BUILDINGINFORMATIONMODELINGINSTRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Abstract

 The broad use of building information modeling (BIM) is transforming the architecture, engineering, and
 construction (AEC) industry and offers many opportunities to improve performance. As a result, BIM is a topic
 that is extremely relevant to the AEC industry in general and to the field of structural engineering in particular.
 This paper will provide readers with a thorough summary of the published works that connect structural
 engineering and BIM. Understanding the present level of scholarly activity on this issue will be enhanced by this
 review, which is based on bibliometric analysis of 369 works. The findings provide a current view of the
 chronological distribution across journals, authors, countries, and institutions of the currently available works
 that connect BIM advancements and applications in structural engineering. There are significant research gaps
 that need to be addressed, including the modeling of structural components, automation of the assembly process,
 off-site construction planning and optimization, and dynamic structural health monitoring. The field of structural
 engineering has seen a radical transformation because to construction Information Modelling (BIM), which
 introduced a digital approach to design, analysis, and construction processes. BIM encourages cooperation and
 coordination among project stakeholders by using advanced 3D modeling software that integrates data from
 several disciplines. In the realm of structural engineering, BIM offers several advantages. Engineers can
 accurately observe and simulate complicated buildings because to their capacity to create very accurate and
 detailed 3D models. By enabling a full analysis and evaluation of several design options, BIM technologies
 enhance structural performance and reduce mistakes. Clash detection technologies in BIM help minimize costly
 rework during construction by detecting and resolving conflicts between different building components. BIM
 also makes exact quantity take-offs possible, which results in precise cost estimates and efficient project
 scheduling. In the realm of structural engineering, BIM provides many advantages. Engineers can see and
 replicate complex buildings with precision because to their capacity to create very detailed and accurate 3D
 models. The ability to thoroughly analyze and assess many design options is made feasible by BIM technology,
 which enhances structural performance and reduces mistakes. By detecting and resolving conflicts between
 different building components, BIM's clash detection technologies help minimize costly rework during
 construction. Additionally, BIM facilitates exact quantity take-offs, which leads to precise cost predictions and
 efficient project scheduling.
