Abstract: To address the challenges in accurately modelling and assessing the stability of concrete building components under continuous vibration, this study presents a novel BIM parametric modelling and analysis method. An instability analysis framework incorporating six correction parameters is established through precise quantification of four key parameters: aspect ratio, moment of inertia, elastic modulus, and constraint conditions. Simultaneously, a critical load calculation model integrating geometric characteristics with material nonlinearity is developed. A dual-parameter instability criterion is proposed, which couples dynamic response with cumulative energy dissipation, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of component behaviour. Furthermore, a probabilistic calculation model based on five-level instability criteria is established to quantify failure risk. The performance of the proposed method is validated through experimental studies. Results indicate that the method achieves a stable modelling matching degree consistently above 95%, while the accuracy of instability analysis reaches over 96.5%, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability for engineering applications.
