The current expansion of building structures has created a demand for efficient and smart surface quality evaluation at the acceptance phase. However, the conventional approach mainly relies on manual work, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and unrepeatable. This study presents a systematic and practical solution for surface quality evaluation of indoor building elements during the acceptance phase using point cloud. The practical indoor scanning parameters determination procedure was proposed by analyzing the project requirements, room environment, and apparatus. An improved DBSCAN algorithm was developed by introducing a plane validation and coplanar checking to facilitate the surface segmentation from the point cloud. And a revised Least Median of Square-based algorithm was proposed to identify the best-fit plane. Afterwards, the flatness, verticality, and squareness were evaluated and depicted using a color-coded map based on the segmented point cloud. The experiment on an apartment showcases how the system improves the information flow and accuracy during building acceptance, resulting in a potentially smart acceptance activity.

This paper proposes a novel and efficient mesostructure generation framework integrating stochastic geometry with physically based packing. First, a random radius field (RRF) method is developed, utilizing multi-scale noise superposition and topology optimization to generate 3D aggregates with realistic and controllable morphologies. Second, a packing strategy based on Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) is developed to simulate the physical casting process including gravity falling and vibration, achieving high-density aggregate skeletons. The framework is validated through the generation of a multi-phase mesostructure and the fracture simulation of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The simulation results successfully reproduced the crack propagation patterns and damage evolution paths associated with different aggregate shapes. These findings confirm the capacity and effectiveness of the proposed framework as a robust tool for the mesoscopic modeling of heterogeneous concrete materials.
