The paper describes a rebar constructibility model, which was developed in an object-oriented graphic environment. The model is intended to be used during the design phase to automatically diagnose potential rebar-related constructibility problems (the Diagnosis Module), as well as to offer solutions and implement them (the Correction Module). The Diagnosis Module was implemented first in a concept-proving prototype. The proposed model searches for constructibility problems through all relevant parts of the building. This search includes the structural design, as well as other building systems.
