated components [12] To determine the reliabilityof the concrete structure design in the 1970s and 1980s [13]a survey of the size deviation of cast-in-place concretestructures was conducted in China [13] Liu et al [11]conducted the statistical investigation on the size deviationof cast-in-place concrete structures in Beijing and suggestedadjusting the size deviation acceptance index while Mao andShi [14] conducted the statistical investigation and analysison the section size and axis position of cast-in-place concretestructures and they believed that the deviation of concretesection size obeys the normal distribution yet the axisposition deviation obeys the logarithmic distributionNowadays there are many types of research on the sizedeviation of cast-in-situ structures but there are quite fewstatistical studies on the size deviation of prefabricatedconcrete components erefore it is of great significance tosystematically investigate the size deviation of fabricatedcomponents

In this paper the dimensions of fabricated concretecomponents of different companies in China are measuredby 3D photogrammetry technology obtaining a database ofwall board composite slab beam and column size devia-tion e dimensional deviation distribution characteristicsof fabricated components are analyzed

2 Data Acquisition

21 Overview of Sample Acquisition e focus is mainly onthe component forms existing in prefabricated buildingstructures beams columns wall panels and compositeslabs In terms of survey objects components produced byprefabricated component factories in different regions ofChina are mainly selected Random sampling is used foreach type of component Detailed information about thenumber of survey samples is shown in Table 1

22 Measurement Method Prefabricated building produc-tion and installation have higher precision requirementsthan traditional cast-in-situ concrete structures e tradi-tional measurement method for prefabricated concretebuildings is mainly using steel rulers and there are problemswith the use of steel rulers in measuring the dimensions of

prefabricated concrete components such as insufficientaccuracy large errors and difficulty in measuring the edgecorners of the component dimensions e HL-3DP is amedium-range photogrammetry scanner type It wasdesigned for medium-space applications such as buildingcivil and survey and forensics ree-dimensional photo-grammetry known as HL-3DP was applied for prefabricatedconcrete and the scanned data were managed with theirassociated software HOLON3DP HL-3DP is a high-accu-racy and medium-range photogrammetry system It is as-sociated with a high-resolution camera Table 2 shows thespecification of HL-3DP erefore in this article HL-3DPthree-dimensional photogrammetry was adopted to collectsample data Figure 1 shows the on-site measurement ofprefabricated components e relative error of this methodis less than 5 and the absolute error is less than 001mme measurement of the size of the prefabricated compo-nent thus resulted in high precision in terms of both ex-perimental error and measurement accuracy

23 Accuracy Assessment Accuracy assessment was alsoperformed in this study e findings show that the 3Dphotogrammetry of HL-3DP can provide high accuracy ofthe building structure To get a systematic accuracy as-sessment the evaluation of the estimate accuracy was carriedout using equation (1) where x represents each value in thedataset x represents themean of all values in the dataset andn represents the number of value in the dataset

e root-mean-square error (RMSE) was used tomeasure the differences between values observed Accordingto Mao and Shi [14] RMSE is commonly used in the re-search field to describe the accuracy of features and it isacceptable to measure the error and estimate the quality offeatures e lower the RMSE value the better the accuracy

Table 3 shows the dimensional measurement differencebetween the measuring steel tape and photogrammetrysystem Meanwhile the analysis for this study included thecomparison of measurement between the photogrammetrysystem and conventional method (measuring steel tape) withthe design valuee comparison is performed and recordedin Table 4 e RMSE value of the photogrammetry systemdata was 060mm while that of the measuring steel tapemethod was 094mm As the result the tolerance of thephotogrammetry system model is well within the 001-millimeter level e photogrammetry system model has alower tolerance compared to the measuring steel tap isproved that the photogrammetry system method wasaccurate

32 Correlation Test of Dimensional Deviation With thesignificant level a 005 as the difference a single factoranalysis of variance on the dimensions of the componentsproduced by the four companies is performed the differ-ences between the components produced by each factory arediscussed and it is evaluated whether the dimensional de-viations of the components can be traced to a certain extentso that the measurement results of different componentfactories are comparable

e KruskalndashWallis test [17] infers whether the samplecomes from the populationmedian or the distribution pattern issignificantly different is method neither requires the data to

obey the normal distribution nor does it require the homo-geneity of variance e KruskalndashWallis test is a nonparametrictest method to test whether multiple population distributionsare the same Firstly samples in multiple groups are mixed andsorted in ascending order to find the rank of each variabl if thevalues show no big difference it can be considered that thedistributions of multiple populations are not significantly dif-ferent on the contrary if the rank means of each group aresignificantly different the data of multiple groups cannot bemixed and if the distributions of multiple samples are signif-icantly different the statistic constructed by the KruskalndashWallistest is the KndashW statistic which is pRiR shown as follows

Assuming that the distribution of the size deviation ofsimilar components is the same in the company category ifplt a the null hypothesis is rejected and the size deviationdistributions of similar components produced by differentcompanies have significant differences on the contrary ifpgt a then accept the null hypothesis which means that thesize deviation distribution of similar components producedby different companies has no significant difference enonparametric KruskalndashWallis test was performed bySPSS190 software and the analysis results are shown inTable 6 e significance value of each component size isgreater than the significance level of 005 accepting theformer hypothesis so there is no significant difference in thesize deviation of similar components produced by different

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

e KruskalndashWallis test [17] infers whether the samplecomes from the populationmedian or the distribution pattern issignificantly different is method neither requires the data to

obey the normal distribution nor does it require the homo-geneity of variance e KruskalndashWallis test is a nonparametrictest method to test whether multiple population distributionsare the same Firstly samples in multiple groups are mixed andsorted in ascending order to find the rank of each variabl if thevalues show no big difference it can be considered that thedistributions of multiple populations are not significantly dif-ferent on the contrary if the rank means of each group aresignificantly different the data of multiple groups cannot bemixed and if the distributions of multiple samples are signif-icantly different the statistic constructed by the KruskalndashWallistest is the KndashW statistic which is pRiR shown as follows

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

32 Correlation Test of Dimensional Deviation With thesignificant level a 005 as the difference a single factoranalysis of variance on the dimensions of the componentsproduced by the four companies is performed the differ-ences between the components produced by each factory arediscussed and it is evaluated whether the dimensional de-viations of the components can be traced to a certain extentso that the measurement results of different componentfactories are comparable

e KruskalndashWallis test [17] infers whether the samplecomes from the populationmedian or the distribution pattern issignificantly different is method neither requires the data to

obey the normal distribution nor does it require the homo-geneity of variance e KruskalndashWallis test is a nonparametrictest method to test whether multiple population distributionsare the same Firstly samples in multiple groups are mixed andsorted in ascending order to find the rank of each variabl if thevalues show no big difference it can be considered that thedistributions of multiple populations are not significantly dif-ferent on the contrary if the rank means of each group aresignificantly different the data of multiple groups cannot bemixed and if the distributions of multiple samples are signif-icantly different the statistic constructed by the KruskalndashWallistest is the KndashW statistic which is pRiR shown as follows

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

Among them SX(x) and SY(x) are the cumulative dis-tribution functions of the two samples respectively If the valueofD is small it can be judged that the two samples are from thesame population Taking into account that the versatility of thenormal probability distribution to random variables and thegeneral significance of Weibullrsquos theory in analyzing the sizeeffect of concrete [20] these two probability statistical distri-butions are compared with the size deviation values of fabri-cated components By using Matlab the normal distributionfunction y normrnd(X σ m n) is used to generate a samplethat conforms to the normal distribution with the average valueX and the standard deviation σ e Weibull distributionfunction y weibrnd(X a b) is used to generate a sample thatconforms to the Weibull distribution with X as the averagewhere a is the scale parameter and b is the shape parameter

Figures 14ndash17 are the curve fitting diagram of the cumu-lative distribution function of different component size devi-ations eWeibull cumulative distribution function curve andthe normal distribution function curve are similar to thecomponent size deviation cumulative distribution functioncurve Intuitively the length deviation cumulative distributionand the width size deviation fit well with the normal distri-bution but are significantly different with the Weibull distri-bution In the deviation distribution of wallboard height andwallboard thickness the Weibull cumulative distribution andthe normal cumulative distribution function curve are in goodagreement To accurately compare and determine the bestdistribution it is necessary to further calculate the maximumabsolute deviation among the theoretical distribution functionthe empirical distribution function and the probability P ofmaking the first type of error e specific results are shown inTable 4 Among themD is calculated according to equation (6)and the value of P is calculated under the hypothesis of theKolmogorov distribution of the limit distribution of D

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution

It can be seen from Table 7 that in the two distributions themaximum absolute value of the normal distribution D is thesmallest and the P value of the normal distribution is the

smallest If the significance is taken at the level of 005 thefitting effects of normal distribution and Weibull distribu-tion are both acceptable and it is obvious that the former is

5 Conclusions

In this paper three-dimensional surveys of more than 1400prefabricated components in China were carried out andthe geometric parameters of the components were statisti-cally analyzed using probability and statistics methodshence obtaining the following conclusions

(1) e range of the geometric parameter uncertaintyrandom variable of the same component size pro-duced by different enterprises shows little differenceand the fluctuation is small ranging from 099 to102 e geometric parameter uncertainty coeffi-cient of variation is below 00093 and the compo-nent size deviation variability is small

(2) e significance of the correlation degree of theprefabricated component size deviation is greaterthan the level of 005 and there is no significantdifference among the size deviations of similarcomponents produced by different companies

(3) e histogram of the frequency distribution ofprefabricated component size deviation decreasesfrom the center to both sides and the fitting curvehas only one peake geometric uncertainties of thetransverse dimensions of the components are all lessthan 1 which tend to be negative deviations and thegeometric uncertainties of the longitudinal dimen-sions are all greater than 1 which tend to be positivedeviations

(4) e size deviation of fabricated components does notrefuse to obey the normal distribution and theWeibull distribution but it is more inclined to obeythe normal distribution
